The Mercy & Elvis Mysteries series has become a favorite for me with plenty of mysteries, well-developed characters and dogs. In The Wedding Plot, a veterinarian, Patience, who is Mercy’s loved grandmother, is marrying another veterinarian, Claude. Mercy’s mother, Grace is running everything and various family members not met or developed previously are on hand. […]
This is the second book in the Stillhouse Lake series. It follows Gwen Proctor and her two kids who are running from her serial killer ex-husband and the online trolls that worship him. In the first book, the entire thing was told by Gwen. This book is told by Gwen, her two kids, Lanny and […]
I have to tell you I was worried for Hannah from the start. She’s pregnant and all the stress isn’t good for her, plus she is digging into the past and bringing up things other people want to be finished. It’s not she’s TSTL but she pushes it. She lets her emotions take her dangerous […]
I’ve really been enjoying the DI Clare Mackay series. I bought the first one, See Them Run, as a audio deal on Chirp. When the next few in the series went on sale I thought I should see if I liked the first one before I bought more, but then I found the next ones […]

Trigger warnings: suicide, substance abuse, violence against women Pretty Girls is another great story by Karin Slaughter. It is exactly what I would expect to get from her, dark, twisted and kept me on the edge of my seat. It is also not the book for anyone who is even a little bit squeamish. I […]
I chose to do a theme for this month’s meme of books with an FBI agent as a main character. Books in this category are mainly mystery police procedural or romantic suspense. The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). Newsletter freebie on June 2, 2019 […]
Enchanting and mysterious India is the setting for this latest in The Pink Carnation series and we have a bad girl paired with a squeaky clean heroic guy to track down the latest of Napoleon’s spies, The Marigold. Full of light banter, frivolity, and a good dose of romantic espionage, The Betrayal of the Blood […]

She’s had some success with books and even television, and is now head of her department. She is normally called in when bones are found with […]
