Double review: Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco by Michelle Chouinard #MichelleChouinard @SNemethParker @MinotaurBooks @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks @sophiarose1816

Anne’s Review I loved this! I am so glad I was able to squeeze this one into the schedule.  The Serial Killer’s Guide to San Francisco was very smart, fun and easy to read.  Our main point of view and teller of the story is Capri.  She is a divorced mother of a graduate student […]

🎧 Death at the Sanatorium by Ragnar Jónasson @ragnarjo  #SamWoolf @MinotaurBooks @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I haven’t read this author previously but wanted to read about Iceland plus I enjoy police procedurals.  Death at the Sanatorium was interesting and not what I expected.  I did read that this is sort of a spinoff from a television show The Darkness so maybe that is why some things seemed odd. It didn’t […]

🎧 The Reaping by Jess Lourey @jesslourey #JamesDaniels #BrillianceAudio #KindleUnlimted #LoveAudiobooks

I was surprised to see this was a different narrator than the first book until I realized the point of view is Harry Steinbeck rather than Van Reed.  It’s quite fascinating to have it and I wonder if all the books in the series will alternate this way.  They both have secrets and fears on […]

🎧 City of Secrets by PJ Tracy #PJTracy #AbbyCraden @MinotaurBooks @Dreamscapeaudio @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks

The series has settled into being the  Detective Margaret Nolan series written by the daughter from the mother-daughter writing team. Detective Nolan, along with her partner, is sort of a main character, with supporting characters in her friends, family and love interests. But Sam Easton has a strong role, along with the people in his […]

🎧 Worst Case Scenario by TJ Newman @T_J_Newman #JoeMorton @littlebrown @HachetteAudio #LoveAudiobooks

This author never disappoints in providing fast-paced action with possible dire consequences.  Worst Case Scenario delivers a frightening case with a plane and a nuclear plant. The points of view we get are from ordinary people who give their all for others and the greater good.  Our primary characters include Steve, the firefighter who recently […]

🎧 House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen @sarahpekkanen #LauraBenanti @StMartinsPress @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I’ve wanted to try this author and I’m glad I was able to read House of Glass.  Stella is an engaging main character with good intentions and knowledgeable about her work in being a representative for children.  Rose is a bit younger than her normal cases but has a condition she once had herself. The […]

🎧 If You Tell A Lie by Lucinda Berry @lucindaberry22 @BaileyCarrVOICE @SNemethParker @OhSusannahJones @JaneOppenheimer @robins_carly  #BrillianceAudio #LoveAudiobooks #KindleUnlimited

I’ve been thinking about what to say and I’m still not sure.  There are four main characters who start as friends at gifted kids camp when they are 8.  They are all misfits in their regular life as too smart, too fat, or something.  At camp, they end up as the popular girls.  If You […]

🎧 Shades of Mercy by Bruce Borgos @BruceBorgos @jbabzbabson @MinotaurBooks @RecordedBooks #LoveAudiobooks

Obviously, I enjoyed everything about this next in the Porter Beck series.  The main point of view being a sheriff, with lots of military intelligence training, set in a small town with lots of natural beauty, are all positives.  Shades of Mercy has both spies, from China, and drug cartel gangsters from Mexico causing problems […]
