TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Chasing the White Lion (Talia Inger, #2) in Books
Feb 24, 2021
I truly Enjoyed this captivating story!!
This is my first book by James R. Hannibal, and I hope that it is not my last one. I put him on par with DiAnn Mills and Lynette Eason in the mystery and suspense genre. Chasing the White Lion is the second book in his Clandestine Service Series, it can be read as a standalone. However, I have the first book on order already

WOW
Wow. Just wow. This book had me on a ride from the toothpaste beginning all the way to the end. I couldn't put it down. It had me laughing, crying, biting my nails, and saying 'wait, what?' 'OMG' 'WHAT?' and a noncoherent mumble of words. It was exactly what I needed and had no idea I needed it. 'I can't wait to read the next book.

I generally find thrillers slightly disappointing and somewhat predictable but I found Before I Go To Sleep an enjoyable exception.
It is a creative, innovative plot and you are really drawn into Christine's world living day by day with her.
I found the ending built in suspense spectacularly and found the novel as a whole compelling.
A good page-turner, intelligently written with a good twist at the end.

Isles without RIzzoli
To begin with I struggled with the story alternating between the past and the present, and through multiple story tellers. Once I managed to get into the flow of the novel , it was interesting and the story addictive.
As one would come to expect from Tess Gerritsen, the story is well written and the balance of charming characters, heroes and wickedness helps to create suspense and excitement.

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Shadows At Sunset in Books
Feb 15, 2019
I picked this up looking for a romantic suspense novel, sadly it was lacking in both aspects. I did find it an entertaining book that was a nice, light escape, but I really was looking for more suspense. This was more light mystery, and even that was easy to figure out early on. I think Ms. Stuart took too much time in the beginning with Coltrane and Jilly, and I never felt they liked each other much, let alone loved each other by the end. I liked them well enough but wished for more romance with less arguing and lust. I never completely got the point of the ghosts but thought it was cute all the same. Too bad there wasn't another book with Rachel-Ann and Rico, that sounds like it would have made for a good book. As I said before, a nice and easy read, but nothing I'd remember too much down the road.

I had the opportunity to read a book in a different genre than I usually do (I read cozy mysteries). The first part of the book was romance and suspense with a good plot and an unexpected twist of who done it and why. I was drawn to the characters and hoped that my favorite wasn't going to turn out to be the murderer. I thought the book was complete (at about 70% on my Kindle) and then the story took a turn. I don't want to spoil anything for the reader, but it was a big surprise as to what happens and how our couple survives the plot twist. I have to admit that I enjoyed the first part of the book more than the last half, but all in all, it was a good book for those who enjoy mystery, romance, suspense, and a bit of supernatural.

Alicia S (193 KP) rated Murder Notes (Lilah Love #1) in Books
Sep 28, 2018
This book was fast-paced, full of tension and suspense and I just could not put it down!
Oh so good but can I just start by saying MAJOR CLIFFHANGER!? Another fabulous, yet totally different read from Lisa Renee Jones!! This story follows FBI Profiler, Lilah Love, a tough, cold, foul-mouthed agent who is perfectly capable of taking care of herself and lets everyone know it. Having grown up in the rich Hampton's lifestyle (something she tries desperately to forget), she suddenly finds herself back in the Hampton's on a case and a growing list of questions about those closest to her. This leads her not only back to the family drama she left behind and that of the Hampton's elite, but her ex, Kane and one very large secret shared between them.
This book was fast-paced, full of tension and suspense and I just could not put it down! Highly, highly recommended!

Suspense
I would rate this book up there alongside 'And then there were none', as one of the best Christie book I've read. The storyline was the classic who-dun-it you would expect from the Author but where a couple of the other books in the stand alone, or Marple Catalogue can fall short towards the end and leave you feeling a little dissatisfied, this shines. It makes it into many '100 best books' or 'books to read before you die' lists and quite rightly so.
If you enjoy the crime/suspense genre and maybe coming to Christie fresh faced and wanting the best she has to offer, then I would recommend this as a great start. It might not be the first in the Poirot collection but you can get away with reading out of order. I'm jealous of everyone coming to this without knowing the plot and who gets to relish the twists and turns that come.
