PattyMacDotComma | 1260 comments Fans have been waiting a while to see what author Graham Brack's Captain Josef Slonský has been up to, and I was glad to seem him back in (limping) action in Prague, solving the case of The Murdered Molls. Crime and humour - great mix.

PattyMacDotComma | 1260 comments I liked Wild Card, the second book in the Detective Zoe Mayer series even more than the first. Aussie author Simon Rowell gives us a good story with a cross-border investigation between Victoria and New South Wales and plenty of secret alliances. Harry is back in harness, still acting to serve and protect Zoe. Good boy!
Wild Card by Simon Rowell My review of Wild Card

PamG (lynguy1) | 2538 comments Here is my 4.44 rounded to 4 stars review of The Dollmaker The Dollmaker (The Forgotten Files, #2) by Mary Burton by Mary Burton:

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

Police Procedural / Crime Thriller / Romantic Suspense
The author is a great storyteller with gripping scenes and a disturbing story intermixed with a couple trying to decide if they can reconcile and be happy together. The plot moves at a fast pace with twists and turns. The antagonist’s identity was a complete surprise to me.

Carolyn | 1630 comments Fall (Detective Harriet Foster, #2) by Tracy Clark Fall by Tracy Clark is a good police procedural of the murder of two Chicago City alderman. The finger is pointing strongly at an ex-alderman just released from jail, but is she guilty?

PamG (lynguy1) | 2538 comments Here is my 4.55 rounded to 5 stars review of Random in Death Random in Death (In Death, #58) by J.D. Robb by J.D. Robb:

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

Near-Future Police Procedural / Romantic Suspense
It is amazing that after fifty-eight books this author can still use prose to elicit a strong emotional response from readers. The novel has a deeply involved plot that is thought-provoking and tragic. Robb is an excellent storyteller who combines a creative plot with suspenseful scenes, lots of solid police investigation, and some action.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2538 comments Here is my 3.12 rounded to 3 stars review of Secretly Yours Secretly Yours (A Vine Mess, #1) by Tessa Bailey by Tessa Bailey:

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

Romantic Comedy
Opposites Attract
This is a funny and light read with several steamy scenes and well-developed characters. My main quibbles are that I wanted more tension and obstacles as well as some of the actions of Tessa were improper and unprofessional. Overall, this is an entertaining and light book, but not very memorable.

PattyMacDotComma | 1260 comments It was fun to eavesdrop on two old gentlemen comparing ghost stories from their schooldays. A School Story by M.R. James took place in 1870, but it could easily be a contemporary mystery.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2538 comments Here is my 4.07 rounded to 4 stars review of Wild Magic Wild Magic by Alexandra Ivy by Alexandra Ivy:

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

urban fantasy, paranormal mystery, paranormal romantic suspense

Overall, this novel was a fast-paced and entertaining tale with great characterization that kept me engaged throughout the story. My biggest quibble is that I wanted to know more about the Gyre. I felt the worldbuilding concerning it was insufficient.
