Wow. I always enjoy this author. I found the mystery aspects to be elusive and twisty. There are a couple storylines which eventually connect and intertwine later. I liked the characters well enough, although they are not the people I would meet in my everyday life. I understood and empathized with their feelings. Avery was […]
I am still loving the Devlin & Falco series. We get the point of view from multiple characters this time. The main characters are still Kerri Devlin and Luke Falco and we get both of their viewpoints. We also get a bit from Jana Scott, the mother of the homicide victim. Devlin and Faldo work […]
I listened to the first two books in the Natalie Lockhart series but The Witching Tree doesn’t seem to be on audio yet. I was curious to see what would happen with Natalie. She has had a lot of big and dangerous cases ove the past year. She’s tired, grieving the loss of her sister, […]
Dark Night is the third book in the Alaska Wild Mysteries. I would read the series in order as both the mystery plot arc and the personal relationships grow throughout the series. Each book has smaller mysteries in addition to, and sometimes tangled up in, the main series mysteries. There is some small town quirkiness […]
After turning down the offer of marriage to a duke, a woman with precarious status in society needs to prove her worth, but the appearance of her ne’er-do-well father and his subsequent murder is more than a ticklish problem that she can deftly snap her fingers at. The Rosalind Thorne stories are more than a […]
I’ve always enjoyed the books by this author and for the HoHoHo Read-athon, I have been devouring the Christmas series. I listened to first few through Audible plus, and found more at the library. I’m not quite finished but the books are unrelated to each other and mostly not connected to the various series. A […]
The description of Twentymile intrigued me and I knew I wanted to read it. When I started reading, I was quickly absorbed into the world, the characters and story. I liked the setting of North Carolina. The main character, Tsula, is a federal agent, but grew up in the area, part of the Eastern Band […]
Any review I write for a Penny Reid book should come with a disclaimer. Something like “This woman is a genius; it is impossible not to love anything she writes.” Of course, it is a double whammy when you add Cletus Winston into the equation. Engagement and Espionage, the first installment in the Cletus and […]
I started this Detective Ford series, because Steve West was narrating, but a British police mystery is a favorite genre as well. The main character is a single dad, who lost his wife in a tragic accident six years earlier. I love a story with layers. We are in DI Ford’s head and getting the […]
I really enjoyed The Conductors. I have always loved stories about the Civil War and the Underground Railroad. I would read these books in order as The Undertakers continues the story. The main character and point of view is Hetty (Henrietta). She and her husband, Benjy, are magic users. They are settled in Philadelphia. She […]
