We Don't Talk about Emma | J D Barker, E J Findorff

pick

3.5 ⭐️

J. D. Barker's books are usually a 5 ⭐️ for me, but this one hit at 3.5⭐️. I don't know what was different about it, other than him writing with Findorff. It just wasn't as well written as Barker's other books. There was a lot of dialogue that I was not sure was actually needed for the book. I usually don't figure out the person with one of his books, either, but I figured out one of the bad people pretty quickly. ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read It's still a good read, just not what I expect when I read a J. D. Barker book.

When is cold-blooded murder justified? New Orleans Detective Nikki Mayeaux has decided it'swhen a technicality sets a serial rapist free. Jaded and frustrated, this latest injustice brings her to aboiling point. She arrives at the monster's home, intending to end his reign of terror, only to find
someone else got there first. His throat slit, his lifeless body left in the front seat of his car. Only one person wanted him dead more than her - his final victim - a girl of only sixteen who has vanished in the seedy underbelly of the French Quarter where residents will go to great lengths to protect their own, even when their own is a killer. When is cold-blooded murder justified? End a killer. End a cop. Sometimes, both

Heavy Are The Stones | J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle

pick

I have to say J.D. Barker doesn't get the credit or accolades he deserves. 'Heavy Are The Stones' is a collaboration with Christine Daigle. They wrote a fabulous book together.

The characters were well built. I enjoyed the development of Jena Campbell. She struggled with a heavy decision. She's a detective with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. Detective Campbell made a decision 5 years ago, and now lives are in the balance.

I didn't really care for the bad people, which is a good think (😊). They were just pure evil. The book grabbed me at the start, and by the end, I wanted more. Baker and Daigle left it open for another book. I hope they are busy writing it.

Thanks to J. D. Baker for sending me a copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

😊Happy Reading 😊
