Tammy @ Books, Bones & Buffy featured this on one of her future fiction type posts and the concept appealed to me. It’s exactly the kind of themes I love – space scfi, murder mystery, detectives, and technology. Murder by Memory is also a very quick read I did in one go. We meet Dorothy […]
The Antonia Scott series is about Antonia and her partner, Jon. They are sort of government agency law enforcement but a special program called Red Queen. The setting is Europe and they are based in Spain. Jon is gay; he has had some issues with trying too hard to get the bad guys. Rather than […]
I had always wanted to read this author and really enjoyed Killers of a Certain Age.  I was thrilled the Killers of a Certain Age would continue as a series.  The women seemed to be retired without being erased after the last adventure about two years ago. We have Helen, Natalie, Mary Alice and Billie. […]
I LOVE the Orphan X series. I recommend reading from the beginning, in order, for the character and world developments.  Evan has grown and become more personable throughout the series. He grapples with his Orphan rules and the feelings for people. I worry for him in every book. Evan has some real issues with […]
I’ve had this Detective Inspector Louise Blackwell series starter checked out in KU for years. Finally, I just decided to schedule reading and reviewing it.

Dez is an interesting character with a lot of education and skills. He has worked for various governments as a gatekeeper. He is educated in physics and electrical engineering, but also by life’s experiences in various spots around the world. His irreverent attitude is tied up in his own moral code. He sometimes has compassion. […]
I love police procedurals and mysteries and mathematics and puzzles. In Head Cases, we get a special FBI team which has odd skills who are particularly skilled at puzzles and pattern recognition. The team is normally lead by Frank but now Gardner is having a chance to run the show since the case is very […]
The Ruin was the first in the Cormac Reilly series. Cormac is a homicide detective in Ireland and has been for 20 years. He has had real success but has just transferred from to a new location because of his girlfriend, Emma’s job. He’s being shunted off to cold cases in the new unit. Now […]
This author always comes up with something rather creepy with a big twist. She gets you rooting for someone only to find out they are not what they seem Beautiful Ugly is the story of an author and his wife who love each other but stop communicating well. Dire consequences follow. There’s the mystery of […]
The Quinn & Costa series is a favorite which I highly anticipate reading. The author has a talent for connecting me to the characters and my emotions.  The backdrop to the series is Kara’s developing relationship with Matt and her incredible skills. Kara Quinn is incredibly smart and intuitive. She was undercover with LA and […]
