Power Play by Rachel Dylan

Power Play by Rachel Dylan

Power Play is the third installment in Rachel Dylan’s Capital Intrigue series which follows the dangers and romances of characters from several US government agencies. The novel follows two pairs of investigators as they untangle murders with international consequences. The plot contains interesting twists and turns but lacks the edgy suspense I expected. I have…

Misdirection by Gregory Ashe

Misdirection by Gregory Ashe

Note: There are spoilers for earlier Borealis Investigations books in this review. I suppose I should have expected, after the relatively light-hearted comedic zany-ness of Indirection, that Gregory Ashe would immediately turn around and pull the rug out from under my feet… which is exactly what he does in this second book in his Borealis:…

Nothing But Good by Kess McKinley

Nothing But Good by Kess McKinley

Given its polished writing and confident authorial voice, I’d have been hard pressed to guess that Nothing But Good is Kess McKinley’s first published book.  It’s a very promising début; a strongly written, well-paced mystery/procedural with a touch of romance set in Boston that revolves around the search for a serial killer who has been…

Drown Her Sorrows by Melinda Leigh

Home by Dark by Marta Perry

Home by Dark by Marta Perry

I’m not sure I’d call Home by Dark an Amish romance, but it’s definitely Amish-adjacent. The book is set in Pennsylvania Amish Country, where the author is from, and like the her, many of the characters have Pennsylvania Dutch roots. I tend to be wary of Amish books, but I did like the setting in…
