Eight Perfect Murders was not exactly what I expected. But that’s usually a good thing. The main character ran a book shop in Boston. I enjoyed the bookish things and the different authors and books discussed. The book shop owner, before he was an owner, and was an employee, wrote his first post for the […]
After the last harrowing adventure and moment of truth in their relationship, Veronica and Stoker are back at the earl’s residence cataloguing his family collection for the museum, squabbling as usual, and feeling the littlest bit unsure of how to move things to the next level in the relationship. But, a secret royal summons, a […]
I have been on a kick with mystery/ thrillers lately. Unspeakable Things is set in Minnesota in the 1980s. I lived in Minnesota for many years and I know the rural country where the story is set. I lived nearby during the same time period actually, but some things felt much older, more like the […]
I didn’t know anything about this author or series but it sounded different than my usual mystery / thriller books. Without Sanction is more of a political thriller than a spy or military one, and the first in the Matt Drake series. I felt a bit confused initially when getting to know the characters and […]

I don’t know what I expected from Please See Us but it wasn’t what I read. We do get the thoughts and activities of the two young women, Lily and Clara. We also get several other points of view which helped tell the story. I didn’t remember from the blurb about the two young women […]
I have been wanting to read this author for awhile, so when this new Mobile Response Team series started it was a perfect opportunity. The mystery / thriller genre with a touch of romance is my jam right now too. The Third to Die has the incredibly smart and capable, Kara Quinn, on leave from […]
I’ve been wanting to read this author and finally grabbed this audio and did. It’s easier with non series to jump into the work but it’s also a whole new world and story and characters. The Sun Down Motel is a told in two alternating points of view. One is Viv who worked at the […]
OK, The Good Neighbor was totally not what I expected. I thought it would be a story about looking for the missing girl with her family’s terror and some police procedural detail and the suspense of not knowing what had happened to her. I also kind of expected that the neighbor would be a key […]
I continue to love the Rockton series. I would not try to read this as a standalone. The characters grow and change throughout the series. But mostly, each book is so good I would hate to miss any! I highly recommend them. This remote wilderness town is in a beautiful, primitive place. Rockton is more […]
