The Block Party
was just so so for me. My three star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Not really in the crime genre, but definitely an action packed, suspense-filled disaster novel.

Here's my 4.34 rounded to 4 stars review of An Evil Heart
by Linda Castillo:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Mystery / police procedural
Overall, this book was briskly paced, suspenseful, and gripping. This novel should delight those readers who enjoy police procedurals and mysteries that have a strong female lead character.
Very entertaining! A retired female CIA operative, who wants a second shot at being a good parent to her kids, finds herself the target of Russian assassins.

My 3 STARS review
by David Ellis.This one is hard to rate. The story is entertaining but it is predictable as long as you don't let yourself be manipulated by the author.
Este es difícil de calificar. La historia entretiene pero es predecible mientras no te dejes manipular por el autor.
I read The Well of Ice by Andrea Carter It is set in Donegal, Ireland and book 3 in the series. I have read books 1 and 2, but this could work as a stand alone.. My wife and I enjoy this series. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Gone Tonight
was an interesting take on a thriller. My four star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Murder in the Belltower by Helena Dixon, #5 in this entertaining historical cosy mystery seriesreview: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

An Evil Heart
is a strong addition to the Kate Burkholder series. My four star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Here is my 3.23 rounded to 3 stars review of Girls and Their Horses
by Eliza Jane Brazier:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This mystery was a slow-burn suspenseful read with plenty of drama as well as great characterization and world-building. However, the book moved back and forth in time and switched points of view between five characters and nine interviews with a police detective. For me, this adversely affected the flow of the novel as well as my overall enjoyment.
I read The Invisible Hour by Alice Hoffman It is literary fiction with a paranormal element. I rate it 3.5 stars rounded up. My review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I weakened and started a new (to me) series. (What was I thinking?!) Of course, I enjoyed Martin Walker's French village, so I expect to be squeezing in another visit to Bruno, Chief of Police again before too long.
4.5★ My review of Bruno, Chief of Police
The Bitter Past
combines espionage, police procedural and historical fiction. My four star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Here is my 3.28 rounded to 3 stars review of Her Dangerous Journey Home
by Lee Swanson:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Historical fiction
Overall, it was entertaining with great characterization and world-building. However, the pacing in the first half was slow and the ending left too many threads open for me. Despite this, it's still an enjoyable read that is entertaining.
Finished a powerful little novel: Waiting for Eden.

Here is my 3.78 rounded to 4 stars review of The Bone Riddle
by Sara E. Johnson:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Forensics Mystery, Police Procedural
Phenomenal world-building and diverse characterization blended with a well-written narrative making this a novel that I advanced through effortlessly. The storyline is compelling in this unsettling thriller that has some alarming moments. The author did a great job of building suspense throughout the story and weaving the threads together.
This is a powerful addition to Karin Slaughter's Will Trent series.
