Track Her Down by Melinda Leigh

Track Her Down by Melinda Leigh

by 1 Comment

I always love the Bree Taggart series, but this one just didn’t do it for me. I think because the ultimate reveals just didn’t make a lot of sense and felt like they came out of nowhere and in the end I just wasn’t left with a good feeling like I usually am in the series. “Track Her Down” follows Bree and Matt as they work what looks like a home invasion gone wrong. However, the two of them quickly realize something bigger may be […]

The Wedding People by Alison Espach

The Wedding People by Alison Espach

Not a lot to say about this one. I really enjoyed it. I didn’t care for Espach’s other book, but she managed to hit the perfect combination of drama, comedy, and even hints of romance throughout the book. I really felt for the main character of Phoebe Stone who is still reeling after her husband left and divorced her two years earlier. Watching her slowly come awake due to the insanity of the wedding and all of the people she meets was very good. And […]

The Wrong Sister by Claire Douglas

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.  This wasn’t anything too surprising in the end. I just thought there were way too many plot holes to be believed and the ending was a letdown. I thought that the main character, Tasha, was written inconsistently. And per usual, writers make it seem like the police are just going to hard shrug about murders and let them go, especially when there’s enough evidence to make you go, […]

The Bachelorette Party by Camilla Sten

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. You would think a locked room mystery (an island cut off from everything except by boat or ferry) would be my jam, but this was boring and at times defied any type of logic. I think jumping around the timelines didn’t help either. All in all, just a snooze. “The Bachelorette Party” takes place off the coast of Sweden. During timeline one, we have four friends–Tilly, Anna, Linnea […]

The Lost House by Melissa Larsen

Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I was so hopeful on this one, but the book falls apart before it even gets going and the ending had me going okay then. I liked the idea of the Agnes going to Iceland to see if she can figure out what happened to her grandfather’s wife and daughter, but it was so hamfisted and it just didn’t work. I am realizing that maybe it would have been […]

It’s been so much fun re-reading the earlier In Death books this year. I am going to post reviews of the ones that I never did again next year as well. I can’t get to my bookcases right now (burst pipe, room if back together thankfully, but contractors still need to paint and put my stuff back where it was) so these are the only ones that I had sitting around upstairs that I had access to. And some where on my Kindle., I realized […]
