I recommend this novel if you enjoy hard science fiction techno-thrillers.

This is a thought-provoking near-future Britain dystopian murder mystery.
I'm reading Off the Grid: FBI Series by Barbara Freethy. I've read six books so far. They were all good but the ones I enjoyed most were:
Book 3: Desperate Play
Book 4: Elusive Promise
I'm now starting Book 7: Critical Doubt.

My 4.72 rounded to 5 stars review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This dystopian novel included a fantastic protagonist, exciting scenes, and a shocking story kept me captivated from beginning to end. It's the third book in the series and they should be read in order.

Police procedural / crime thriller novella


https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This international crime thriller / police procedural has a twisty mystery.


https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Overall, this novel was thought-provoking and engrossing with tension that almost felt alive.


https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Overall, this is an engaging cozy mystery with humor, suspense, action, and a bit of romance. I am thoroughly enjoying this series featuring Ricki who has turned her avocation of collecting vintage cookbooks into a job by establishing a gift shop in the late home turned museum of Genevieve (Vee) Charbonnet. The shop sells vintage cookbooks and kitchenware, but there's always a mystery around this museum.

Great characterization and atmosphere were the highlights for me in this mystery. However, the pacing felt somewhat uneven with some slow spots and the ending wrapped up a little too neatly and quickly. Additionally, the suspense didn't leave me with the sense of urgency that I wanted to feel.

Ramla, I believe you enjoy some of Karen Roses's books. I recently finished Cold-Blooded Liar. It's the first in the San Diego Case Files series. I thought it was great. It will be published Feb 28th.

This near-future police procedural was a twisty tale with great characterization that kept me turning the pages.

Hey, thanks for telling me about this! Yes, I enjoy her books a lot. Really excited about the new series. I'll definitely read Cold-Blooded Liar once it's published :-)

Simon Gervais has a way of starting his novels with a shocking and powerful opening scene. Action, suspense, treachery, and intrigue keep this novel moving at a terrific pace. It has aspects of espionage, political, and military thrillers. This series is within Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne universe.


Here is my 3.98 rounded to 4 stars review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The author brings action, attraction, and suspense to a new paranormal romantic suspense urban fantasy thriller.

Alexandra Ivy deftly weaves mystery, suspense, action, and romance in the fourth book in the Pike, Wisconsin romantic suspense series. Overall, this was an intense story with likeable characters that kept me turning the pages.


https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It combines two of her earlier romantic suspense novels into this newly released book. The novels have common themes of revenge, suspense, romance, and some action as well.


https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The author brings action, suspense, and mystery to an intense story with complex characters.


https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The writing is fluid and descriptive which helped me envision the scenes without disrupting or slowing the flow. Overall, this was intriguing, entertaining, suspenseful, and had an action packed ending with compelling characters that kept me turning the pages.

Karen Rose knows how to hook readers with a prologue and keep them engaged throughout a novel. Cold-Blooded Liar , the first book in her San Diego Case Files series, is no different. It combines a police procedural with some amateur sleuthing and a hint of romantic suspense.


https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This is a delightful, charming, and fun paranormal romance with great characterization and some deeper themes woven into the novel.


My 4 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Entertaining contemporary romance....pacing was slower than I expected.


https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The story captivated me with the terrifying realism of the prologue. A twisty, deeply involved, and absorbing plot kept me engaged throughout this riveting mystery. With twists and turns, the investigation builds momentum until it peaks with an edge-of-your-seat finish.

Young adult mystery
Overall, this was intriguing, entertaining, and had an action packed ending with diverse characters. However, some of the items revealed in the interviews seemed unrealistic for adults to divulge to teenagers.
I read Dead By Midnight by Pamela Clare. It's Book #7.5 in her I-Team series. I enjoyed it a lot. Another book I very much enjoyed in this series was Book #3: Unlawful Contact.

John Sanford brings investigation, suspense, and plenty of action to the second book in the Letty Davenport series. The story is part undercover investigation and part action thriller. Sandford’s a superb storyteller who kept me on the edge of my seat as the undercover operation and action unfolded. The final action scenes are riveting and hauntingly memorable.
