Welcome to Litsy!

This is probably a case of bad timing as I think I really need a break from all things violent and dark. Trigger warnings under a spoiler tag. I have to read the sequel because I got it from NetGalley, but I really don‘t like the MC, so it‘s going to be a struggle. The writing was okay - not terrible, but not memorable, either. If you‘ve got no other options and enjoy procedural thrillers, you‘ll probably enjoy it.

A girl goes missing, bringing together an FBI expert in missing persons cases and a local cop. This is a solid police procedural with enough hints of depth to the two investigators to keep things interesting. I won‘t be running out to find the next book, but I‘d certainly read it if it came my way.

A predictable police procedural featuring a damaged FBI agent (are there any non damaged FBI agents in literature?!) working a missing teenager case. Twists were obvious a mile off but it was just what I needed to read yesterday so a so-so rather than a pan.

I enjoyed this book. It focused equally on the current day crime and the background of the main character. I‘m hoping that this book is the start of a new series. I was drawn in both by the crime at the center of the book and the development of the main character. This was a pick for me.

My next book from Netgalley..! Let's see how FBI agent Elsa Myers turns out !!

I found this to be a solid crime read, with a fairly interesting plot. There was a little too much focus on the past for me, and it seemed to slow the urgency of the contemporary case down somewhat. Overall, a good read but doesn‘t break new ground in the genre. Rating: 3/5.

Thanks to Netgalley and publishers, Hodder & Stoughton, for the opportunity to read and review an ARC.

Saturday morning softball practice means a peppermint mocha and beginning this....

New books prepared for you by the one and only Ken!

I finished my first book to #UsherInTheNewYear with this missing persons thriller featuring an FBI agent. #ShesGotClaws for sure as she works amongst a lot of her own trauma and issues to solve the case. It‘s out tomorrow officially for those who have counted this as one of their #AnticipatedJanuaryReads. A little predictable but still a solid read! #StartingANewJanuary @writerlibrarian #NUYear @Cinfhen #JanInBooks18 @bookisglee

Happy New Year, everyone!! Finished my last book of 2017 earlier and the tagged book will be my first of 2018!! 🍾🍾🍾

🐐: heyhey human so I see you're still doing that reading thing and okay so yeah I'm 45 minutes early on my actual dinner time but if I just sit super close like this and do some deep sighs about my empty food bowl I'm hoping for some favorable results. And by that I mean I'm gonna annoy you until you feeeeeeed meeeeeeeeee.
