A Tennis Pro To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For Book 3) by Judy Moore – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

A Tennis Pro To Die For (Cozy Mysteries to Die For, #3)A Tennis Pro To Die For by Judy Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Tennis Pro To Die For is the third book in Judy Moore’s Cozy Mysteries To Die For series. With a coastal Florida setting and a book loving accidental heroine, this series is proving a great comfort read!
In this book, Beck is caught up in the mystery when a tennis pro from the club where she has been (reluctantly) having lessons is found dead. A fan of mystery novels, Beck has already found herself caught up in multiple cases before and seems to have a knack for solving them.
The supporting characters in this series are well established by now! I particularly like Scratchoff, the unlikely millionaire who is committed to supporting those in need. There are also some great canine characters, particularly Coquina.
This book could be read as a standalone if you’re particularly looking for a tennis-themed murder mystery. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend starting at A Book Signing To Die For and working your way through, getting to know the characters along the way!
For me, this is another five-star read. I can’t wait to read more of the series!

The Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald – Review by Liz Vrchota

The Tears of BoabdilThe Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Neil MacDonald is a new author to me but when I saw the cover and blurbs I knew I needed to read The Tears of Boabdil soon! I scooped it up and devoured this in less than two days. I won’t be telling you details and snippets in this book while reviewing because this is a story that can easily be spoiled and I can assure you that is not something you will want when you pick up this crime thriller. I was blown away at how deep this book went with hidden agendas and underlying life lessons while you watch the characters attempt to find their way in a messed up world, one similar to the one we navigate daily. I will for sure be looking for more of MacDonald’s books and devouring them as soon as possible. I can’t say enough good about this book so please just one-click and dive in, you will not be disappointed.

Witness (Ash Park Series Book 9) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Katie Matthews

Witness: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 9)Witness: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Another gripping 5 star read from this talented author! She never fails to have me on the edge of my seat with her Ash Park series and Witness (the ninth book) was no exception. The storyline for this book was complex and engaging, I definitely found myself wanting to keep those pages turning to find out what was going to happen. I have loved following Petrosky as he tries to solve crimes but this one had me glued from the very beginning and I think is certainly one of my favourites from the series.
I am really looking forward to more from this author and I highly recommend this series – the books can be read on their own but I would recommend that they are read in order!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Witness by Meghan O’Flynn is the ninth book in the Ash Park series, I am always so excited to get back to this series as each one always delivers a fantastic story they completely captures my attention. Full credit has to be given to this author as not many people can successfully keep a series going for this number of books and yet Meghan seems to do it with ease.
This book is yet another brilliant addition to such a strong series. I love getting back into the lives of the main characters and seeing what else is going to happen. This book is every bit as action packed and intriguing as the rest in the series. I was pulled out n right from the start and had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. This is the kind of book that you have to read all in one go.
This is one of those series that I just never get bored of and I am already excited as to what might come next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you love crime or psychological thrillers look no further this series is for you

If you have not read any of the Ash Park Series, I recommend reading the previous books to get the full enjoyment from this series. Meghan O’Flynn is one of my go to authors when I am looking for a great thriller to read. She pulls me into the story from the first page until the last word. The plot-line has a fast pace to it, but I caution you to be aware of everything going on so you do not miss something. I have to admit that I do go back and reread a page because I thought I had missed something. Her attention to detail is another reason I love reading her books. Now we can talk about characters. Detective Petrosky has stolen my heart. He is a wonderful book boyfriend. I always feel like I am with him and I do scream at him from time to time. He took this call because it was going to be a simple burglary. Nothing Petrosky ever does is simple. This case is shaping up to be quite a doozy. I highly recommend this book to see if Petrosky will make it through this case.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Witness is book nine in the Ash Park Series. I have not read the others in the series yet and had no problem following the story and the characters. This book is an action packed story by Meghan O’Flynn. It centers on Detective Edward Petrosky. Petrosky is a gruff angry detective struggling with alcoholism. His partner, Regina Jackson, takes no nonsense from him even while they are investigating an insidious group of people. This book does not go into great detail about the abuse several women suffered, however, it was still difficult to read about what they went through. Every corner turned was more shocking with twists and details revealed making this book hard to put down.

