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. Beyond Reasonable Doubt is the next in the Keera Duggan series. The setting is Seattle, as some of his other series and we have […]
Kate Quinn’s body of work is filled with amazing portrayals of women and how they triumphed in unlikely circumstances. Her writing style blends human interest and history in a way that makes it so easy to connect with the characters. The Briar Club departs from the World War 2 era subjects I was used, and […]
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 […]
I have enjoyed Robert Dugoni’s books from the first one I read and now I wouldn’t think of not reading all his new ones. Her Deadly Game is the first in a new series, Keera Duggan. The setting is Seattle, as some of his other series. In fact, it is the same world, as we […]
Nothing like a remote location, work trip to be conducive to murder. I knew when Emily had people breaking into her house and office, that she should be more careful. Pretty quickly, it was clear someone was after her based on her husband’s work and patents he could have. I even knew who it was […]
Jeanie narrates the whole story for us in The Lost Kings. She is very odd but she has had many bad shocks in her life. She’s never really had anyone who cared for her or supported her after her mother died. She ends up with her aunt and uncle, where she lived until her […]
I’ve spent the last month focusing on WW2 fiction and drama in honor of D-day on June 6th. I’ve shed a lot of tears, stared vacantly at the wall at the end of a particularly brutal story, and sighed with satisfaction at an HEA I had prepared myself not to get. But one theme runs […]
