I belong to several Facebook groups for books, and this author was recommended as a possible series for me to read. Although it’s not my preferred genre, I have really been enjoying fiction police thrillers. I have read all the Alex Cross books, Michael Bennett books, and just finished all the Women’s Murder Club books…
Now that I finished all twenty-five books in the series, what am I supposed to do now? Can I get a table at Susie’s Cafe and wait for Lindsey, Claire, Yuki, and Cindy to arrive? I really enjoyed the series, and each member of the club could easily have their own series of books. I…
I am fully vested in this series, and have been really enjoying it. I like how Patterson and whomever is helping him write it describes in fantastic detail the action and sometimes it’s pretty graphic. The research for it must be a lot and it makes it sound real. I like that each member, Lindsay,…
I have read all the James Patterson Alex Cross and Michael Bennett books and wanted to try this one by him. I have also read all the Jesse Stone and Spenser books by Robert Parker. As you can see, that is a lot of macho men and I was ready for a change and that…
So, I finished reading all the Michael Bennett books, and enjoyed them. Although, about halfway through, I almost stopped completely because I was tired of reading about bad things happening in New York City. But, I trudged on. Even though, I knew Bennett would solve the cases, how he got there was the whole point…
So far, I am really enjoying this series. I started it on February 11th, and have been reading them pretty quickly. My next question is should I read Patterson’s Private series next or the Women’s Murder Club? I will let you know that I prefer memoirs, but this genre is starting to pull me…
I have read all the Alex Cross books by James Patterson, and was looking for another similar series of books, and I came across Michael Bennett also by James Patterson. Both are cops; Cross in DC and Bennett in NYPD. Bennett and his wife, Maeve, have 10 adopted children. We learn early on that she…
When I saw that a new Jesse Stone book was being published by a new author, I was ready to dive in and didn’t care about who wrote it as in prior books by Parker, all the writers kept the same style. I couldn’t tell the difference. And I have read all the Jesse Stone…
This is the second book in the Holmes, Marple, and Poe series and I hope there are more as I really this trio of private investigators. Each of them are unique and can easily carry a book by themselves. They have their way of finding things out before the police and their backgrounds are a…
While I was waiting for one of the Spenser books at the library, also by Robert Parker, I decided to start another of his series. I have already read all the Jesse Stone and Sunny Randall books, and I like his style of writing. I read that first book, Appaloosa, last October and was hooked….
I got this book from Netgalley so I can and review it before it’s published. Now, let me also preface that I really enjoy his style of writing and have read all of his prior books. As I was reading this new one, it reminded a bit of two books: Niko Draws a Feeling (a…
This is the last book in the Spenser series, and I am sad to say goodbye, but I am hoping that more books appear. It took me a year to finish all of them. Will I watch the television shows for Spenser and Hawk? I started them, so maybe, but I will admit and tell…
After I read the James Patterson autobiography in 2022, I was interested in seeing if I could into the Alex Cross books (as it’s not my preferred genre), and I was hooked after I read Along Came a Spider. Yeah, when I saw a new book in April of this year, I was ready and…
As a reader, I am definitely on the Frederick Backman bandwagon as I have read most of his books. I like his style of writing. When I saw this book in my Kindle as something I might like, I was intrigued and threw it in my To Be Read list. A few minutes later, I…
This is the first Spenser book written after Parker’s death. For his other books where other authors have continued his characters, I couldn’t tell a difference in the writing style. I guess that is good, and it was the same for this one. Spenser is hired by a 14 year old girl who needs his…
After I finished all the Jesse Stone and Sunny Randall books, also by Robert Parker (and others after he passed away in 2010), I started the first book in the Spenser series in January of 2024. Flash forward to today, and I have now read all the Spenser books that were written by Parker. All…
While I was waiting for Spenser, book number 36 at the library, also by Robert Parker, I decided to start another of his series. I have already read all the Jesse Stone and Sunny Randall books, and I like his style of writing. Appaloosa is a western town where the police Marshall has been shot…
I have had this book in my Want To Read list on Goodreads since January of this year. I was really looking forward to this one, and when I finished it, it was MEH. Nothing excited happened to Sunny. It could just be I am so used to Spenser as a private investigator, and lots…
This was my Book of the Month selection from May. Although I purchased the physical book, I ended up reading it on my Kindle. I actually canceled by BOTM subscription as I wasn’t enjoying the selection of books and genres to choose monthly. So, I have one more BOTM left, and, hopefully, I will read…
This is the 2nd book in the Jane Smith series. You definitely would need to read 12 Months to Live first, as a lot of the characters return for this book. For me, and at times, I was a bit confused with some of them, and found myself going back in the book to refresh…
