🎧 Nemesis by Gregg Hurwitz @gregghurwitzbooks.bsky.social @ScottBrick @macmillanaudio.bsky.social @stmartinspress.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks @GreggHurwitz @MinotaurBooks @StMartinsPress @MacmillanAudio

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 […]

🎧 The Crossing by Matt Brolly @MattBrollyUK @daniellercohen.bsky.social @daniellercohen1 #BrillianceAudio #LoveAudiobooks #KindleUnlimited🎧

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. I have KU and don’t read enough of my picks here because it fits fewer challenges. I like Louise, although she starts this series in a hole personally and professionally. […]

Chain Reaction by James Byrne @JByrnemystery @MinotaurBooks @stmartinspress.bsky.social

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. […]

🎧 Head Cases by John McMahon @johnmcmahonbooks @jwdamron @jwdamron.bsky.social @MacmillanAudio @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks

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 […]

🎧 Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney @alicewriterland @RCArmitage @Tuppence @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks

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 […]

🎧 See How They Hide by Allison Brennan @Allison_Brennan @GutierrezFortin @HarlequinAudio @HarperAudio #LoveAudiobooks

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 […]

🎧 Conviction by Denise Mina @DameDeniseMina #CathleenMcCarron @HachetteAudio #LoveAudiobooks @4saintjude

When looking for a stand-alone book in between series, my go to is the Reese’s Book Club, mostly because there is a great selection of mysteries featuring strong, capable women. This is how I found Denise Mina’s Conviction; part adventure thriller, part true-crime podcast, and completely engrossing. I had no idea what the story was […]

Sunday Series: Joe Pickett by CJ Box @cjboxauthor #DavidChandler @RecordedBooks #SundaySeries #LoveAudiobooks

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 […]
