This is the first book in the Detective Annalisa Vega series by Joanna Schaffhausen. I’ve never read a book by this author. I don’t remember how I found her. But it was one of the ebooks I downloaded from the library before my vacation in July. I’m a huge fan of Karin Slaughter’s Will Trent […]
I don’t remember how this series was originally added to my TBR list, but it has been there for a long time. When I was looking for ebooks to take with me to the cabin, I downloaded this one and actually read this story. I’m really glad I did. I had a great time with […]
I always enjoy Allison Brennan and was excited to start this new Angelhart Investigation series. I wasn’t able to read the prequel before this first book, but the author’s newsletter assured me that would be fine. I will read it if it ever comes up in my library hold. You’ll Never Find Me has the […]
When I pick up a stand-alone thriller/suspense novel, to some extent, I understand how the plot will unfold. I realize the ‘thrill’ part of thriller is in not knowing what is going to happen, however, if you read enough of them, they tend to unfold in a particular way. Regardless, I still enjoy the character […]
I really love the Quinn & Costa series. Kara Quinn is incredibly smart and skilled, having been undercover for 12 years with the LAPD. Her cover was blown so it’s best for her to be somewhere other than LA where the bad guys want to kill her. They already killed her partner. So she takes […]
Trigger warning: Suicide I grabbed this book after realizing that there were more Holly Gibney books after reading Holly (book 3). After reading this, I’m not sure I would call it a Holly Gibney book, but it does have her as a character in the second half of the story. The Outsider follows a small […]
I completely missed that there was a Holly Gibney series. She worked with Bill Hodges in the series of the same name. I read that series a long time ago, and loved Holly. She’s a very quirky and easy to love character. The fact that she had three books out after the Bill Hodges series […]
I have come to appreciate this author’s work greatly. He has a long running series which is a police / investigator procedural that seems current time. His independent books like this one seem more a look at historical times and attitudes. The setting is a rural community of Jewel, Minnesota in Blue Earth county, starting […]
Wow! I started this at bedtime and continued to read until I finished just after 3am. I couldn’t put it down. North of Nowhere started off fast and just kept running. When I finished, my jaw was clenched and my whole body was tense. What a fight between good and evil, with children caught in […]
The Quinn & Costa series captivated me from the beginning. Kara Quinn is incredibly smart and skilled, having been undercover for 12 years with the LAPD. Her cover was blown so it’s best for her to be somewhere other than LA where the bad guys want to kill her. They already killed her partner. So […]