This is a gripping read, full of suspense and intrigue. It’s a mystery with some paranormal elements and there were some intense moments. The tension and drama had me guessing all the way through, and I hadn’t guessed all the plot reveals by the end of the book. The plot was developed more than the character Tessa but I still enjoyed all the action and tension. A great read!

4 Stars!!!!

Another trip into the drama and intrigue of Meghan O’Flynn and I was one again sucked in and pitted at the edge of my seat. This is not my go to genre but it was a nice escape down the drama filled road of Detective Petrosky. The characters just jump off of the pages and come to life as the book unfolds. I was not able to put this book down even though I knew it would go dark.

Petrosky is very much haunted by the demons of his past and the author has a good way of bringing this all up and into the present to make the story both dark and intriguing. I find that the twists and turns of this book keep you glued to the pages and I for one could not wait to see how it would all turn out. I like how the author keeps your attention and how the story goes just dark enough but doesn’t cross into too dark. I will definitly read more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give A Tennis Pro To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For Book 3) by Judy Moore, 5 stars.

This is another thrilling cozy mystery in such a fun series. This can be read as a stand alone, but if you are following the series, you will enjoy this book even more. Yes, there is another whodunit for Beck to solve, but it is totally different than the last two. While Beck and her family and friends are back as well as her bookshop, the murder involves a country club and the employees and residents there. This bring a whole new spin on things. Plus, Beck being away for a while makes both Beck and Devon ponder on their futures. You will have to read the book to see just what I mean.

I love how the author brings back the characters we love, yet makes the main story different enough from the previous ones to keep us enthralled until the very end. If you are a fan of Agatha Christie and cozy mysteries, I highly recommend both this book and series.

This is hands down one of my all time favorite crime thriller series that I have ever read. I have followed and read all the previous books of the Ash Park Series at least twice, so when I saw book nine, Witness was available I may have just cancelled the whole night so I could disappear into this read. I would personally recommend that you read the books in order as we have recurring characters that are amazing and have growth throughout so it would make your reading a bit more enjoyable. Witness it one amazing and twisty read that will have you second guessing everything as you go. I won’t divulge one bit of this great read other than the author has already shared in blurbs, but take it from me this is one you do not want to miss and will want to clear your schedule to devour!

Witness: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 9) by Meghan O’Flynn is another wonderful dark thriller in this series. It will have you so twisted around and turned inside out that you won’t know which way is up or down. Such is Meghan’s writing that it becomes all-encompassing and there are a lot of moving parts. Meghan is a master at writing psychological thrillers as evidenced by this series and the sinister plot webs she weaves so intricately and skillfully.

This dark tale sees us taking a look into the darker and deeper side of Petrosky as he once again is on the case of a killer or killers.

Five Stars

I have been reading books by Meghan O’Flynn for a while now and can honestly say I’m still creeped out. Every story crawls under my skin and lives there. I can’t seem to stop reading the stories either. The details laid out perfectly. The plot full of twist, dips, dives and corners you lose what way is up and what way is down. One moment you feel you have an understanding and something happens to change the game. I got chills just thinking about this story. This is book 9 and not once has the author disappointed. Detective Petrosky’s character has been through the ringer and yet he is still fighting. He has faced so many tragedies I am honestly surprised he is still fighting. This story brings his dead partner back onto the sense and it’s a big mess. I was scared and excited for this story. I can’t get enough even though it freaks me out.

