I’ve read this author but this was the first true crime I think I’ve read by my. It’s a hard read simply because it’s stark in the telling and gruesome in the truth of the realities. Having survived a couple of “Shelly”s in my life it brought me several times to the point of not wanting to continue. The book is well written but the topic and content are painful and brutal. If you have experienced … [Read More...]
The Housemaid
The description "Thriller" is right on! From the first page to the last, I was completely engrossed in this novel. The twists and turns are completely unexpected and I could hardly wait for the next one. Ms. McFadden has crafted a tale of evil that keeps you guessing. As soon as I felt I knew one character intimately, the story would take a turn that left me totally in the dark. This story is told … [Read More...]
A Book Club to Die For (A Beloved Bookroom Mystery 3)
This book is a variation on the locked room mystery, and I have come to realize how much I enjoyed those added twists to the story. A couple of things were obvious early on, but overall, this was still a compelling mystery with suspects strong enough to keep you engaged. The series regulars are all here and are fantastic as well. There are some regulars who can get annoying, but they were kept in … [Read More...]
Long Shadows (Memory Man Series Book 7)
I like reading mystery, detective novels and I tend to attach myself to characters. For some reason, I really like Amos Decker, the Memory Man. I like the way he thinks and methodically discovers ‘who done it’. I also like the way he interacts with his partners. I am an introvert so I understand his thoughts. I also like David Baldacci’s writing style. I especially like the short chapters. I can … [Read More...]

Abandoned in Death
This started slowly for me. But Nora pulled me in as she does. It is a heart wrenching story, but I am pretty sensitive; maybe over sensitive. The regular (and often lovable) cast of characters are here and others we see now and then. I don't know if this is as enjoyable a read as a standalone. Having read the entire series from its onset and sometimes reread, there is a depth of knowledge and … [Read More...]
The Big Fear
I found this a brilliantly thought out plot, with gritty realism and imperfect characters. The big fear is that it is all quite terrifyingly plausible. My only criticism is that like so many crime thrillers, the carefully built climax is thrown away just a little too quickly, and there are just a few too many criminal coincidences hung around the necks of the perpetrators. This is just a very … [Read More...]
