Legal Thriller
6th book in the Eddie Flynn series
Compelling characters
Well-written
Tough to read at times
Corruption, racism, murder, a character's enjoyment of others' suffering

Near-future police procedural
61st book in the Eve Dallas / In Death series
Great sense of place, wonderful characters / strong female protagonist, a bit of romance


It is not an easy book to read, but informative. The author was able to interview some surviving members of the orchestra. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Romantic Suspense
Book four in the New Orleans series
Suspenseful, Intriguing, splendid setting
Pulls on the heartstrings at times


It is not a mystery, but an explanation of how Texas damaged our nation. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Psychological thriller / Domestic Suspense
Great worldbuilding
Lacked action and suspense except at the beginning and the end. Great prologue, then slow for a long time before the book picked up again.
Not really a thriller for me for most of the book, but still entertaining.
