I struggled to get myself to read Heartbreak Bay, only difficult, because I know it is the last in this Stillhouse Lake series. But it is also the last book from an author I have loved, in every genre she has written. The only series I haven’t read of her work is the Weather Warden […]
I have read many mystery/ thrillers this past year. I am discovering my preference is police procedurals and political thrillers, more than psychological thrillers. Bloodline is definitely a psychological thriller. The setting is Minnesota in areas I know. There is a well-developed world with large cast of characters who felt real enough. Anyone who has […]
I’ve really been preferring to read police procedurals lately but you never know exactly what you will get when you try a new (to me) author. I have had some good luck with this genre in Kindle Unlimited titles. So I read the start of the new Detective Kate Young series. I’ll definitely be reading […]
It took me a little to get started but that isn’t unusual these days. There is a bit of past / present here with Kieran and his wife, Mia, coming back to their hometown after years away. Kieran’s father is deteriorating in health so he will need to go into care, and the house sold, […]
I continue to love the Rockton series. I would not try to read this as a standalone. The characters grow and change throughout the series. But mostly, each book is so good I would hate to miss any! I highly recommend them. Rockton is more set up and has more things than the other people […]
Quiet in Her Bones is a different genre than her long established series. Nalini Singh seems to be branching out into these mystery thrillers which are standalone and I’m really enjoying it. The story is set in New Zealand (as was the previous one) and includes some different cultural groups. Our point of view for […]
I am really enjoying this genre but If I Disappear was not what I expected at all. Unexpected can be good but this was crazy town. Sera is an interesting character and stronger than I would be in figuring out the situation. She has far less support in her life and not too many options […]
There is the dual aspect of a murder mystery along with a family secrets thriller in Sweet Water. I admired the main character, Sarah. She really tried to do the right things and she cared for other people. She was so naive though. She definitely allows herself to see what she wants to believe. Sarah’s […]
I decided to review Pretty Little Wife because of the genre and the narrator. I didn’t realize I also have enjoyed the author in the past as well, in a different genre. There are two main points of view here. We get the thoughts of Lila, who is the suspect, and wife of the missing […]
I am seriously enjoying police procedurals in the crazy world of the last few months. I had purchased the first audiobook in the Eve Ronin series awhile ago , so when I saw this second book available I requested it. The first one was an easy, good read so I was happy to start on […]
