Audio: The Wicked Hour by Alice Blanchard @AliceBooks333 @sophieamoss @MacmillanAudio #LOVEAudiobooks

I listened to the first book in the Natalie Lockhart series from the library.   The events were shocking, a real twist. I wanted to see how things would be for Natalie going forward.  She is feeling grief and guilt, pushing everyone away.  The Wicked Hour goes in a different direction from what I expected. That’s […]

I read plenty of mystery/thriller type stories.  They have many different sorts of main characters but the primary one in the new Sawyer Brooks series is a crime reporter or investigative journalist.   Sawyer is the youngest of three sisters.  We get her point of view and sometimes her sisters’.  All three of them were sexually […]

I am having a lot of trouble with starting books in new worlds these days, particularly when there are lots of characters and intricate layers of plot.  The Thursday Murder Club is a masterwork of characters; it is a delight.  But there are so many!  The characters are all beautifully presented. Our four septuagenarian stars […]

I love this Jack Reacher series.   Jack Reacher is a bit timeless.  I mean I am not sure what age he was when he got out of the Army and started wandering but I’ll guess mid-thirties. I have read every book over the years. The books went along and he aged a bit.  Then, the […]

Audio:  In The Deep by Loreth Anne White @Loreth #SarahZimmerman #BrillianceAudio #LoveAudiobooks

In the Deep is a story told mostly by women.  There is not much dialogue; we get mostly the stream of thoughts of the women.   Primarily,  Mrs. Martin Cresswell-Smith and a senior constable, Lozza Bianchi tell us the story.   The Mrs. does not always seem to be a reliable narrator, either. The blurb tells us […]

This was a very enjoyable police procedural sort of story around arsons.  Joan is on leave from her job in Philadelphia and goes out to Montana where she attended college.  She left after a fire and the convicted arsonist, Elijah,  is getting out of prison now.  She learns a lot of interesting things about her […]
