I’ve enjoyed this author in the past with both series books and non-series books. The Swimmer is a standalone and very suspenseful. It’s about 40 year old Chloe Cooper who is caring for her mother, who is dying of cancer, working as a bartender. She also does some dog walking in the neighborhood. A new […]
There are many characters and all of them are worried about themselves; things they have done in the past. When a body is found underneath a remote chapel, everything starts getting examined to the unhappiness of many people. Jane is excited to have a cold case with some real evidence and something important to do […]
Here are your unlikeable characters where it is hard to know who to champion. The Maid’s Diary spends more time in the character’s heads than with dialogue. We have the points of view of Kit Darling, the maid, the elderly woman next door, Mal, the police detective, Daisy, the pregnant wife, and John, the husband. […]
I’m a big fan of this author and so it didn’t surprise me that I loved The Patient’s Secret. There are several families who are having various issues which add to the layers and make it unclear who the killer is. Everyone has secrets and motive. Tom and Lily Bradley have children, Phoebe and Matthew. […]
In the Deep is a story told mostly by women. There is not much dialogue; we get mostly the stream of thoughts of the women.

My choice is the Angie Pallorino series by Loreth Anne White. I purchased all the audio books through Audible. I’ve enjoyed some of this author’s other works. I’m also on a mystery/thriller / suspense mood so this series was a fit. I expected the genre but The Drowned Girls was so much more. […]

I was so excited to read this second book in the Dark Lure series. The Dark Bones is another case set in the beautiful Canadian wilderness near a smallish community. I was able to get the first book A Dark Lure on audiobook through Kindle Unlimited. It focused on Olivia, with other characters being her […]
I wanted to read A Dark Lure since the author is a favorite of my friend, Jonetta. The next book, The Dark Bones, is being released in May and I already have an eARC so I needed to read the first of the Dark Lure series being the OCD reader I am. I was thrilled […]
