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 […]
The Tracy Crosswhite series is an absolute favorite. I enjoy every book immensely. Tracy is much more calm and talented than I could be. She has to deal with the corrupt too often, but she handles them so well. She also doesn’t forget what is important. Tracy is working cold cases now which gives her […]
The Eve Ronin series is one I would read in order as the personal and career developments build through the series. The focus is on the police procedural with a small background of personal life but the Hollywood scene is almost a character itself. Eve is a new homicide detective in a misogynistic, political […]
A Life for a Life might be the end of the Detective Kate Young series, but I hope not. The plot gives us some layers with a serial killer, Kate’s personal grief and career aspirations and her investigation into her husband’s death and department corruption. The ending is a bit vague so I’d like more […]
I am really enjoying the Charles Jenkins series, which begins with The Eighth Sister, which was a heart-stopping fire hose of action and life-or-death danger. Charles Jenkins is unusual in that he is older, in his 60s, and left the CIA 40 years ago. He has a young son and a newborn daughter. I think […]
I have read another series by this author and somehow didn’t pay very much attention to the blurb, thinking this would be a police procedural. The Village is much more a psychological suspense. Naomi, as a crime journalist, wants to know what happened to a family and buys the home where they disappeared. Her new […]
I am still loving the Devlin & Falco series. We get the point of view from multiple characters this time. The main characters are still Kerri Devlin and Luke Falco and we get both of their viewpoints. We also get a bit from Jana Scott, the mother of the homicide victim. Devlin and Faldo work […]
I started this Detective Ford series, because Steve West was narrating, but a British police mystery is a favorite genre as well. The main character is a single dad, who lost his wife in a tragic accident six years earlier. I love a story with layers. We are in DI Ford’s head and getting the […]
The Eve Ronin series is like other police procedurals I read, only it isn’t. Eve is a new homicide detective in a misogynistic, political department in Los Angeles California. She became famous in the first book for arresting a tv star behaving badly, which helped her get the promotion. Eve has a tough balance […]
The spooky Yorkshire moors, a crazy woman in the attic, an ambiguous brooding hero, and a stalwart, plain featured and plain spoken heroine made Jane Eyre a popular classic and, by calling on these gothic tones and winning formula, a new author has sparked my interest once again with a modern retelling of the classic.
