    Middle Of The Night by Riley Sager

    Publication Date June 18, 2024 Riley Sager, I’ve done it again! About four years ago I reviewed Home Before Dark, and noted that I had requested it because I misread the author’s name and thought it was a different author whose work I had enjoyed. Oops. Oh well, I enjoyed it…enough. Now, thanks to Penguin Group …

    All The Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker

    Publication Date June 25, 2024 A few years ago, I read Chris Whitaker’s book We Begin At The End, and I liked it a LOT, so I was happy to receive a copy of his new book All The Colors of the Dark, which I received  from NetGalley and Crown Publishing in exchange for my …

    Swan Song by Elin Hilderbrand

    Publication Date June 11, 2024 Elin Hilderbrand is well-known for being the “queen of beach reads.” About three years back, I read and reviewed her novel Golden Girl, and…was NOT impressed, in fact it was one of my very rare DNFs. But her string of books with titles like Summer of ‘69, 28 Summers, Trouble in …

    10-Minute Strength Training Exercises for Seniors by Ed Deboo, P.T.

    Published March 12, 2024 This book sounded PERFECT! Subtitled “Exercises and Routines to Build Muscle, Balance, and Stamina,” and written by a Physical Therapist, the premise of the book is that it is possible even for seniors to build/regain strength and balance by spending ten minutes a day. Sign me up! The organization is fine. …

    One By One by Freida McFadden

    Published 2020, 2024 Earlier this year, I read and reviewed Freida McFadden’s book The Teacher, and noted that “I enjoy psychological thrillers, but had not previously read anything by Freida McFadden… I loved this book, and stayed up for HOURS to finish it. It is just good entertainment. Five stars.” So I was excited when, thanks …

    A Calamity of Souls by David Baldacci

    Publication Date April 16, 2024 I’ve never been a huge David Baldacci fan, although I have enjoyed all of his books I’ve read, particularly the King and Maxwell series. Legal thrillers are among my favorite genres, so I was particularly interested in Baldacci’s Calamity of Souls, provided to me by Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley …

    What Happened to Nina? By Dervla McTiernan

    Published March, 2024 I don’t recall reading anything by Dervla McTiernan, but I will probably check out some of her other books after spending much of the past couple of days engrossed in her novel What Happened to Nina? – which grabbed me from the start. Thanks to William Morrow and NetGalley, I received a …

    Kill For Me Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh

    Publication Date March 19, 2024 Although I recognize some of the titles attributed to Steve Cavanagh (Thirteen, The Defense), I can’t recall reading any…but when I read that Kill For Me, Kill For You would be great for fans of Silent Patient or Gone Girl, I thought I’d give it a try (loved Gone Girl, …

    THE PRINCESS OF LAS VEGAS by Chris Bohjalian

    Publication Date March 24, 2024 Last year, I read and reviewed Chris Bohjalian’s  The Lioness, and gave it four stars. In 2021, reviewing Hour of The Witch, I wrote “I admit it: I have been a big fan of Chris Bohjalian, ever since I read Midwives several years ago. I consider Mr. Bohjalian one of …

    Listen For the Lie by Amy Tintera

    Publication Date March 5, 2024 Reviewing Listen For the Lie by Amy Tintera will be a challenge to do without spoilers sneaking in…but I try to NEVER spoil the surprise in any book, so here goes. The female protagonist is a young woman named Lucy, who is living in LA after growing up in a …
