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 […]
I felt a little hesitant to start a longer book with fantasy themes often oppressive of some peoples. The pacing was good and with the character and world development at a reasonable amount of detail, I didn’t have trouble. Kosara was a great character. She was very relatable having her fears and desires. She was […]
I have not always been a fan of time travel but this author has two series where it is an element and I love them. A Rip Through Time series is where a modern day police detective ends up 150 years earlier. So the story is primarily set historically. I would read this story in […]
Our main point of view is Jolene Garcia, who is a news reporter. She does on air reporting for her special segments. Jolene works very hard to develop contacts, find breaking stories and report new angles. She is under a lot of pressure as the station moves to more digital reporting in real time with […]
The Antonia Scott series is set in Europe, in Spain. Antonia and her partner, Jon, are sort of government agency law enforcement but a special program. Jon is gay; he has had some issues with trying too hard to get the bad guys. Rather than jailing him, he works with Antonia. Antonia has a high […]
