Poor Jake Wolfe. In Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie , by Mark Nolan, it all starts with Jake just being in the wrong place at the right time. Mark Nolan writes an excellent thriller, with nonstop action. He gives us great characters that are fully fleshed out and you can’t help becoming attached to them. This is a great cat and mouse story that gives and gives especially if you like an action-packed ride, excitement, dogs and even a little romance to spice things up a little. If you can’t tell by now, I am a mark Nolan fan.

When I first read the synopsis for this story I wasn’t overly sure that I would like it however I have read stories by this author previously and really liked them so I thought I would give it a go. In all honesty I was really surprised, I was hooked from the very first page, it was such a gripping and intriguing story and a fantastic start to this series and I really cannot wait for more! The authors’ writing throughout was excellent, she had me guessing all the way through, I know that my imagination was in overdrive at times. I was completely invested in what I was reading. The originality of the storyline was great and the author’s attention to detail definitely made this story even more exciting to read. I love the complexity of the characters and the multiple POV’s meant that I was able to understand them a little more as the story unfolded. I am so excited for the next book in the series – I cannot wait to see where this series is going! I 100% recommend this book!!

Yet another wonderful 5 star read from this author! I absolutely loved this book – I have been eagerly awaiting this release and it didn’t disappoint at all! It was action packed from the very beginning and that continued throughout the story. I loved Sloane and Luke! They had a great amount of chemistry. I loved Sloane, I thought she was a great character; she was definitely fierce and definitely wanted to get her job done. The authors writing again in the story was just excellent, I think she is definitely up there with my favourite authors, I just love reading her books. I am definitely getting lost in the vigilantes and I look forward to seeing what’s to come next from them! This is the second book in the series and I highly recommend that they are read in order! A fantastic 5 star read that I highly recommend!

The North Wind Descends (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 4) by N.L. Holmes, is another excellent book. I can’t say enough good things about N.L.Holmes and her excellent ancient history novels. Besides her artistic use of the English language to evoke signs and sounds that take the reader to ancient Egypt, I love the way her characters sound like any normal family you know. Not only is the Lord Hani hot on the trail of a new mystery, but this mystery is also wrapped in family love. This is quite a contrast to the villain in the story. Time is never wasted with an N.L.Holmes book.

Scepter of Flint (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 3) by N.L. Holmes is another masterful tale. The rich tapestry that N.L.Holmes weaves in her wonderful Lord Hani mysteries will keep you turning page after page. Set in ancient Egypt, it is a historical fiction lovers dream. The mystery of the tomb robbers is not the only plot in this tale, but it seems quite ironic that a plague is also a part of this story, in view of our own current events. Lord Hani’s love for his family and his countrymen is a big win for me. I love how Holmes accurate descriptions make this story come alive and I love the historical notes she includes. Another win for N.L.Holmes!

Although this is the third book in this series, for me it is the first book I’m reading by this author. The wonderful thing is the book is written so you can pick up who the characters are and not feel slighted – I’m still planning on getting the first two books. The author shares with us the description of the setting so we feel like we are part of this mystery that takes place back in 1931 on a cruise ship. The story has deception, jealousy, danger, and a mystery. I’m sure fans of cozy mysteries will love this series.

Mark Nolan is a mastermind. Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie kept me on a roller coaster ride of emotions. There were many times when I had to grip my pillow because I was nervous about what was coming around the corner. The storyline is gripping. It held my attention from the first paragraph until the last word. The characters are fully developed and complex. Throughout the story, there is a roller coaster ride that keeps the story moving. “The Artist” had decided to assassinate wealthy lawyers. He has put Jake Wolfe on his sites because of a photo. Jake decides to take the chase to The Artist. Can Jake keep his loved one safe? Will Jake find “The Artist” before his loved ones get hurt? I highly recommend this story. I will warn that you may not be able to put the book down once you start reading it.

I was hooked from page one by this psychological thriller as it was full of drama and suspense. Eleanor Deveraux only has one thing left to live for and that is, revenge. When her fiancé suggests working together on a case to salvage their relationship, Eleanor ends up begrudgingly attending a session with therapist Dr. Nolan Mills. However, the only reason she completes his ‘homework assignments’ is because she wants the case files on the havoc causing proxy killer. Eleanor does not want to solve the case to stop the vigilante and his bullet messages, she wants to hire him. As he is known to be able to solve unsolvable cases, all she needs is the name of the killer. But when Eleanor discovers the identity of the killer and he gives her an opportunity to get her revenge she has to decide whether to take the shot or turn him in. This was a real page turner of a novel and very unpredictable with all the plot twists in it. The storyline flows nicely and the descriptive narrative really brings the characters to life making me feel fully engaged in the story. It was a gripping story full of drama and suspense but also romance and it took me on an emotional rollercoaster along with the characters. I particularly felt Eleanor’s pain and heartbreak and understood her need for revenge. This was a complex but enjoyable read which kept me happily turning the pages wanting to find out how it would end but equally not wanting the story to end.

