This week I am reading Lost, by James Patterson and James O Born. It is a great thriller that revolves around international human trafficking and is set in Miami, Florida.
Take the compassion of James Patterson’s Michael Bennett, a New York cop with ten adopted children, mixed together with the failed football career of David Baldacci’s Amos Decker, and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Det. Tom Moon.

I haven’t been enamored with some of John Grisham’s releases, but The Guardians, a legal suspense novel released in 2019 hits all of the right notes for me. It is not fast-paced, but definitely holds my interest as public defender-turned-priest-turned-innocence lawyer Cullen Post works a case to get a death-row inmates’ conviction overturned. He is working on several cases at the same time, so you get to hear a number of stories about the type of people who may end up in prison or on death row even though they are innocent.

In today’s book, The Outsider by Linda Castillo, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is snowbound in Amish country in Ohio, along with a fugitive who happens to be an old friend. While she would like to think that Gina is blameless in the situation she finds herself in, Kate knows that her friend is keeping things from her and that she cannot keep Gina’s presence from the men who are looking for her for long.
I always enjoy Linda Castillo’s Kate Burkholder series. They are warm and homey, with a sharp edge of suspense to keep you from getting too comfortable. Who knew that Amish suspense would be such a great mashup?

As you probably know, I don’t do romantic themes for Valentine’s Day. I have picked a number of different themes such as friendship and aromantic books in the past.
This year, I have decided to go with family love as a theme. I set out looking for suspenseful plots hinging on love for a sibling, parent, or other close family figure of the protagonist.

This week I am reading The Whisper Man by Alex North, and it is a chilling read. If you like that unsettling feeling that you might have left your door unlocked and there is someone out there… this should be your next read.
Good character development. The timeline is a little confusing to start out with, but it works out. Might not be the best bedtime reading…

William Kent Krueger and Cork O’Connor are new to me, but have clearly been around for a while. I have just started in on Iron Lake, and so far it is developing very nicely, with deep characterization, just the right amount of description, and the beginning of an intriguing plot. I can’t tell you much more than that right now, but I am eager to get farther into the story to see if my initial guesses about what has happened to the missing boy Paul LeBeau are correct.
