Open Season
by Jonathan Kellerman
The first Alex Delaware novel came out in
1985 and is remarkably still going strong. Psychologist Alex Delaware and
Homicide Detective Milo Sturgis are a team that keeps on giving. They work well
together, respect each other, are good at their jobs and have fascinating
cases. This time around a bizarre murder spree where there is no obvious
connection between the victims keeps Alex and Milo baffled up to the very end.
Close Your Eyes and
Count to 10
by Lisa Unger
The latest standalone novel from Lisa Unger
joins the list of outstanding closed circle mysteries where the novel takes
place in a remote location with a small number of isolated subjects. From my
reading of other books of this nature, if you are ever invited to an isolated
island to play a game of hide-and-seek by some rich crazy person you should
always ask if that really sounds like a good idea or the plot of a horror
movie? Supposedly the game is a social
media stunt but soon turns into a test for survival within the game itself and
from the raging snowstorm. While there are many of these books, so many of them
have been fantastic reads and I have a feeling this one will be too.
Famous Last Words
by Gillian McAllister
Camilla has a busy morning getting her
daughter off to nursery school and heading out to her first day at work so
doesn’t have a lot of time to ponder the odd note her husband left her that
morning. Only when she turns on news and finds out that there is a hostage
situation and that her husband is the gunman holding people at bay does she
start seeing the note as a clue.
