A Banquet of Consequences is not the first Elizabeth George mystery I have read this year. It is part of the Inspector Lynley series, though I haven't heard much from Lynley yet! I am not too far into the book yet, and am interested in seeing how the suicide and the investigation end up being connected. Elizabeth George builds unique, well-rounded characters.  ...

I've read a few of Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware series over the past year, and have enjoyed them very much. I love the mixture of psychology and mystery. Alex Delaware is a great psychologist with a big heart. I'm just about through this one, as all of the pieces are coming together, but I still don't know what he is going to find out about the missing boy… ...

I just started this mystery/suspense today, and it's kept my attention so far! All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda starts at the end and works its way back to the disappearance/murder of Annaleise, the second girl to go missing from amongst a group of friends, the first of whom disappeared a decade before. It is clear from the beginning that everyone knows more than they have revealed, but they're not giving up their secrets easily ...

But Bella really needs her; how could an old woman just have gone missing without anyone following up on it? ...

This is the second week in a row that I'm not using the Amazon synopsis for my spotlight. The Amazon sales copy was pitiful, so I have quoted from Bookbrowse. My teaser this week is from This Body of Death, An Inspector Lynley Novel, by Elizabeth George. It is a police procedural with lots of twists and turns, and I am still trying to figure out how the two disparate timelines are going to connect up.  ...

I am pleased to announce the release of Vanishing Teardrops, book #4 in the Tamara's Teardrops series! Hold onto your hats, because this is going to be a wild ride! ...

Here is a thriller that I picked up recently. You wouldn't guess from the synopsis on Amazon that The Breach by Patrick Lee is science fiction; I have used a description from tor.com down below to give you a better idea! It is a good ride, with some interesting time travel paradox twists and turns and a cliffhanger ending. But you will find a hero who is not your typical good guy.  ...

I've read a number of James Patterson's Michael Bennett series, but this is the first time I've read the first in the series, Step on a Crack (Michael Bennett). Lots of action and tension, as Michael Bennett is simultaneously dealing with a hostage situation and caring for his ten children while his wife is dying in the hospital. I anticipated the twist, but it was still a great book! ...
