I have not read Gillian French previously. Perhaps because more of her work is in the Young Adult genre and this is an Adult offering. The main character here is Shaw Connelly who is a fingerprint and evidence technician for the police. She is very experienced and is training a new officer. Shaw’s older sister […]
I have loved everything I have read from Robert Dugoni. The series I’ve read are all mysteries of some sort: a police procedural, a spy thriller and now a legal thriller. Her Cold Justice is the next in the Keera Duggan series. The setting is Seattle, as some of his other series and we have […]
The setup of this story is one I have seen more often lately. A woman in law enforcement following her father who headed up the organization. The father may have been good, bad or neither but is often dead. Leanne left town and started in Dallas, but came home to help her brother. Innocence Road […]
The Safari looked so interesting with its African setting and mystery genre. There weren’t as many animals or much safari activity but the mystery was there like a remote place with bodies dropping. A wealthy family comes to their retreat lodging in South Africa. Their company has worked with sustainable, eco friendly products particularly clothing. […]

A Talent for Murder is the third in the Henry Kimball / Lily Kintner series. The Kind Worth Saving is the second in the series. I actually got the first book The Kind Worth Killing at the library. Those two books are almost 8 years apart. Now it seems we have an odd series with […]
When I pick up a stand-alone thriller/suspense novel, to some extent, I understand how the plot will unfold. I realize the ‘thrill’ part of thriller is in not knowing what is going to happen, however, if you read enough of them, they tend to unfold in a particular way. Regardless, I still enjoy the character […]
Saving Emma is set in the same world as the Detective Max Rupert series and Joe Talbot series. One of the main characters Boady Sanden, with events leading to this story, appears in The Heavens May Fall and now we are roughly four years later. Boady is a lawyer and the historical story, Nothing More […]
“A quiet bookworm who becomes history’s deadliest female sniper” is an epitaph I would want for myself if I were in an RPG or Urban Fantasy novel. Who am I kidding? I’d want it regardless. As the tagline for The Diamond Eye, my interest was captured immediately and the book shot straight to the top […]
