“A lavish party at a country estate, men in dinner suits, women in finery, fine wine, fine art, fine music, fine murder, and a little dog – it all feels so very Agatha Christie.” Says Mae Valentine, who doesn’t seem able to perform her duties as butler these days without ending up embroiled in something…
Cordelia Kingsbridge’s Seven of Spades series earned a place on my Best of 2018 list, and the penultimate book, One-Eyed Royals, was actually my pick for best book of the year. I’ve shouted from the rooftops about this series for the last six months and to say I’ve been eager to get my hands on…
Susan Stoker is a popular and prolific author of romantic suspense novels and has written several long-running series in the genre. I recently listened to an audiobook of one of her titles, and wasn’t wowed by it; I’d failed to realise it was the last book (of nine) in a series, but I wasn’t lost…
Watcher in the Woods is the fourth installment in Kelley Armstrong’s highly original Rockton series featuring police detective Casey Duncan and her boyfriend Sheriff Eric Dalton. The book could technically be read as a standalone, but I wouldn’t really recommend starting here since the previous entries in the series will supply readers with some much…
Narrated by Jeffrey Kafer I’m not familiar with Kaylea Cross’ work, but she’s written around forty romantic suspense novels (as far as I can tell from Amazon!) and as some are available in audio – and a friend on Goodreads recommended her stuff – I decided to pick one up and give it a go;…
Paternity Case is the third in Gregory Ashe’s series of novels featuring two detectives based in the small Missouri town of Wahredua, Emery Hazard and John-Henry Somerset. These are gritty, complex stories that are practically impossible to put down once started; the mysteries are twisty and really well-conceived but at the heart of each book…
Although I haven’t given as high grades to the books in Layla Reyne’s Trouble Brewing series as I did to some of those in her earlier Agents Irish and Whiskey one, for the most part, I’ve enjoyed the novels in spite of their weaknesses. This is primarily because I like the two principals – FBI…
Karen Rose has been on my list of auto-buy authors for the past several years. I don’t even look at the synopses of her upcoming releases before pre-ordering them. I trust her that much, and Say You’re Sorry, the first book in an all-new series, is yet another example of why I firmly believe no…
Navy SEAL to the Rescue is the first book in a new series from Harlequin ‘regular’ Tawny Weber, marking her move from the now defunct Blaze line to Harlequin Romantic Suspense. It’s a fairly predictable story that makes use of classic character-types and tropes, and yet I enjoyed it (for the most part) for what…
What Doesn’t Kill Her is the second full-length novel in Christina Dodd’s Cape Charade series which features Kellen Adams, a young woman who suffers from a year-long gap in her memory. It’s a novel that doesn’t stand at all well on its own since it’s necessary to have read Dead Girl Running in order to…
