Carolyn | 2101 comments Robert Dugoni's third book in his Charles Jenkins spy thriller series The Silent Sisters (Charles Jenkins, #3) by Robert Dugoni The Silent Sisters was a great way to finish the trilogy. Lots of action, spy craft, chases, violence, torture and bad guys!

PattyMacDotComma | 820 comments I have missed Mick Herron's spies, the Slow Horses. These two novellas slot neatly into his much-loved Slough House series but can be enjoyed together without reading the rest.

The List is #2.5 and shows John Bachelor doing 'the milk run', babysitting the elderly, retired spooks. Tricky!
The List (Slough House, #2.5) by Mick Herron 4.5★ My review of The List

The Drop is #5.5 and follows the action from The List. Old-school tricks are recognised by old-school spooks!
The Drop (Slough House, #5.5) by Mick Herron 4.5★ My review of The Drop


These are also available as a single book.

Kerri_M | 790 comments I don't like to say this of one of his books, but I didn't really enjoy When You Are Mine by Michael Robotham.

For someone with her background, main character Phil was a bit dense about people, and didn't learn a thing from her mistakes throughout the book. In fact all the characters were a bit flat and one dimensional. Robotham has written some great books. Choose another one is my advice.

PattyMacDotComma | 820 comments Edgware Road by Yasmin Cordery Khan tells the story of an international banking scandal and how an English-Pakistani family living in London got caught up in it, to the point that someone ends up dead. Excellent!

Sarah | 395 comments Here's my review of The Waterhole by Aussie (WA) Author Lily Malone. For me, the jury's still out on the current trend of established romance authors turning their hand to the crime/thriller genre. This was an entertaining read.

PattyMacDotComma | 820 comments I'm really enjoying this historical mystery series by C.S. Harris, set in London in the early 1800s with England and France at war (again? still? always?). In Why Mermaids Sing, Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Lord Devlin, is investigating a murder, and then another, and then . . .
