This is a combined review because I had the pleasure of reading the first 2 books in this series. Are you a Veronica Mars fan? If so, then Clara Young will be right up your alley. Young, and growing up in an atmosphere of police procedure, she has a good idea of how to approach … Continue reading Clara Young Series: Book 1 – The Murder In Stall #4 and Book 2 – The Murder in the Precinct by Renee Marski
Mystery
Looking For Laura (A Tracey Marks Mystery) by Ellen Shapiro
Bursting into the mystery genre, this PI/New Author has started an intriguing series with an independent female PI. Learning that the author is a “real” PI in New York, put this book at the top of my reading list. With a great main character, Tracey, I was quickly pulled into the PI world and Tracey’s … Continue reading Looking For Laura (A Tracey Marks Mystery) by Ellen Shapiro
The Calling Card Murders By Kathleen Lopez
I finished reading this book over a week ago but have been rewriting this review since then. Let me start by saying this is a very well developed story and the characters were relatable and believable. The main plot of an author’s work turning into real life experiences has been written before but Ms. Lopez … Continue reading The Calling Card Murders By Kathleen Lopez
Chattanooga Choo Choo: An Electric Eclective Book by Elizabeth Horton-Newton
This novella appears to be a sweet tale of a murder (or two) on a train ride. After receiving this book as part of my VIP bag at the now Orlando Book Fest (was Indies Book Fest) I put it on my reading stack and gave it little thought. However, on a recent between book … Continue reading Chattanooga Choo Choo: An Electric Eclective Book by Elizabeth Horton-Newton
Substitute Soloist – An Andy Veracruz Mystery Book 4 by D. R. Ransdell
Having recently finished the third in this series I happily jumped into #4. I have read this whole series, and while the first three were somewhere slightly above a Cozy in the mystery department, this book is solidly in the Mystery genre. The author has added a lot of depth to not only the main … Continue reading Substitute Soloist – An Andy Veracruz Mystery Book 4 by D. R. Ransdell
Dizzy In Durango: An Andy Veracruz Mystery #3 by D. R. Ransdell
I met this author a couple of years ago at the Tucson Festival of Books – her smile pulled me to the booth, but her main character, Andy keeps me coming back for more reads. It’s been a while since I read a book in one day. Yesterday was a rare day off for me, … Continue reading Dizzy In Durango: An Andy Veracruz Mystery #3 by D. R. Ransdell
The Arms of Death (Loch Lonach Mystery Series: Book One) By Maggie Foster
Not what I expected in a good way. The genre stated Medical Fiction or Amature Sleuths. However, I see it more like an intense, above the norm cozy. There are characters you can wrap your brain around, modern issues, and occurrences with a touch of Old World charm. This book had enough science (easily explained), … Continue reading The Arms of Death (Loch Lonach Mystery Series: Book One) By Maggie Foster
The Elizabeth Street Epiphany (Book 4) by Aaron S Gallagher
Today is the day – RELEASE DAY for Book 4 of the Bennett & DeMarko series – and I have been not so patiently waiting!! I have had the pleasure of reading all of this series and was so happy to see this one finally released. Book 3 left the reader hanging in a major … Continue reading The Elizabeth Street Epiphany (Book 4) by Aaron S Gallagher
A Death at Camp David by Harry A. Milman
Here is the 8th genre winner for the category of Thrillers in the Book Talk Radio Club Awards. There are a lot of questions in this book, which I think is a sign of a good mystery. Can a self-described suave toxicologist and a slovenly private investigator find out … Continue reading A Death at Camp David by Harry A. Milman
The Gilded King (Sovereign #1) by Josie Jaffrey
If you want to get totally lost in a book, this would be a good one to jump into. There are several main characters and all of them are very well developed. There are several plot lines running concurrently and they are also well developed. And that’s not all as there are several subplots that … Continue reading The Gilded King (Sovereign #1) by Josie Jaffrey
