I always love the Gaslight Mystery series and look forward to each one. I’ve enjoyed the various characters but was glad Frank and Sarah were well involved here, along with Maeve and Gino. Mother Malloy is one sharp cookie. The Deckers are always a pleasant addition and I love Catherine and Brian (wish we saw […]
Emily Henry’s stories related by Julia Whelan really hit the feelings for me. Funny Story started as not at all funny but heartbreaking. The outcome was ironic, not humorous funny. With only a week to find somewhere to live, Daphne ends up with the ex-fiancé (Miles) of her ex-fiancé’s (Peter) new fiancé (Petra). Uh, yeah. […]
I have read and loved the V.I. Warshawski series for a looooong time, since it started in 1982! Each book is another case, so you could read them out of order but I wouldn’t. I enjoy the progression of the characters and they are all great to read. Vic is back in Lawrence, Kansas for […]

A deeper connection slowly surfaces as the danger grows more acute on Predicament Avenue. I have seen a […]
I don’t read very much historical fiction. It is often degrading to women. The commonplace beliefs are upsetting. A Calamity of Souls was heartbreaking each step of the way. With less scientific methods, and the prejudice in law enforcement and judicial systems, a black man arrested for murder is likely to be convicted. He is […]
I read the Greatcoats series a few years back. It was a little the Three Musketeers with Gods, Saints and Magic. Play of Shadows is the first book in a new series set in the same world year later in the Court of Shadows series, following a new cast of characters saving Trista in a […]
I expected a bit more of a technical scifi aspect. There wasn’t too much on the technology. I’m With Her is much more a psychological thriller. One young woman, Elizabeth, is confidant and used to having her way because of her beauty. Mary is by no means ugly but lacks confidence and is more interested […]
I didn’t know exactly what to expect but the fake dating had me willing to read. Amerie has really had the worst luck and poor timing. She is smart, competent and hard-working. It’s seriously wrong that a company where she did outstanding work for years had such limited backup support for emergencies and stuck her […]
I LOVE the Frankie Elkin series. Lisa Gardner has long been an author I have enjoyed and I am thrilled with this new series. Here’s what I had to say in earlier reviews which gives you a foundation about Frankie: … Frankie is a recovering alcoholic with no special skills beyond tenacity and the fortitude to […]
