This was a NetGalley Read Now. It's a beautifully told story of friendship, loyalty, and the ugly side of human nature: prejudice, ignorance, and war. 5 stars for Boy Underground

Here is my 5 star review of Dark Night by Paige Shelton.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

This is the third book in the Alaska Wild Mysteries series. It's a well-written mystery novel that combines traditional police detective work and amateur sleuthing. Secrets, murder, and a horrific experience that continues to haunt and traumatize the main character make for a suspenseful and riveting read. The author does a great job of portraying the hardships and lack of amenities as well as the friendships, pace of life, the wonders, and the dangers of living in and around small town Alaska.

[PattyMacDotComma]

The thriller Falling, by T.J. Newman, has attracted a lot of fans, and I can see why. It would make a terrific movie or mini-series. A terrible dilemma, lots of tension, and some good characters.

Sorry forgot to add on here so copied my own review to add here.




Firstly of course, thank you to Net Galley, the publishers and the author for an ARC copy for my honest review.

Warrior: Audrey Hepburn completes the story arc of Robert Matzen's Dutch Girl: Audrey Hepburn and World War II. Hepburn's experiences in wartime, including the murder of family members, her survival through combat and starvation conditions, and work on behalf of the Dutch Resistance, gave her the determination to become a humanitarian for UNICEF and the fearlessness to charge into war-torn countries in the Third World on behalf of children and their mothers in desperate need. She set the standard for celebrity humanitarians and--according to her son Luca Dotti--ultimately gave her life for the causes she espoused.

Robert Matzen has in this book gone deeper than any other book on the great actress Audrey Hepuburn, his incredible research, studies, interviews must have been enormous.

We know from his previous books, and on other authors biographies the history of her story, her incredibly sad and shocking childhood and here in this book her strength, power, determination with her work for UNICEF.

This book although heavy and slow reading in parts what it does show is the chaos in Audrey Hepburn's life, country to country seeing so much poverty throughout the world, this to me is what stands out in this book. Audrey's determination in sharing her knowledge to the world!

I belief very much like the author the sights and poverty that Audrey experienced were shocking, and as she said to a friend "Sometimes I do not sleep at night", that is a lot of package to carry around your shoulders later in your life and I am sure effected her health.

Audrey was truly a "warrior", faced the toughest battle of all, her health. Fighting against severe pains flying worldwide to promote UNICEF, going to Somalia when she should have been thinking of her own health and wellbeing.

A brave, courageous, talented, loved woman. A star, a hero, a woman to be remembered for her film work but more for her work for UNICEF. Thank you

I was delighed to enjoy watching Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club solve the mystery of The Man Who Died Twice. It's every bit as good as their first outing, I reckon!

I can now post my review of Getaway With Murder by Diane Kelly. This is the first book in the Mountain Lodge (Cozy) Mystery series. The setting was perfect for this novel and Ms. Kelly does a great job of transporting readers to the mountains of North Carolina. I was immediately drawn into the Misty’s life and enjoyed the unraveling of the mystery and the development of friendships. In both of the books I have read by this author, I had a connection with the writing style that I found relatable, vivid, and irresistible.

Here is my review for One More Kill by Carolyn Arnold. Carolyn Arnold brings depravity, action, and pulse-pounding moments to a gripping crime thriller and police procedural. The setting is mainly in and around Huntsville, Arkansas and is the ninth book in the Brandon Fisher FBI series.

The Rowland Sinclair historical mystery series is terrific. He and friends travel around the world "between the wars" (WWI & WWII), chasing Nazis, dodging gangsters, mixing with the rich and famous (which Rowly is himself). Cameos: JFK, Errol Flyyn, F. Scott Fitzgerald among others.

I finished These Deadly Games by Diana Urban. This is a standalone YA psychological thriller that is suspenseful, shocking, and pulls on your heart strings with a high stakes and twisty story line.

My 4 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[PattyMacDotComma]

Not a thriller in the conventional sense, but there are mysteries about our memories here.

Don't forget to remember! Having said that, you're probably remembering it all wrong anyway.

Neuroscientist Lisa Genova has got it all covered in Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting, which explains a lot about why we argue about memories and worry about dementia.

Interesting, easy read and excellent resource.

Now that my review publishing requirements have been met, I can post it here. I finished a crime thriller / police procedural that was shocking, suspenseful, and heartbreaking at times.

The Chaos Kind by Barry Eisler

This combines characters from his two other most popular series. As this is the first thing I've read from this author, I can easily report that it works fine as a standalone. Spies on spies action.
