Hi all: I keep trying to share the reviews I haven’t brought you yet, hoping that when I’ve caught up I’ll share them as I read. Let’s see. Today it’s a pretty special one, funnily by an Argentinian author whom I happened to read in translation first. Oh well… Kill the Next One by Federico Axat  (Author), David Frye (Translator).

#Bookreview Her Last Breath: A shocking psychological thriller perfect for Hitchcock fans (Detective Kerri Blasco Book 2) by J.A. Schneider (@JoyceSchneider1 ) Suspense, red herrings, and a couple of detectives to keep an eye on.
