Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated Evan Blessed (Constable Evans, #9) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

It's two weeks before Evan's wedding, and he's focusing on the family dynamics this is unleashing. Then a young woman goes missing, and Evan gets involved in the hunt. Can he find her and keep peace in his family? It's always nice to visit these characters. The plot did bog down a bit in the middle, but the characters noticed and commented on the lack of progress as well. And about that point, things picked up again and raced to the finish.

Where Are You, Wilbert? by Bárdur Oskarsson is a picture book about a small gray rat and her large gray friend, Wilbert. They are playing hide-and-seek. Wilbert is tough to find, so the rat asks a crocodile for help. Together, they hunt behind every tree they can see, and finally, the rat spots Wilbert. The illustrations are strange and lovely at the same time.

While I enjoyed the book, I did find the book a bit strange and hard to follow.

I received an ARC from Owlkids books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Suspense

Detectives McCabe and Savage, in the first of this series, are on the hunt for a sick individual, murdering young healthy women and removing their hearts. After they find the body of a young missing girl, they are informed another woman has gone missing already, and the clock starts ticking... they have a week to find her and taking the killer down.

Interesting read, like the characters but would like to see more character development and the partnership between McCabe and Savage... is it sexual, friendly... it’s hard to ascertain.

Well written and gripping, finished in 24 hours.
