Blood on the Tongue is the third book by the British mystery author Stephen Booth. First, let me tell you that this is not a fast-paced story like we’re used to reading from American authors. In this respect it is a typical British mystery where the pace is very slow with lots of descriptions which in…
Hidden is a standalone mystery by Thomas Hall and it’s the first book by this author I’ve read so far. Jonathan Allen is having a tough year. Just a few months before his wife was murdered under mysterious circumstances, and now he has to raise his 6 year old son, Eric, on his own. And…
Cut to the Bone is the latest offering in the Body Farm series, however, it is also the very first book in the chronological order set in the early 90s. If you want to read the Jefferson Bass books in order – in the proper chronological order, you should start with this book.While the rest…
Hostage by Kay Hooper is the 14th book in the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit mystery series. I’ve read all books (except Haven, which is book #13 and one of my next reads) and I was a major fan of the Kay Hooper books ever since I read her first mystery novel, Stealing Shadows, back in 2000….
Alternate Currents is the 4th book in the Darcy Farthing mystery series by the author Arleen Alleman. This is the first book I’ve read in the series, which is quite unusual for me. However once I started reading it, I soon realized that it can be read as a standalone novel as well. There are…
Clinical Trials by Daniel Steven is a surprisingly good legal thriller from the late 1990s. I used to read legal mysteries and thrillers back in the day, but then my tastes changed a bit and I haven’t read a book in this genre in quite some time. As I’ve been reading lots of books on…
Deadly Ambitions is a relatively short novella (under 100 pages) in the Jenkins & Burns cozy mystery series by Laura Bradford. I always enjoyed reading her books and I’ve actually read all previous 3 books in this series without realizing that they are part of a series. I’ve read them several years apart from each other,…
Resolutions by Teri Riggs is a fun first novel in the Honor Guard series. A typical steamy romantic suspense, a genre that I love reading now and then, features the hot alpha male Mac (Dillon McKenna) and Eve Taylor, who get together again to save their country and each other as well. Eve and Mac…
Judas Goat – The Kennet Narrow Boat Mystery by Patrick Brigham is one of the two mystery novels published by the author this year. When I have received a request to review the book and also interview the author, I agreed for a couple of reasons. While the author was born in England, he has…
What a wonderful book this was! I finished reading Phoenix Island by John Dixon in one afternoon over the weekend. It was so good, I couldn’t put it down. It is one of those stories that will haunt you long after you’ve read it, and it pops up in your head at the most unusual…
