The Two Rivers continues with the base of characters remaining the same. The head of the team in Matthew, and his husband, Jonathon runs an art centre. There’s Jen who is a single parent of two teens. There’s Ross who is a favorite of Matthew’s boss, and is bucking to move up, but needs more […]
Dez is an interesting character with a lot of education and skills. He has worked for various governments as a gatekeeper. He is educated in physics and electrical engineering, but also by life’s experiences in various spots around the world. His irreverent attitude is tied up in his own moral code. He sometimes has compassion. […]
While I’m always game to try a new to me mystery series, certain elements will draw me in quickly. In this case, the rugged Nevada desert setting-small town sheriff with hidden talents paired with fascinating Cold War storyline and a familiar setting I’ve visited personally was well-nigh irresistible. Beck and his deputies find themselves investigating […]
Wow! I started this at bedtime and continued to read until I finished just after 3am. I couldn’t put it down. North of Nowhere started off fast and just kept running. When I finished, my jaw was clenched and my whole body was tense. What a fight between good and evil, with children caught in […]

Now in The Poisoner’s Ring, we have a series of poisonings and since Isla is a chemist there is concern she will be drawn into the […]
The Magistrate took a different turn in style of the story. We have punishments and brutal murders but they are of the corrupt in government, law enforcement and business. They use methods from a historical tale. Lu is called in by the forensic group to help with the investigation. The group of targets doesn’t want […]
There are a lot of bases covered in Blind Spots. There is a police procedural mystery but also a science fiction thriller. I enjoy all of these genres and the technological aspects in the story were interesting. Basically a virus caused The Blinding 7 years ago. Technology was developed so that people would be able […]
Red Queen has a different concept and is the first in a series. The setting is in Europe, in Spain. There are some cultural and government aspects which are unique. I really like the main characters. Jon is an gay police detective who got caught planting evidence. He’s a good guy and working to fight […]
