Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2430 KP) rated Too Rich and Too Dead (Murder Packs a Suitcase, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Travel reporter Mallory Marlowe is off to Aspen, Colorado, to write an article aimed at non-skiers. Part of it will focus on former high school acquaintance Carly, founder of a fancy resort. But when Carly is murdered, Mallory finds herself investigating that as well. This is the second book in the series, and I enjoyed it as much as the first thanks to the real characters and strong plot. I'm going to have to start reading the author's other series.

Kristy H (1252 KP) rated Bootlegger's Daughter (Deborah Knott Mysteries, #1) in Books
Feb 13, 2018
Not a classic, but certainly an enjoyable mystery novel. First in a rather large series (up to 12 books now, I think) featuring Deborah Knott. Deborah, the so-called bootlegger's daughter, is an attorney in a small North Carolina town. As often happens in such series, crime seems to follow her wherever she goes. In this book, she looks to solve a cold case murder that occurred when she was very young... and her investigation leads to several more deaths.
Margaret Maron's books are quite engaging and fun-to-read... I blew through this book in a few days.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2430 KP) rated His Majesty's Hope (Maggie Hope Mystery, #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Maggie is dropped in Nazi Germany to plant a bug in her mother's house - the mother she thought was dead. But along the way, she'll meet her half sister and get caught up in the horrors of Germany in 1941. As always with the series, I was pulled into another time and place with very real characters while I was reading. A few flaws (same ones as the two previous in the series), but for the most part I enjoyed this book.

Sue (5 KP) rated A Village Shattered (Logan & Cafferty, #1) in Books
Aug 13, 2018
While the book had a good plot and kept you guessing as to who done it, I found the chapters a bit choppy. There didn't seem to be a transition from one scene to another, which made me have to re-read sections to see if I missed a page somewhere. There were also a lot of characters to try to follow and no real introduction to them. This is the first book in the series and I am told that they get better, so I am willing to read the second in the series as the first one wasn't totally bad.
Alicia S (193 KP) rated Entangled (Angel's Halo MC, #2) in Books

Flew right through another one! LOVING this series and I can't finish one fast enough to get to the next. :) One of my favorite aspects of this book is that we get to follow everyone's story... and I'm loving every one of them!? These are some tough MC's guys, yet they all have a genuine soft spot for the women in their lives and while they all struggle with their own relationship drama, you know they are genuine and you can have faith that all will work out. One day read. LOVE this series- Highly recommended!! Onto Book #3!!
Deborah (162 KP) rated Rules of Engagement (Sir John Fielding, #11) in Books
Dec 21, 2018
Picked up eight of this 11 part series in a second hand bookshop in Hay for £1 each, so quite a bargain! Generally enjoyed the series overall. This is the last book and it sounds like the author died before finishing, but left plot notes. It does feel as though the ending is by someone different. On the plus side they correctly use 'kerb' for the edge of the pavement (although this isn't corrected in the early part of the book oddly) but the ending feels a bit unsatisfactory for the main plot and also a bit too soppy and sentimental.

Tom Turner (388 KP) rated Holy Sister (Book of the Ancestor, #3) in Books
Apr 30, 2021
Well, that's definitely going to stay with me for quite some time. There are definer some aspects of the ending of the Book of the Ancestors trilogy that my brain is still trying to compute, but the weird thing is, I don't see that as a negative as I might have done with another book or series. I think this is because everything in this series was so character driven I can't imagine it happening any other way. Mark Lawrence deftly skims not falling into clichés, which is so easy when it comes to ending a Saga. Absolutely brilliant! Bravo!
