pickThe third installment in the #CyrusHavenSeries is another exciting one that I listened to at every opportunity! Evie, now 21, lives with Cyrus. His older brother, hospitalized for decades, is granted release to return home, making Evie uneasy. Meanwhile she accidentally ties Cyrus more personally in the case of a missing woman in a new mystery they wind up working together to solve. The plot may be a little more predictable but still enthralling!
pickThe 4th installment of Sigurdardóttirs‘ Children‘s Home series confronts domestic abuse, non-consensual filming of sexual acts, and humiliation from the impact. A man found hanged with a nail imbedded in his torso in an Icelandic lava field starts the case. The ending is sad and satisfying, and the resolution is one of “If you had been there/If you had seen it/I betcha you would have done the same”. A great read within a great series.
panThere were too many characters with stories that didn‘t connect enough for one book. Because of this I lost interest and ended up skimming to the end. #hauntedshelf #hexesandcrows @Catsandbooks
pickMaking the most of the winter sun again. Great story set in one of my happy places, Iceland. I think I‘ve read others of hers. This did not disappoint. A clever plot and very well written characters . In days gone by I would have had it as a plane read. Perfect for the long journeys we have to take to get anywhere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis was so good I didn‘t want to quit listening! It is a bit creepy, though, as it involves stalking. If you were a victim of stalking, as I was, be warned. #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
Marnie Logan feels like she's being watched: a warm breath on the back of her neck, or a shadow in the corner of her eye that vanishes when she turns her head. She has reason to be frightened. Her husband has inexplicably vanished, and the police have no leads. Without proof of death or evidence of foul play, she can't access his bank accounts or life insurance. Depressed and desperate, she seeks the help of clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin.
pickThis was my first time reading this Australian author and I will now have to go back and read the others in this series as I really enjoyed it. The characters are interesting and flawed, but still likable and the plot held together well. I did feel I had missed some of the back story and want to know so much more about Evie, so would recommend starting with the first in the series “Good Girl, Bad Girl“. 4.25/5 stars.
pickNot quite as good as the others but still a really good read. Evie finds herself in danger yet again, as a witness to a kidnapping. Cyrus‘ brother, Elias, is released from the secure psychiatric hospital he‘s been at for the last 30 years and is staying with Cyrus. What could go wrong. This is a really good series I highly recommend. Unfortunately, the fourth book isn‘t coming out for quite a while. ☹️ #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
“Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac return in Robotham‘s latest page-turning, psychological thriller in this ‘gripping and eerie‘ (Karin Slaughter) series, reaffirming why Stephen King has proclaimed this author ‘an absolute master.‘”
pickThis is the third book in this series. I love them. Totally impossible to put down.
