Death by Beach Read by Eva Gates, a cosy mystery I requested from Netagalley without checking if it was part of a series - it's #9 but still worked well as a stand alone, although there's clearly a lot that's happened before in this small town!review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
In Shoot to Thrill by P.J. Tracy, the FBI gives the Monkeewrench crew free rein to hack into anything anywhere to find out who is posting videos of murders in real time. What a challenge!

My review for
Murder At The Beaufort by Jill Paterson, an AA cosy mystery set in a small seaside townhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
When Blood Lies
by C.S. Harris is a very exciting addition to this excellent historical mystery series. 5★review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It's unusual to cheer for a bad guy who steals just because he's good at it, but I did find myself warming to Aussie author Garry Disher's Wyatt. Kickback is one of Disher's earliest books and the first in the Wyatt series.
4★ My review of Kickback with no spoilers
Enjoyable enough small town cozy mystery. 3 stars from 5
