I can now post my review of The Wrong Woman
by Leanne Kale Sparks. This is an intense, suspenseful, and engaging debut novel featuring FBI Special Agent Kendall Beck and Denver police detective Adam Taylor.My 4 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Finished the ⭐⭐⭐.5
Prose and Cons by Wendy Corsi Staub and I am looking forward to reading more in this series. https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
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! 
4.5★ Link to my review of State of Fear
Finished the ⭐⭐.9
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/...https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Finished the ⭐⭐.8
Boy Underground by Catherine Ryan Hyde This was a disappointing read for me. https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
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.

I can now post my review of The Appeal
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...
Finished the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Past Life by David Mark.This is a gripping book that, although it is part of a series, can easily be read as a stand-alone. https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Finished the ⭐⭐⭐.6
The Girl Upstairs by Georgina Lees This is a good character driven debut novel, and I will certainly be reading Lees next book. https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/... https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I don't read many spy thrillers, but I'd pretty much read anything by Robert Dugoni.
The Silent Sisters is the 3rd Charles Jensen book.. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
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.

Here is my 4 star review of Blue Fire
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.

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