I just love all of Sonya Jesus’s novels so when I saw she was putting out a new psychological thriller I could not wait to get my hands on it. This is book one in the her newest series, Dr. Nolan Mills, and I promise you this will legit blow your socks off. I was so sucked into this book I literally had to remove myself from people to devour it because I was turning into a grumpy mama bear with each distraction. I could not put this sucker down and it has quickly become my favorite novel yet from Sonya.
This thing is jam packed with adventure, action, revenge, mystery, psychological plot twists and more. I was so invested in finding out how things would turn out for the main character Eleanor. She has had enough of her failing relationship and now she has her mind set on revenge. She seeks a therapist to help her through this, Dr. Nolan Mills. The doctor quickly becomes a man of mystery and intrigue making you second guess everything you read about him. This book will make you feel as if you are watching a crazy movie, complete with the yelling and tossing objects at the characters, only with a kindle. I cannot wait to see where the next book will take us and I so so need it like yesterday! This is one killer book hangover but oh so worth every bit of it!!

4 Stars Murder Makes Waves (Jack and Frances mysteries Book 3) by Carmen Radtke
Murder Makes Waves is the third book in the Jack and Frances mysteries by Carmen Radtke. This is my first read by this author and I really didn’t know what to expect going in, but I love me a good cozy mystery especially when they are packed with danger, crime and murder . Im a huge fan of any historical genre so this was right up my alley beings it was set in 1931. This author has a unique way of telling a story and making you feel as if you are right there with them. The characters are relatable and fun. I’m definitely going to check out the first two books in this series. Frances and Jack take a job on a voyage cruise ship doing magic. But when a passenger is found dead they find themselves taking on a new role of finding the murderer. Will they figure out who the murderer is? Find out what happens next in this must read fast paced cozy mystery. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 2) by India Kells
5 Stars
Everytime I think this author couldn’t do any more to make her a favorite on my list, I read another book by her and fall in love all over again.
I loved the first book in this series and couldn’t wait for this one. This one continues the story which I have found unique and completely awesome. This part centered around Sloane and Luke and of course the vigilante. I love how this one played out and am already chomping at the bit for the next. Not going into too many details because I feel the first book needs to be read to get the full effect. This had just enough of everything you expect when picking up an India Kells book, just enough heat, just enough connection, and awesome secondary characters. The danger had me on the edge of my seat and I read it in one sitting.
Pick up both of these books, you will not be sorry!

While this isn’t a genre I normally go for these books definitely pack a punch! These are full of action, adventure, mystery & suspense. This author has created such a descriptive read that is mentally visual throughout. Each read has unbelievable twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat leaving you wondering what could happen next. These reads have had me captivated and entranced non-stop and thoroughly enjoying the characters we have been introduced to and their journey’s they have faced in each read. If you want fast-paced, action-packed read then this is the series you should pick up, you will not be disappointed. I can’t wait to see where else this author takes this series, I’ll eagerly be awaiting more!

The Scepter of Flint is my favorite Lord Hani mystery so far. I enjoyed the dual issue of both a high profile tomb robbery and the political ramifications of investigating foreign diplomats as potential suspects. I’m also a huge fan of the time period, set during the reign of the immortally glamorous queen Nefertiti and her notoriously unpopular husband, Akhenaten. This is one of the most interesting historical points in Ancient Egypt, and you get to explore both the events of the time and N.L. Holmes’ layered plot and fun characters.

The North Wind Descends (The Lord Hani Mysteries #4) by N.L Holmes
This is the fourth book in The Lord Hani Mysteries Series. Holmes has done it again. She knows how to capture a reader’s attention. I can’t wait for more of her work.
Lord Hani is conflicted. He wants to protect his family, but he also has a job to do. Things aren’t easy for him and he doesn’t know what to make of it. The King’s attention and the Queen’s new task is taking a lot out of him.
Hani goes to find what is going on when he learns that he may have to do something when he doesn’t want to. The quote I chose for Hani is: ‘All these good people are here to wish me well. They’re probably happier than I am about this.’

