It can be hard to find an author who writes the perfect blend of danger, suspense, and romance, but Lisa Jackson has managed to do just that with her latest release Paranoid. I haven’t read many of her books, but after reading this one I’m ready to hunt down some of her backlist. Rachel Gaston…
A Grave End is the fourth – and possibly final? – book in Wendy Roberts’ series of suspense novels featuring Julie Hall, a young woman who has the ability to locate dead bodies using a pair of dowsing rods. Julie is a complex, prickly character; an alcoholic in recovery, she’s the survivor of a particularly…
Detective Chief Superintendent Frankie Sheehan grew up in Clontarf, Ireland – a fairly quiet suburb of Dublin. These days, it’s most famous for having a castle, a pretty good whiskey distillery, and there was a pretty significant battle there in 1014, but other than that? In our story, the most recent thing to put it…

They’re sitting on the porch swing, taking in the beauty of the summer night. Emmy is relaxing…
This fifth book in Melinda Leigh’s series about defence attorney Morgan Dane, her partner – PI Lance Kruger – and his boss and their mutual friend Lincoln Sharp, focuses on a tautly written mystery plot involving a murder and a missing teen while also taking an insightful look at the challenges of parenting young children…
It’s hard when a book turns out to be something completely different from the one you were expecting. I picked up The Woman Inside, the début novel from author E.G. Scott, thinking it was a domestic thriller featuring a husband and wife who commit crimes together, but that wasn’t at all what it turned out…
Dear readers, may I rant a bit? I have a bee in my bonnet about this book and the way it’s being marketed. I’d like to quote one of the official blurbs for this book. See below: On their first date back in law school, Natalie and Will Clarke bonded over drinks, dinner and whether…
“Last night, Rebekah tried to murder me again,” begins Lisa Gabriele’s modernized retelling of Daphne DuMaurier’s Rebecca. It’s not quite as catchy as “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again,” but then, what could be?
