How can I be done with all the Joe Talbert, Max Rupert, Lila Nash, and Boady Sanden books? It feels like I just started The Life We Bury. Well, I hope Esken’s has more up his sleeve as I will be eagerly waiting and checking constantly for something new. For this one, Boady put himself…
This one should’ve been called The Stolen Hours (Lila Nash, #2) as it’s much about her than Joe. Lila was the victim a horrific attack years ago, and she actually solves it. How she gets there was pretty awesome, and I enjoyed being with her on it. Who else wants more Lila Nash books?
Well, I am sick as whatever Niko and Nina had, I got it. Friday was the worst for me as I just wanted to go sleep in my bed full of tissues. I had a few works calls, but told my boss after the last one at Noon, I am logging out and going home!…
I have read all of the prior Jesse Stone books, and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I can’t even tell you how long this one has been in my want to read list. I couldn’t wait to get it and see what happens to the Paradise, MA Chief of Police, Jesse Stone. My expectations were skyrocketing,…
I already knew of Boady’s current state, but reading about what happened when he was 15 years old, really surprised me. The plot revolves around race issues and Boady is front and center. You can definitely see where he gets his listening skills, his lawyer skills, and his skills to help others. Can’t wait to…
Joe is thriving, as his autistic brother, Jeremy, is doing well with Joe as his guardian and his girlfriend, Lila, is about to take the bar. One day at the AP office, where Joe is a writer, he is given a press release of somebody by the name of Joe Talbert has died. Could this…
So far, this has been my favorite Max Rupert book. I mean, we got Max, we got Boady, we got Lila, we got Max’s wife’s death haunting him, we got a murder, we got a murder trial (where the criminal also happens to be an attorney – it’s Boady), and we gots lots of suspense…
On Tuesday morning, and literally five minutes before Niko and I were leaving for school that morning, he complained that his foot was hurting very badly. Last year, we had this same issue and he had a walking boot for a few months and did rehab. He had a few instances in MN where it…
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s officially published. I actually didn’t even know about this book until I got an email from Netgalley promoting it along with the National Geographic logo. I was intrigued as I knew only of Amelia as a pilot and her last…
This one should’ve been called, The Guise of Another (The Rupert Brothers, #1), as it was more about Max’s younger brother, Alexander, who is also a police officer. Alexander is working in the identity theft and fraud area and he uncovers something big. His investigation takes him to NY where he meets with a police…
I actually started this book, and stopped about halfway through as it wasn’t resonating with me. I tried some other series, and they also didn’t resonate with me. I can usually tell quickly. But, a few days ago, I came back to this one, and finished it. I recently read all the Lucas Davenport and…
A month before we moved from Texas to Minnesota, I sold my little Honda Civic. Me and her had a really good run and I enjoyed riding her, but we didn’t want to tow it behind the big Honda Pilot. It was weird going to Carmax knowing that I would never see her again and…
Of all the books I have read, this is the first where the crime is killing bees, and it leads to the some deaths, bad crimes, FBI, gangs, mafia, lots of bad people, and even a new identity for McKenzie (while he sorts some things out). The person responsible for the bee killing was not…
I like fiction crime police thrillers. I have recently finished reading all of the Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers books by John Sandford (they take place in Minnesota) and all the Elvis Cole ad Joe Pike books by Rober Crais (they take place in Los Angeles). So, I am looking for a new series, and…
I have had an armoire since 1990 that belonged to my grandfather. I also had a matching a night table for a long time, but I gave it to my brother. That way, we each have a part of our Pop! It’s been through a lot (stuffed with clothes, some time in storage in my…
Now that I have finished John Sandford Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers books and Robert Crais’s Elvis Cole and Joe Pike books, I am ready for a new series. Cork C’Connor was recommended in of my Facebook groups. Well, I read it, and found myself a bit confused with all the characters involved and the…
I have now read all of Robert Crais’s books, and I am a bit sad to say goodbye, but am really hoping a new book will be released this year. This one is about Officer Scott James, and his K9 dog named Maggie. One thing I like about Crais’s style of writing is he takes…
After I read Hostage by Robert Crais, I watched the movie. Although there were quite a few differences amongst them, I liked Bruce Willis as Jeff Talley (he plays a good cop in movies – Die Hard, as an example), I liked the opening credits scene, and I liked the action and suspense. Overall, I…
For this one, I had no clue what it was about as I only wanted to read because it’s by Robert Crais, and I have read all of his other books. So, yeah, I was intrigued when I learned the main character, Max Holman, was a convicted bank robber who was just released from prison….
It’s cold, and snow has been on the ground since Thanksgiving. But, I am very glad that I have warm things, and I don’t have to suffer. It’s not like we don’t use the heat and fireplace, we do, but we don’t maximize them. If I have to go outside to get mail or place…
