A kidnapping and family drama

The Silent Twin (Detective Jennifer Knight Crime Thriller Series Book 3) by Caroline Mitchell

by Leave a Comment

TITLES ARE HARD TO THINK OF!  This is book three in a trilogy about Detective Jennifer Knight.  She’s a detective for Operation Moonlight, and they investigate any crime that might have a supernatural element.  I like the characters in the trilogy, but we don’t see as much of them in this book as in the earlier ones.  This story is all about the family involved in the crime Jennifer is investigating. A little nine year old twin girl goes missing and is presumed kidnapped off her farm one day.  Her twin sister potentially saw what happened, but she’s not speaking.  […]

Gideon and Sirius find a lost dog… but is the human lost too?

Lost Dog (A Gideon and Sirius Novel Book 3) by Alan Russell

by 2 Comments

This is the final book in the Gideon and Sirius series.  As I noted in my earlier G&S reviews, I love Sirius. Obviously he’s my favorite character. Gideon is OK, especially because of the way he treats all dogs. I don’t remember how this book actually started, but the action really began one night when Sirius heard a dog outside in trouble. Sirius woke up Gideon and basically dragged him outside to see what was wrong with the dog.  She had been attacked by a pack of coyotes, and it look like she had been traveling for a long time. […]

A little girl gets kidnapped, but Joe’s on the case…

Conflict of Interest (Joe Dillard #5) by Scott Pratt

by Leave a Comment

So this is book five of the Joe Dillard series.  Like I’ve said in my previous four reviews, I like the characters in these books.  Nearly immediately, we’re thrown into the story of a little girl (I think she’s 5 or 6) being kidnapped from her bed.  Joe’s wife Caroline taught the little girl in dance class for years, so she’s nearly part of the family.  As soon as they hear about the kidnapping, Caroline makes them go over to the couple’s neighborhood and look for the little girl.  Obviously they don’t find her, or it’d be a 14 page […]

A pretty good kidnapping / underground sex club / family drama murder mystery

Their Lost Daughters by Joy Ellis

by Leave a Comment

So this is book two of a series I started at book three.  I finished books three and one in CBR9, so I might as well start out CBR10 with the middle of a series!  That’s just how I roll… I continued on with this series because I like the main characters.  I probably said that in my reviews for the other two books too, but it’s true.  They’re smart, intuitive, human cops.  They make mistakes sometimes, but they’re usually right when they trust their instincts. We start out this book with a few different things going on at once.  […]

The night may be dark and full of terrors, I thought, but I’ve got a big stick.

Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch

by Leave a Comment

Ben Aaronovitch did a really smart thing with Foxglove Summer, which was to de-escalate, take it down a few notches, and bring us back to basics. I complained after Broken Homes that things were getting too complicated and also sort of repetitive. Foxglove Summer is a breath of wonderfully Peter Grant-laden fresh air. When you study Shakespeare, at some point or another, you get to the idea of the Green World. My college advisor was deeply in favor of Northrup Frye’s theory, and I have been indoctrinated for life, it would seem, because I can’t help but apply this concept […]

Definitely not The Descent

Descent by Tim Johnston

by 1 Comment

I have this tendency to add books to my audiobook queue (I use SimplyAudio because it’s cheap) without really doublechecking that they’re the correct book, which sometimes leads to a pleasant surprise but most often just leads me to a place of confusion and disappointment (aka “adulthood”). I, like many people, really enjoyed the movie The Descent and I guess when I saw this title come up on my recommended list I just assumed it was the novelization or book it was based on. It’s not. I guess it doesn’t say much for a book that the first thing I […]

Don’t read the end of this book at work… I don’t know how many times I’ve cried at work from books!!

Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight

by Leave a Comment

I could not put this book down! I read it over 3 days, and unfortunately I had to work those days, or it would’ve been 1 day! A friend from work knows I love to read. She also knows I read Gone Girl, and that I liked it. Gone Girl is actually mentioned on the front cover of this book. To me, the only similarities between Reconstructing Amelia and Gone Girl is that the stories are told by two different people, and there’s a mysterious death to figure out. The beginning of this book is told by Kate, Amelia’s mother. […]

Our Endless Numbered Days by Claire Fuller

by Leave a Comment

Peggy Hillcoat is the daughter of a famous German concert pianist and an English survivalist, who despite the disapproval of his wife keeps stockpiling supplies in a shelter in their garden and preparing for the worst. Only eight years old, she doesn’t question what is happening when her father takes her away from their big house in London while her mother is away on tour. He takes her to the German countryside, to a delapitated cabin remote in the mountains, explaining that this is their home now and that there’s been a terrible disaster, they are the only ones left […]
