Some of the latest Mystery and Suspense book reviews:
From Peggy
“Another murder mystery with the Women's Murder Club. Fast moving--love the short chapters.”
“Main character Thorn helps solve murder and discovers family.”
From Bridgette:
“I just love all of the #1 Ladies Detective Agency series. I feel as if I have been transported from my living room to the warm and colorful country of Botswana where the people are insightful, friendly, and interesting.”
From Margaret:
“Nina was nineteen and a change of events caused her to change her identity. Things were going fine as a mother and lawyer. Then her past catches up with her and she must risk everything to set it right.”
From Joseph:
“Another doorstop of a page-turner, but if you're reading this review, you've read all the other Clancy novels. This next episode of Junior's work with the NGO spy network group is as satisfying as the others, but the extreme portrayals of the three "liberal" characters was a bit of a turn-off.”
From Doris:
“Archaeologists from Britain working in Egypt, contending with WW1, spies, tomb raiders stabbings, shootings but always maintaining that stiff upper lip - go dig it.”
“Double dealing spies, murder, an enigma within a puzzle Warning: Attention must be paid-the Devil is in the details”
From JoAnn:
“Enjoyable story about a homicide in current day San Francisco that revolves around the discovery of an unpublished Arthur Conan Doyle manuscript. I liked the way King had a light touch on the violence and a light touch when describing gay relationships. I learned a little about antiques and the need to have items appraised. King gave enough reality to the main characters to help you see them and care about them. There was enough action to keep me interested. The only thing lacking was a stronger involvement of Kate's significant other, who seemed to be frequently ignored by Kate.”
A couple from Bonnie:
“Stuart Gorman soon learns that you can talk too much to the police after
your wife is found dead. He hires a lawyer who has never tried a murder case. All through the book you keep saying "Shut up Stuart". His faith in the judicial system is "blind", especially when he keeps saying he is innocent and that should be enough. You will enjoy this book and this author.”
