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.

Look Closer by David Ellis 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.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2533 comments Here is my 3.23 rounded to 3 stars review of Girls and Their Horses Girls and Their Horses by Eliza Jane Brazier 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.

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.

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.
