My review for

My review of Ellery A. Kane's new release, Her Perfect Bones (Rockwell & Decker #2). This was a well-plotted mystery-thriller straddling the police procedural and psychological sub-genres. Set in picturesque northern coastal California.

I'm reading
. Oswald is one of my favourite thriller/police procedure writers, along with Stuart MacBride
My review for
In the Clearing, the third book in Robert Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite police procedural series, where Tracy is asked to review the evidence for a 40y old murder as well as investigate a domestic shooting where all might not be as the scene suggests.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Heartstone is the fourth in the excellent Matthew Shardlake historical mystery series set in King Henry VIII's very bloody England. Author C.J. Sansom seems to know his stuff (excuse the academic terminology) about the wars of the time.
3.5~4★ Link to my Heartstone review
I finally read the first book of the much-loved Monkeewrench mystery series by mother-daughter duo P.J. Tracy. People and plot were every bit as good as I was told. I'm delighted there are more!
