so-soThis is not grounded in reality at all. Do not expect this to be a good procedural investigation book. I would say it's romance with light mystery and squad goals.
The case is a child abduction and murder which automatically takes it out of the cosy genre for me. None of it was handled well or respectfully in the writing. It felt exploitative, as if it was included just for shock value. The perpetrator did not make sense.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

pickGreat read about life from a cops perspective!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reichert worked for over twenty years to solve the Green River Killer case. This is his firsthand recounting of the grueling hours, days, years he chased leads, logged evidence, and ultimately got that asshole Gary Ridgway.
so-soReread. Queer cozy mystery.
As much as I give this book/series an average rating, it ends up being good for rereading when I need something cozy and reassuring.
Both characters are competent and kind, and neither gets in their own way as far as a developing relationship. Although the characters weren't all vibrant, the story--and mystery--held together, and the whole thing is a nice escape from reality.
pickRomance with a plot and horrible back stories
Both main characters lost so much, both a bit broken, Judah may never recover, but are the perfect cure for each other‘s misery, leading to a great HEA. There‘s threat to life, misery and grief, angst, homophobia, bullying, unpleasant family dynamics. This balanced by lust, love, eventual proper communication and a satisfying outcome for many. All due to a cruel condition I‘d never heard of.

pickIt was hard to decide on a rating for this one. A 5 star rating is one I give out to those books that I fall head first into and don't want to ever set the book aside until I finish it. This wasn't a book like that. Although it was such a good story. I sped through the beginning and then couldn't read more than a little of it it at a time through the rest. But it's good. I got a lot out of it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
I loved Hope and Tyler Steele so much.
