After Lindsay goes on a stakeout that turns into a shootout, she finds herself facing a lawsuit by the victims' family. Trying to escape, she stumbles into a string of murders in Half Moon Bay that bears a striking resemblance to her first case. The dual plots were okay, but I missed the rest of the characters.

Michael tries to help a reformed gang leader turned priest escape his past when his former gang tries to use him to launder money and hide other activities. The characters are pitch perfect and the plot feels like something from the show itself. A great read whether you are a fan of the show or not.

Lies, indeed!
This story is about what happens when one moment, one choice, leads Joe Lynch into a tangled web of lies and deceit from which there seems no escape. It was well-written and well-paced, and kept me guessing until the very end. Technology & social media play a very large part in the "gaslighting," if you will, which was a smart play by the author.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the ARC!

"I first read this book ten years ago and was so taken with the fluidity of the prose that I read it a second time, and then a third. And then to my surprise, I listened to it several times as an audio book. I could not and did not want to escape that place at the bend in the river. It is a total experience of a place and a time, and a thrilling read."

A good simple story (0 more)
Crawl is the tale of a father and Daughter who find themselves trapped in a rapidly flooding cellar/crawl space during a hurricane in Florida, their escape is hindered by an increasing number of man eating alligators. There’s not much else to add, plot wise. Crawl is mainly a two and a half cast driven film (two humans and one yappy dog) as Haley and Dave attempt to escape the cellar and get to safety. We do see other characters but usually from a distance and only for short periods of time.

Crawl is a classic creature feature and really works, the small cast helps portray the looming danger and the combination of the alligators and rising flood waters make the threat very believable and the yappy dog is used to enhance the tension as you find yourself waiting for it to be eaten.

 And that’s it, Crawl has a simple premise, a simple story and is an hour and half of tension, jump scares, people being eaten and, oh yes one yappy dog.
