Woman Reading  (is away exploring) | 577 comments Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead (Finlay Donovan, #2) by Elle Cosimano Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead by Elle Cosimano

While not as funny as the series' debut, it was good to catch up with Finlay and her antics.

PattyMacDotComma | 1256 comments I enjoyed Aussie investigative journo John Bailey's second outing so much, State of Fear, that I'm now reading the third one! Tim Ayliffe is an excellent writer whose characters are hunting terrorists - right now!

Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while) (sandyj21) | 5101 comments Finished the ⭐⭐.9 Outback Creed by Jonathan Macpherson Outback Creed by Jonathan Macpherson. This would make a great movie. But for me the book has a little too much action and is short on subtlety. https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...

Thomas (tom471) | 1339 comments I read My Heart Went Walking by Sally Hanan I enjoyed and rated it 3.5 stars rounded up. It is the story of an unmarried teenager in rural 1983 Ireland who refuses to give up her baby for adoption. Not a mystery, but literary fiction.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2510 comments I can now post my review of The Appeal The Appeal by Janice Hallett by Janice Hallett. This is a debut novel and its epistolary format may tempt amateur sleuths to work alongside the two junior lawyers tasked with sorting through emails, texts, newspaper clippings, social media activity, messages, letters, and police reports which make up the narrative of the book to answer the senior partner’s questions which change over time.

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

Thomas (tom471) | 1339 comments I just finished Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson It is abook of family secrets and pain, but I could not get invested in it. My review, 3.5 stars rounded up. I struggled with rounding up or down. If you like Kristin Hannah, this has some of the same themes, but not the emotional intensity. My review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Not a thriller or a mystery, but literary fiction.
Still available.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2510 comments Here is my 4 star review of Blue Fire Blue Fire (Victoria Emerson, #2) by John Gilstrap by John Gilstrap.
I’ve seen it classified as post-apocalyptic, political thriller, and action thriller among others. Those are all fitting classifications to me. It's shocking, disturbing at times, suspenseful, and definitely pulse accelerating.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2510 comments I finished The Investigator The Investigator by John Sandford by John Sandford. This is the first book in a new series by Sandford. It features Letty Davenport as the main character.

Overall, this was suspenseful, unsettling, and action packed with compelling characters that kept me turning the pages. With a heart-rending plot, exciting scenes, and fascinating story, it captivated and terrified me. It’s a great start to a series and I’m looking forward to reading more about Letty and her future assignments.