This is a great story with plenty of intrigue, suspense and twists. I hadn’t read any books by this author or the previous books in this series, which would have probably helped establish the characters better. Still, I grew to understand the characters Jack and Frances quickly. I also loved the setting of a voyage to England from Australia, as an Australian being able to understand many of the cultural references, and the historical details were a delight. It’s a kind of cozy read and highly entertaining. Having enjoyed this story, I would read the other books in this series now.

This is the 4th book in the Lord Hani Mysteries series. I really can’t praise these books enough. They are full of Ancient Egyptian history and mystery which are my two favourite things. The authors knowledge of the time period is very good and they really give you a sense of what life would be like in the times of Ancient Egypt.
Lord Hani is back and when he is honoured by the king he wonders why? All through the kings reign Lord Hani has been a thorn in the kings side so why now is he being honoured. Things aren’t what they seem of that Hani is sure.
Add to this a task he is asked to complete with means getting his daughter involved in court politics and Hani struggles to protect her and keep her out of things.
Why did the king give him this honour? Can he protect his daughter and stop the court politics from involving her or is it too late to protect her anymore.

Carmen Radtke is a new author to me and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This book has a solid storyline. This is accomplished by the detail writing by Carmen Radtke. Her characters are fully developed and complicated. The feeling I had reading this book is a fun cozy mystery story. I finished it in one sitting as I felt drawn into the story. I love the fact that it was done on water which makes this story even more interesting. Our main characters Frances and Jack are an act on a voyage ship doing a magic act. They were called into action when a passenger was murdered. Will Frances and Jack find the murderer? What else can possibly happen while investigating this murder? I highly recommend this story.

Murder makes waves is book 3 of a series. I’m guessing you do not have to read the books in order because I haven’t read any others in the series and I didn’t feel lost. This was a good mystery book with great character and a good storyline. My favorite character of course is Uncle Sal. I feel like he made the book. I’m not a big mystery reader but I did enjoy reading the book. The author did a great job describing 1931. I would definitely recommend this read for the mystery lovers out there.

Talk about a page turner! I read this in about 3.5 hours. I couldn’t stop! The story drew me in. It’s dark and twisty…perfect thing to me up into the night. The characters are equally evil and complex. Did I laugh or cry at this? no but my eyes stayed glued to the pages anyway.
While this is the Nolan Mills series…Elle completely captivated me. We learn more about her as the story progresses. She comes of flakey but she is strong and impressively smart. Kacey I am not overly impressed with. He would be one that could be left behind. I know…I know they have a shared history. Yeah wrong choices and all that but not sure that forgiveness is the key with them.
I did enjoy the tasks that Dr Nolan gave them to work on. Great idea! I do look forward to more in this series. This is a twisty romantic thriller.

Love Heels! The TV News Business Can Be Murderis the third book in the PJ Santini Seriesby Lynne Russell. This is a private eye mystery with humor, family dynamics, murder, intrigue, tension, suspense, and that somewhat sarcastic sense of humour that I love about this series. We met PJ Santini back in the first book. She’s a television news reporter and private eye. We follow her as this latest investigation as she is once again put through her paces. As with the other two books, this was quite entertaining- keeping me flipping the pages to find out what happens next. PJ is a great character- along with her family and the other supporting cast- add the witty banter and this comedy has some really funny scenes. The story was interesting, with cleverly crafted elements that made this book a memorable read. Again, I can’t wait to see what PJ gets up to next!

I really enjoyed reading The Bullet Theory By Sonya Jesus. The author has great attention to detail and has woven a web for reader’s to unravel themselves. Ellie is looking for this killer. Everyone has something to hide. How far will Eleanor go will she go. There a ton of different motives in this Book some that surprise you others don’t. It’s a well written psychological romance thriller. This book keeps readers on there are toes and looking for clue’s whilst trying to figure out who the Bullet man is.

The Bullet Theory is the first book in the Dr. Nolan Mills series by Sonya Jesus. It is such an intriguing and exciting start to her new series and something a little different from the other books of hers that I have read. I love the original and clever premise to the story- and love that Sonya Jesus had me wondering how things would play out for most of the way through the book. It definitely captured my attention, as well as my imagination- I couldn’t put it down for fear of missing something. So, I ended up reading it in one thrilling session- and came away wanting more (in a good way). This book is a fully contained story, so there is not major cliffhanger as such- but it does leave room for more instalments- sooooo, I really can’t wait to get my hands on the next book to find out where we go from here. I neeeeed book two- STAT!!!! I volunteer to do all of Sonya Jesus’s housework, cooking, cleaning, and any other chores- just so she can concentrate on getting the next book done ASAP 😊. As with her other books, this story was a wonderfully detailed and descriptive- and Sonja Jesus created quite a lot of intensity, intrigue, and tension- making me think- wondering where the story was leading and pretty much kept me guessing the whole way through. This is a gripping story told from several POV’s- which really gave a great perspective of what was going on- while creating enough intrigue and suspense to keep me completely invested in the outcome. As I have mentioned in the past, Ms. Jesus is quite skilled when it comes to character her development. Creating characters who are fully realised individuals, with interesting and complex personalities, quirk, and flaws. They really were so interesting- and the story was all the more exciting for their involvement. With murder, mystery, suspense, jealousy, betrayal, revenge, dirty deals, flashbacks, tension, emotion, and romance- this book is a must read. Seriously, go grab a copy and dive in- you will be happy you did! There is absolutely no doubt that I will be reading the next book! I need it like, yesterday!!!

