Sunday Series: Joe Pickett by CJ Box @cjboxauthor #DavidChandler @recordedbooks.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks #LibraryLove #SIAM @RecordedBooks

  I needed to figure out a way to start reading series where I am not current or the series is finished but haven’t read them yet.  So it’s a way to commit myself to read my backlist, particularly series.   I have been wanting to read the Joe Pickett series for awhile after reading […]

Sheriff Bet Rivers Mystery series by Elena Taylor @elenataylorauthor.bsky.social @crookedlanebooks.bsky.social @severnhouse.bsky.social @partnersincrimevbt.bsky.social  @elenataylorauthor

  The Sheriff Bet Rivers series is one I had been wanting to read.  I was delighted to have this opportunity. Elizabeth Rivers grew up in the small town of Collier, Washington.  Her father and his father were the sheriff here.  She left home to study law enforcement and work in Los Angeles.  She came […]

🎧 Closer Than You Think by Debra Webb @DebraWebbAuthor  #EliseArsenault #BrillianceAudio #LoveAudiobooks #KindleUnlimited🎧

I got the first book in the  Vera Boyette series through Prime’s Amazon First Reads.  Deeper Than the Dead introduces us to Vera Boyette as she goes home to help her sisters when dead bodies are found in a cave on the family farm.  The sisters and many in the small town have so many […]

Cold Burn by AJ Landau @JonDLand @jeffayerswrites.bsky.social @minotaurbooks.bsky.social @MinotaurBooks

I loved Leave No Trace is a chilling story of terrorists employing methods and gathering insurrectionists in much as the attack on the Capital in 2021.  The leaders are demented narcissists, so really similar. We are introduced to Michael Walker who works for the national park system in their law enforcement. The other key player […]

Thrifty Thursday: Australia edition #FionaTarr #KerryGreenwood #AnnaWillett #ThriftyThursday #KindleUnlimited

The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). This is a collection of freebies which are set in Australia. There are a few police procedurals from Fiona Tarr. Then there is an amateur private investigator from Kerry Greenwood.  The books from Anna Willett are what I think […]

Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping on a Dead Man by Jesse Q. Sutanto @thewritinghippo @berkleypub.bsky.social  @sophiarose1816 @Berkley

San Francisco’s most adorable snoop is back and delving into the death of an online influencer who’s an off-line enigma.  Jesse Sutanto’s Vera Wong captured my heart and funny bone in the first book so I didn’t hesitate to reach for this latest. Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping is the second book in a series.  […]

A Troubled Tide by Lynne McEwan @lynnemcewanwriter.bsky.social @canelobooks.bsky.social @LynneJMcEwan @canelo_co

The Detective Shona Oliver series does a nice job with its police procedural aspects.  Shona Oliver is a Detective Inspector.  I would read these books in order for the personal growth and relationships.   I like the setting in Scotland,  the mysteries and cases, the police procedures, and less, Shona’s personal situations. Shona struggles with her […]

I noticed Nobody’s Fool was the second in the Sami Kierce series so I decided to read Fool Me Once first. I found this very confusing since there was no character called Sami Kierce.  There was a Roger Kierce and he was a minor, background sort of character. So I was surprised now to read […]
