She Doesn’t Have a Clue isn’t going to be for everyone, but it was definitely for me. Jenny Elder Moke is a new to me author. I really enjoyed the main character, Kate and how messed up she was in a cute way. The murder mystery on an private Island during a wedding weekend was […]
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 really enjoyed the first book of this The Witch’s Compendium of Monsters series. I seem to enjoy many Slavic mythology fantasy books. I don’t want to repeat my review of the first book, so I’ll give you a very short recap of the world and characters. I would read these books in order. I […]
I enjoyed continuing in the Mercy & Elvis Mysteries series. I know the world and the characters now. In The Night Woods, Mercy is very pregnant and goes walking around the property and its woods. She is skilled, mostly fit, and has Elvis with her but I felt it was a bit ridiculous. She […]
I started Red River Road on audio and just felt confused. There are three main characters: Katy, Beth and Wyatt. Wyatt is a child and seems a bit unconnected to the story for most of the book. Katy and Beth seem like unreliable narrators of the story which is not one of my favorite things. […]
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 […]
This is the first book in the Detective Annalisa Vega series by Joanna Schaffhausen. I’ve never read a book by this author. I don’t remember how I found her. But it was one of the ebooks I downloaded from the library before my vacation in July. I’m a huge fan of Karin Slaughter’s Will Trent […]
The series has settled into being the Detective Margaret Nolan series written by the daughter from the mother-daughter writing team. Detective Nolan, along with her partner, is sort of a main character, with supporting characters in her friends, family and love interests. But Sam Easton has a strong role, along with the people in his […]
Obviously, I enjoyed everything about this next in the Porter Beck series. The main point of view being a sheriff, with lots of military intelligence training, set in a small town with lots of natural beauty, are all positives. Shades of Mercy has both spies, from China, and drug cartel gangsters from Mexico causing problems […]
I always enjoy a police procedural and new settings. Trouble in Queenstown is a private investigator who used to be a cop. Vandy has moved back to her hometown to deal with her grief and take care of her father as he ages. At first, it seemed somewhat quirky and cliche, more like a cozy […]
