The Dame by Richard Stark

Tricky by Josh Stallings

Quarry's Deal by Max Alan Collins

The Plea by Steve Cavanagh

February 1, 2021 by Jake Leave a Comment

I read a lot last week but also had a busy week at work (a good busy). Every time I tried to write a review on one of these books, all of them good, I just didn’t have the time or energy. So here’s a big update dump of the stuff I read in the last week and I’d be glad to tease them out more in the comments if anyone is curious… “The True History of the Kelly Gang” I enjoyed large parts of […]

Two more Joe Dillard books!

Blood Money (Joe Dillard Series Book 6) AND A Crime of Passion (Joe Dillard Series Book 7) by Scott Pratt

June 27, 2018 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

I’m writing these two reviews together, because I read the books so quickly and so close to one another! Book 6: So I got distracted by other books for a little while, but I’m back on the Joe Dillard kick!  Like I’ve said before, I like the characters.  I like his family, and I like the way he practices law.  He tried to do the right thing for good people.  In this book, he hires a new associate named Charlie.  She’s had a rough past, […]

A new Alex Delaware mystery that packs a punch

Killer by Jonathan Kellerman

May 25, 2014 by Valyruh Leave a Comment

Killer is the latest in this long-running series about child psychologist Alex Delaware, who together with his complex detective buddy Milo Sturgis, gets repeatedly embroiled in murder mysteries which Delaware’s professional insights and his friend’s finely-honed cop instincts always manage to resolve. This time, Kellerman uses the clever technique of exposing the villain right at the very beginning of his novel, when the rich and brilliant sociopath Constance Sykes threatens to kill Delaware for causing her to lose an already-doomed custody battle for her baby niece against […]
