I’ve heard a lot about Joyce and Jim Lavene, as they have written several books so far, and they are constantly included in my monthly book releases lists with yet something else they have written month by month, so I’ve finally decided to take the plunge and pick up one of their books. In fact I…
Framed and Burning is the second book in the Dreamslippers series by the author Lisa Brunette. I haven’t read the first book in the series, so I was a bit reluctant to pick this book up, however once I’ve started reading, I realized I needn’t have worried, as the book can be easily read as a…
The Night Charter by Sam Hawken is a fun and entertaining book which I’ve read quite fast. It did help that it’s an action packed adventure-crime mystery novel, where the suspense is present every step of the way. Camaro Espinoza has a boat called Annabel which she uses to run charter catch-and-release fishing trips off the…
A Curious Beginning is the first book by Deanna Raybourn in the Veronica Speedwell historical crime mystery series. It’s been a while since I’ve read this book – back in August during my summer holidays, but several books which I had to read and review from before took chronological priority. Finally here I am, putting my thoughts on…
Innocent Blood is the second book in The Order Of The Sanguines series by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell.

Daughter of Egyptian immigrants, she is living with her father in Philadelphia now that her mother has passed away. She is a Muslim police officer, a fact which plays a main part…
The 15th book in the acclaimed Pendergast thriller series by the author duo Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, called Crimson Shore, delivered everything we’ve come to expect from the series and left us wanting for more. Special Agent Pendergast does not do freelance work involving private cases and he is very clear about that. However, even he…
I picked up The Collector by Anne-Laure Thiéblemont because the blurb mentioned it is a thriller set in the art world, which is a sub-genre I enjoy reading every now and then. This world is full of shady ‘experts’ who steal, plunder and sometimes even kill others to get their greedy little hands on valuable artifacts, so I knew I would…
Humber B Boy a book that stayed long with me after I’ve read it. However it is also a book where I took my time before deciding to finally review it because it’s an incredibly sad story about a lost boy who had everything going against him right from the start. Cate Austin, the probation…
Finally! The second book in the Pen Wilkinson series, Windfall, is here. When I’ve first read Downfall last year, I was not even sure there would be a sequel, but luckily the author didn’t disappoint his readers. Pen Wilkinson is a paraplegic. She is also a lawyer, and darn good at her job. In her…
