I am not embarrassed to admit a well-designed cover is sometimes the deciding factor in my book selection. And no, it’s not always a naked, male torso either. In looking at a list of historical romantic suspense, my attention was captured by the flourishing text and simple silhouettes of A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn. […]
I bought the first one in the series, Truth and Lies, as an Audible Daily Deal. When I saw Left for Dead available for review, I wanted to catch up. I owned the first, then the second The Secret Child I was able to listen to on Kindle Unlimited. The whole series is in KU, both […]
When orphan children and their nurse disappear from the London Foundling Hospital, Kat joins Daniel and a surprising ally to work against the clock before they disappear for good. The downstairs, working class situation of the amateur detective heroine in this series grabbed my focus from the start and I love seeing her as a […]
I have enjoyed this author’s work previously and I am sure I will in the future. Most of her works are standalone mystery/thrillers which is nice because you don’t have to worry about the order or if you’ve read the previous one. The End of Her is a psychological thriller as it plays strongly on […]
I have enjoyed every book in Penny Reid’s Winston Brothers series and new I get the spinoff series, the Cletus and Jenn mysteries, with my favorite couple. Cletus and Jenn are my absolute favorites! Engagement and Espionage is a deeper look into some of the events which happened following Beard Science for this couple. I […]
I love this Will Trent series and I’m so happy I was able to listen to many of the previous books with the new audio recordings, all narrated by Kathleen Early. Even though I read The Silent Wife, I heard her voice. In any format, it is an excellent story. Now on the 10th book […]
The title, Seven Lies, means that someone isn’t telling the truth. I usually prefer those who tell the truth. But I understand the sort of white lie which is part of not hurting someone else’s feelings or even to allow them to express their own opinion separate from your own. We get the honest story […]
I have read all three series by J.A. Jance for a long time. I always recommend to read series in order. This Ali Reynolds series is probably the least realistic of the three, and is not based on law enforcement personnel like the other series. I still love it. Ali was a news anchor who […]
Each book in the Criminal Profiler is truly a standalone. The connection is each one has a criminal profiler as a main character. Oddly, Hide and Seek is more related to the standalone Cut and Run where the main character Macy Crow is introduced, and it should follow that book in reading. The main character, […]
I have read and loved the V.I. Warshawski series for a looooong time, since it started in 1982! Each book is another case, so you could read them out of order but I wouldn’t. I enjoy the progression of the characters and they are all great to read. Love & Other Crimes is different, an […]
