Private Investigator Zachary Goldman took on the case as a favor to his ex-wife, Bridget. It should have been cut and dried. But the deeper he looks into the death of cancer patient Robin Salter, the more convinced Zachary becomes that Bridget’s suspicions were correct.

...

Hired to investigate the death of an autistic boy in a treatment facility, PI Zachary Goldman is concerned about the therapies he sees there. While he is assured that the children there are not actually being hurt, his investigation leads to the discovery of even deeper institutional abuses.

Vanna conduce una vita spensierata. Ha affrontato le sue sfide nella vita, tra cui le grandi aspettative che sua madre ha su di lei, ma, tutto sommato, ha un lavoro che adora, un hobby creativo e tanti amici. Non è di certo in cerca di complicazioni ...

This is an interesting book! The International Thriller Writers have put together FaceOff, an anthology by 23 major crime writers collaborating to bring their characters together in 11 head-to-head stories. I've enjoyed a lot of these writers and their characters, and it's been a lot of fun to see them meeting each other and interacting! ...

It's time for some sales at Kobo! If you have a Kobo reader, have a look ...

This is one book that's been on my reading list for some time. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs, has been made into a movie by Tim Burton, but I had my eye on it even before then. It is first in a series of three ...

If you hang out around here, you'll see some of the books that I'm reading on at least a weekly basis, along with a quote and what I think about it. I read several books a week, so I don't report on each one, but I pick my current read, my most favourite or most interesting recent read, and say a few words about it.  ...

Looking over my shelf, I see I actually read two David Baldacci books in the last week. I've picked Simply Genius for my excerpt today. Baldacci is the master of building suspenseful plot, and this one was no exception. I enjoyed the more diverse than usual cast, including an ex-soldier with a prosthetic limb and the murder victim's neurodiverse daughter ...

Brewing Death, book #5 of the Auntie Clem's Bakery series is now out! Join Erin and her Bald Eagles Falls family for their newest adventure ...

I mentioned The Life We Bury in my last post, and I had to bring it up again to give you a teaser. I really enjoyed this one. Faintly reminiscent of To Kill a Mockingbird, this well-woven mystery is a pleasure to read. The writer/sleuth has a complex background and a younger brother with autism. The brother is treated as a real person and not just a foil or token diverse character.  ...

I want to hear what you're reading (or planning to read) this summer! Let's get a good list going in the comments section ...

This week I am reading Scorpion Strike (A Jonathan Grave Thriller) by John Gilstrap. I don't think I've read any of the other books in the series. A hostage-taking on an idyllic island paradise quickly ramps up the tension. Lots of great characters and a good, quickly moving plot ...

It's July, and that means the second installment of Camp Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) this year. I'm 16,000 words into the third book of a new cozy mystery series. The series is a spin-off from the Auntie Clem's Bakery series, and it's been a lot of fun, so you have something new to look forward to! ...

I just finished The Yard by Alex Grecian an hour ago. I don't think I've read anything else by this author. It was an enjoyable police procedural with lots of good historical details about Victorian England. There are several intersecting plots and the identity of the killer is revealed fairly early. The character development is good and I would definitely read others in the series.  ...

It's that time of year again! Canada Day and Independence Day (and my birthday) bring free books! Gifts for everyone! ...

This is my sweet hubby's review of June & Justin, Book #2 in the Between the Cracks series.  Originally blogged at Flamestr's Thoughts. June and Justin did everything to escape from their past but to face and fight their fears ...

I just finished reading Island of Shipwrecks, book #5 of the YA Fantasy Unwanteds series by Lisa McMann. This is probably not a series that you want to jump into the middle of like I did! While there are enough clues to puzzle out the backstory, you will be missing a lot of the depth of the story and the characters. ...

Stirring Up Murder is now available! Continue reading the Auntie Clem's Bakery series and catch up with Erin, Terry, and their friends, both two-legged and four-legged ...

I can always rely on Jack Reacher to entertain me! I am reaching A Wanted Man by Lee Child, book #17 in the Jack Reacher series. The interesting thing about this book is that so far, almost all of the Jack Reacher scenes have been in the car. It's interesting how much tension  you can build with four people stuck in a car together. But then, if you've been on a family vacation, you probably already know that!  ...
