PamG (lynguy1) | 2510 comments Here is my 4.13 rounded to 4 stars review of The Night Collector by Victor Methos:

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

Legal / Crime Thriller
2nd book in the Vegas Shadows series
Well-crafterd plot, great characterization, suspenseful
Investigation and Trial
I didn't like the ending. The case is solved, but there's a major situation that is left up in the air. Otherwise, this would have been a 5-star read for me.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2510 comments Here is my 3.10 rounded to 3 stars review of The Salvage by Anbara Salam:

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

Literary Gothic Historical Fiction
This didn't feel like horror to me although others have categorized it as such.
This is great world-building and atmosphere.
I wanted more suspense and danger and a faster pace. It was extremely slow.

Carolyn | 1617 comments My Husband's Wife by Carla Kovach My Husband's Wife by Carla Kovach sounded like a great premise for a psychological suspense and although it started strongly, I was disappointed by its overall execution.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2510 comments Here is my 3.98 rounded to 4 stars review of The Tourists by Christopher Reich:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Political / Espionage Thriller
2nd book in the Mac Dekker series
Entertaining thriller
Race against the clock
Plenty of twists and turns
Flashbacks help readers understand what has transpired but adversely affected the flow for me.

PattyMacDotComma | 1251 comments I am a card-carrying fan of Mick Herron's Slow Horses series, and the latest instalment, Clown Town, is terrific! He's such a good writer. This one has real spies, failed spies, and blackmailing pensioner spies.

Carolyn | 1617 comments Please Don't Lie (Crystal River, #1) by Christina Baker Kline Please Don't Lie by Christina Baker Kline & Anne Burt is a slow burn of a psychological suspense. Set in an isolated mountain location, it's eerie and unsettling, but the ending seemed rushed after a slow build up.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2510 comments Here is my 4.39 rounded to 4 stars review of The Iron Storm by Jack Du Brul:

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

Historical Mystery and Action Thriller
15th book in the Isaac Bell series
Overall, this is a briskly paced and entertaining page-turner that kept me engaged throughout the suspenseful, intriguing, and high stakes historical thriller. The book was terrific and transported this reader into the dark and terrifying world of a historical war. It was a rich assortment of history, politics, espionage, and war brought together with great world-building and an action-filled plot.
The Iron Storm (Isaac Bell #15) by Jack Du Brul
