Loved Body in the Marsh, really happy to see that there are follow ups now.

Where the Dead Sleep by Joshua Moehling is a very enjoyable character driven murder mystery. Set in a small town, with a very likeable deputy sheriff with a wry sense of humour. It is the second in the series but reads fine as a stand alone, although I will definitely be seeking out the first book.

I found Dark Corners by Megan Goldin about a missing social media influencer a bit slow to get started (and social influencers very annoying) but enjoyed the book more as the plot thickened.

I'll Leave You With This by Kylie Ladd ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[PattyMacDotComma]

The thriller, The Chalk Man, was a much-hyped debut by C.J. Tudor when it came out a few years ago, and today I needed a horror for a challenge. Yes, there's some creepy stuff.

Here is my 4.52 rounded to 5 stars review of Wide Awake by Steven Konkoly:

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

Political / Military Thriller

Konkoly is an outstanding storyteller who kept me on the edge of my seat with gripping scenes, action, a superb plot, and fantastic writing. His military background brings an authenticity to his thrillers. He does a great job of balancing the shocking action scenes against the intrigue of the conspiracy plot and the planning of countermeasures.

Here is my 4.5 rounded to 5 stars review of Beneath Dark Waters by Karen Rose:

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

Romantic Suspense
This is the second book in the New Orleans romantic suspense series that is also partly a police procedural and a private investigator crime novel.

The prologue immediately grabbed my attention and the story continues with action, investigation by both the police and the private investigation firm, and plenty of twists and turns. The novel builds suspense in a way that pulls readers into the lives of the characters. The plot is full of chasing down leads and interviewing people as well as plenty of danger for those involved.

[Carolyn]

The Fine Art of Uncanny Prediction is the second book in Robert Goddard's Umiko Wada series, featuring a middle aged Japanese widow who becomes a PI after the investigator she keeps office for is killed. Not a cosy mystery, the plot is quite complex but well done.

This is one for those who enjoy a high octane, fast paced thriller with a unique protagonist. It's the second in the series but is self contained and would work fine as a stand alone.

Here is my 4.21 rounded to 4 stars review of 4th of July by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro:

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

part legal thriller and part crime thriller

With the usual short chapters, this story progressed quickly with other members of the Women’s Murder Club putting in cameo appearances. It was fast-paced and filled with action. Additionally, it has a shocking twist that completely caught me by surprise.

Australians who remember the popular 1990s TV series Halifax f.p. featuring Jane Halifax, a forensic psychologist, created by Roger Simpson may be interested to know he is now writing a series of books based on that character.

Halifax: Resurrection by Roger Simpson, is the second in the series.
