Somehow, I thought with the title, The Crime Beat, I would be getting a true crime story. The genre is mystery / thriller and it is fiction. The main characters are an unlikely duo. Jane is a crime beat reporter who is a widow. Rob is a former marine, cop, separated from his wife, and […]

Pretty Things is a great step into a whole new world. This mystery thriller held me waiting to see what happened next. The chapters were from different main characters point of view, mostly Nina and Vanessa. Nina is the grifter and Vanessa is the heiress. I was team Nina from the beginning. This might be […]

I don’t know what I expected from Please See Us but it wasn’t what I read. We do get the thoughts and activities of the two young women, Lily and Clara. We also get several other points of view which helped tell the story. I didn’t remember from the blurb about the two young women […]
