I finished The Girl Who Survived: A Riveting Novel of Suspense with a Shocking Twist by Lisa Jackson
Not so riveting as I hoped for: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This is a gem that I came across on this group, only to discover that it had been on my to-read list for a long time. I finally got around to it.
My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Polar Vortex
was a great mix of survival story and political thriller. My four star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I read A Great Reckoning by Louise Penny It is book 12 in an excellent series that both my wife and I enjoy. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Here is my 3.49 rounded to 3 stars review of The Wild Girls
by Phoebe Morgan:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This psychological thriller was atmospheric and thought-provoking. If you enjoy locked-room thrillers, then this may be one you will enjoy.
I really enjoyed Kate Atkinson's delightful romp through the London underworld of the roaring 20s

Here is my 3.66 rounded to 4 stars review of Misfit
by Elle Kennedy:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This is a new adult novel full of angst and drama. There are plenty of secrets, unlawful activities, bullying, romance, and spicy scenes woven into the story as well as how grief affects different people.
The Angel Maker
is one more reason I need to steer clear of thrillers for a while. My (generous) three star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Here is my 4.03 rounded to 4 stars review of Sisters of the Lost Nation
by Nick Medina:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The author has crafted a novel filled with native folklore interwoven with a coming-of-age story and a riveting and all-too-real mystery. Overall, this amazing, memorable, and emotional debut novel is a powerful and vivid page-turner with great world-building details and tension.
I finished The Last Passenger by Will Dean
A rollercoaster of a story and fully worth the five stars: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Here is my 3.16 rounded to 3 stars review of The Secret Service of Tea and Treason
by India Holton:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
India Holton blended historical fantasy, romantic comedy, and espionage. Overall, this memorable and funny novel has adventure, romance, a mystery, and plenty of excitement. My biggest quibble was that there were times when the story was more “telling” than “showing”. While the book is somewhat over the top, it also has more depth than one might expect with the level of romantic comedy involved.
I read Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens It is a coming of age story and a mystery, set on the the North Carolina coast. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This book may not be for everyone due to explicit scenes and language, but for those who love T.J. Klune's writing, it is quite a saga.Wolfsong

Close Her Eyes by Lisa Regan, is another good mystery in her Josie Quinn series, although a bit too complex to be my favourite. review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Here is my 4.65 rounded to 5 stars review of Breakneck
by Marc Cameron:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Marc Cameron has created another action-packed, suspenseful, and shocking crime thriller in this fifth book in the Arliss Cutter series. This tense, exciting, gripping, and high-octane book takes readers on an emotional rollercoaster.
If John Boyne had invented all of this, people might say it's too far-fetched, but, in fact, Crippen is based on a true story. A creepy 'doctor' and a curious tale.
3.5~4★ My review of Crippen
Fractured Oak is an unusual and entertaining mystery with an oak tree as a key witness who can't testify. Author Dannie Boyd mixes magical realism with a good police story and it works.
3.5~4★ My review of Fractured Oak
I finished Make Me Clean by Tina Baker
Totally worth reading! https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I am adoring the DC Smith series. The sixth, The Rags of Time
, is a strong addition. My four star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Here is my 4.5 rounded to 5 stars review of Loving the Wolf: A Fated Mates Romance by Paige Tyler:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Paranormal romantic suspense
Overall, this book is emotionally-charged, full of danger, and intense; with a terrific romance and nonstop action.
I read The Wind Knows My Name by Isabel Allende I enjoyed it and recommend it to fans of the author and historical fiction fans. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Scottish Ladies' Detective Agency by Lydia Travers is a delightful start to a new cosy series set in early 20th century Scotland.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Aussie author Garry Disher can make even a bad guy (and Wyatt IS a bad guy) a compelling protagonist. Paydirt is #2 in the series, but would be a good read on its own. Clever plot and dodgy characters.
4★ My review of Paydirt
Here is my 4.66 rounded to 5 stars review of Forgotten War
by Don Bentley:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This fourth book in the Matt Drake thriller series has an intensity that few writers can achieve. Overall, this fantastic novel is shocking, emotionally-charged, and riveting. Be aware that there is plenty of danger, death, intrigue, and violence in this story.
Here is my 3.73 rounded to 4 stars review of Rogue Rogue by Elle Kennedy: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This is a new adult novel full of angst and drama. There are plenty of secrets, unlawful activities, bullying and romance in this second book of the series. Once again, there are cliffhanger threads.