Rebecca Remains is an entertaining and enjoyable suspenseful, mystery story with a paranormal twist, all of which had me hooked from page one. When Tessa Stevens meets her husband Keith, she thinks that all the tragedies and loss which she has suffered is now in her past. However, through her dreams a visitor makes Tessa see that her husband is not who he pretends to be. When this visitor starts appearing in her home and with her sister also having suspicions about Keith, Tessa starts to investigate. She uncovers family secrets and deceptions along with a mystery surrounding a decade old murder. Tessa’s ‘gift’ also awakens and she can no longer ignore it and in fact has to embrace it if she is to discover the truth. This was a wonderfully written fast paced novel which had me gripped from start to finish. The plot twists and turns kept me guessing and the paranormal element added an additional layer to the story. Tessa is a likeable character and she makes a great main character. The authors descriptive narrative really bought both the characters and the setting to life making me feel fully immersed in the storyline. I found this novel to be an engaging read which I would definitely recommend.

She has married Keith and is thinking she is moving in the right direction. She has been having some dark dreams. She cannot shake the feeling of who is truthful and who is trustworthy, Will she be able to get to the bottom of her dreams? Are the people in her life whom they say they are or are they trouble?

This is not the first book I’ve read by Jessica Aiken-Hall. There’s good reason for that, she’s an amazing author. In this story our main character is Tessa. There are many supporting people in this book that are worth mentioning, but honestly just read it. It’s an original story about a woman (Tess) who’s married to Keith. She thinks this is the perfect life, until some things don’t start adding up. She reconnects with her sister Emily to try and figure out what’s off with her relationship.

Rebecca Remains was not what I was expecting it to be! It is the first book in the Shadow of Doubt series by Jessica Aiken-Hall. The first half of the book was really intense and action packed. I was on the edge of my seat and didn’t want to put it down. The second half was not nearly as exciting, and dragged a little. It went from a suspense thriller, to a romance/new friendship building, then ended as a thriller again. I wish the middle part had a little more suspense. I felt like Keith dropped off for too long, with how intense he was in the beginning. I do like the characters, and their friendships are well developed. The twist of WHO Rebecca is, is not what I was expecting. The next book in the series sounds exciting and I cannot wait for it to be released next month. Jessica’s books are always twisted and suspense filled, and this was no different. Recommend Rebecca Remains, and her other books.

We meet Tessa Stevens in this book and she has had tons of crap in her life. She meets Keith and they get married and she thinks maybe that her life will turn out pretty good but the more time passes the more she realizes that Keith isn’t what she thought. When Tessa starts getting visits by a ghost and then in person she starts to realize that her life is anything but normal.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well, what happens when you are bullied into taking tennis lessons but your instructor mysteriously ends up in a hit and run accident, it could only happen to Beck.

Beck has been hounded by her sister Lizzie to start going to Tennis lesson, so after a lot of coercing she finally gives in and starts her lessons at the local Country Club, but when Beck hears that one of the Tennis pros is found in a hit and run scenario her sleuthing vibes come to the forefront and is itching to get involved in the investigation but will Devon let her get involved. So to her surprise when Devon asks for her help she is all to eager to help solve this murder.

I have read all the books up to this stage in the Cosy murders and I love them, the characters are wonderful and I love to see the growth of them in each book I read. Beck is such a wonderful forthright character who knows exactly what she wants and is not afraid to run for it headlong even though sometimes it may get her into more trouble. I am so intrigued in reading the next book to see if the relationship of Devon and Beck moves into the next gear as I love the anticipation of the bubbling chemistry.

Although I love the main characters in these books, I am also glad the secondary characters are moving forward also, with Granny and Scratchoff (please involve him more, I love this character). With the fast pace of the book, you have no time to be caught sleeping, the book whisks you along with the story and you will end up saying that famous line “just one more chapter” and you know we have all been there. The story is well written and the plot twists are brilliant. I think this was my best book so far purely because of the interactions and the growth of the characters. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series to see where the next adventure/crime will take us. Although this can be read as a standalone book, I would recommend that you read the series as you get a better insight into the characters.

This story is way out of my league of genres but I picked it up anyway and gave it a chance. The beginning chapters you are thrown into the world and mind of a secret agent. You are shown how he gets into his persona at the time. It is really remarkable the inner workings of his mind and how he manages to infiltrate a terrorist group.
This is his story and once you give it a chance you will find yourself drawn in and reading straight through.