The North Wind Descends is the fourth book in N.L. Holmes’ fascinating Lord Hani Mysteries series. Like the previous books, it is an enticing mystery with a vivid historical setting in Ancient Egypt. Holmes draws on a strong academic background to build a setting that is full of detail and accuracy of everyday and court life. The main duo, Hani and Maya, are something of an Egyptian Sherlock Holmes and John Watson (Holmes’ nom de plume leaves readers in no doubt of this influence!). Maya, Hani’s son-in-law, is more than happy to assist the newly decorated Master of the King’s Stable, as he is always excited to go home and tell the stories of their adventures. As the series has progressed, Hani’s children are getting older and more established, and so add more layers to the story. Hani’s son Pa-kiki, who is working as a scribe, joins his father on his parts of his adventure. Hani’s daughter Neferet’s work as a healer has given her access to, and opinions about, the royal family which may well get her into danger. My favourite thing about this series is how real the world feels. Holmes gives us plenty of details, such as what food is eaten and even what smells there are, without drawing away from the pacing of the story. The book really transports readers to a different time and place. For me, this is a five-star read. I’d recommend it to mystery fans wanting something a bit different, as well as anyone who needs a change of scenery without leaving their homes!

Holmes – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
What happens when you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, but also have a picture of a murder who has added you to there hitlist.
Jake is a war veteran and is in San Francisco when he takes a picture but does not realised that he may have photographed a killer. As Jake then realises he has placed himself in the middle of this serial killers sights and will he be next on the hit list.
I really enjoyed the twists and turns within the story and that it was constructed really well. The characters are brilliant and enhance the story as it weaves through the world of “The Artist”, with the story exploring Jake’s past it lets you into the experiences which has made this man who he is today.
This is the first story I have read by this author and loved the style of writing which draw me in and I could not stop reading once started. I can’t wait for the next book in this series and to read more about Jake.

Lies That Bind (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book #6). When a tragedy leads Logan to a tangled web of secrets and lies- things get quite tense, and intriguing. She is going to have to dig through the past, and untangle the truth from the lies, to get to the bottom of it all. This latest instalment of the Logan McKenna Mystery series by Valerie Davisson is definitely my favourite, so far. Wonder what Ms. Davisson has in store for us next?

Dead Lawyer’s Don’t Lie by Mark Nolan is the first book in the Jake Wolfe series and was a really good read! This novel was suspenseful, thrilling, and completely entertaining. When I read this book, I didn’t want to put it down. It was full of twists, ones that had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole novel. The characters were great, and the storyline was very compelling. Plus, the main character has an amazing companion in his dog, and who doesn’t love dogs? Not only was I on the edge of my seat reading this thriller, but the witty commentary of some of the characters had me laughing as well. This novel was definitely a great read!

Murder Makes Waves is the third book in the Jack and Frances mysteries series by Carmen Radtke. I loved taking a trip back to the early 1930s with this cozy mystery. Frances Palmer with her fiancé Jack Sullivan take a voyage from Australia to England with Frances’ Uncle Sal. They land their spot on the “Empress of the Sea” by performing entertaining magic tricks and stunts. What seems like a good time suddenly starts to shift as Jack and Frances find themselves running with different crowds. A passenger is found dead so the two decide to solve the mystery of the murder to clear the name of one of Frances’ new friends. This book kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I thoroughly loved each character that the author brought to life. I highly recommend this mystery and look forward to reading others in the series.

This series has kept me going from the first book. I highly recommend reading the first books before reading this one as you will get more enjoyment out of the series. This book sent me on a roller coaster ride. I felt compelled to keep reading. The story kept my attention from the first sentence until the last word. The main character Hani is a great detective who is trying to figure out who is robbing the tombs. He is also having a slight problem with the witnesses ending up dead. Can Hani figure out who is behind the robberies and murders? I highly recommend this book and the whole series.
