Tell Me Her Name ~ Margot Phalen FBI #1 (by Kate Wiley)
What a wonderful book to start a new series. And this is one I will be devouring as soon as a new book is released. In fact, after reading several reviews, I plan to go back and read the books in the Detective Margot Phalen series. This book will have you sitting on the edge of your seat as you work with Margot to solve the investigation … and as her partner, Wes, is accused of murder. Margot's persona as an FBI agent is admirable … especially once you are clued in to her pas

Coyote Hills ~ Clay Edison #6 (by Jonathan Kellerman and Jesse Kellerman)
I have read a few books in the Clay Edison series by father and son duo writers, Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman. So I was looking forward to getting lost in the pages of the latest release. I love Clay’s dry sense of humor and the acerbic bantering between Clay and PI Regina Klein is entertaining.

Jigsaw ~ Alex Delaware #41 (by Jonathan Kellerman)
Once again Jonathan Kellerman has pulled me into the story from the beginning and held me captive until the end. Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis are the perfect murder mystery solving team. I love how their thoughts are shared in working the clues ... putting the pieces of the puzzle together to solve the crime. The psychological viewpoint provided by Alex is a trip into the dark recesses of the human psyche. One of my favorite series to read and I look forward to whatever dep

Open Season ~ Alex Delaware #40 (by Jonathan Kellerman)
When I open up an Alex Delaware book by Jonathan Kellerman, I know I am in for an adventurous ride. Between Alex and his detective friend, Milo, you will be on the edge of your seat waiting to see what clues they will uncover. They make a great team and their ability to bounce thoughts and ideas off each other always helps them solve whatever murder case in which they are involved.
