I discovered this author earlier this year when I was looking for lawyer series. I LOVED his Robin Lockwood series and hope to continue reading it soon. When I saw this new standalone, I was thrilled to read it. The main character Charlie Webb is a regular, good guy. He’s not too smart or too […]
I was happy to continue the Laurel Snow series. I like Laurel and Huck. Abigail and Zeke are wacky characters, a bit cliche in their evil as malignant narcissists. We learn more about Laurel and Huck personally. It was especially great to get more of Huck’s history. The murders and the capabilities of Jason Abbott […]

I’ve always loved her work, I’ve read almost everything she’s written, even her Young Adult and Middle Grade stories, which is rare for me. But she’s such a great storyteller, I can’t help but pick […]
Anne’s Review I loved this! I am so glad I was able to squeeze this one into the schedule. The Serial Killer’s Guide to San Francisco was very smart, fun and easy to read. Our main point of view and teller of the story is Capri. She is a divorced mother of a graduate student […]
