Burning Greed is the 2nd book in the DI Tanya Miller Investigates series by Diane M Dickson. I did not read the first book, but still enjoyed this one, so it can be a stand alone. There are some suggestions toward previous cases, and it likely lays the groundwork for the character relationship dynamics, but it is written in a way that you can hop into the series. The book follows Tanya Miller, as her team investigate a warehouse fire. She takes a small detour to help search for her missing niece, leaving her feeling torn between work and family. She has a solid team she feels comfortable leaving her friend Charlie in charge, but is eager to get back to her case. Upon returning, she sees there is not much progress made, and is feeling the pressure. There are a lot of pieces, but they don’t seem to even fit together in the same puzzle. Could it just be coincidence, or is there a missing piece? I like the writing style and the characters. There is enough detail and mystery to keep the reader hooked. I look forward to reading more.

Somebody in the neighborhood. By: Judy Moore 4 out of 5 Stars
Somebody in the neighborhood is the type of mystery that has you questioning everyone. Dawn the niece of a murder victim decides to take residence in her aunts home located in a small Oceanside town Manatee Beach. Dawn has and uneasy feeling from the first night she moves in. Her next door neighbor is a recluse who only comes out at night a sort of Boo Radley character. Then a hooded figure is outside her window one night makes her question whether the neighbors that were so welcoming could be responsible for her aunts murder. I read through this book so quickly. The plot was intriguing and before I could figure out who the killer was it revealed. I will definitely be reading more of Judy Moore and I am excited to see what she writes next.

When Tanuja Ramachandran’s husband and children were murdered, she was transformed into an instrument of retribution against the criminal underworld. Now, years later, she is a devastating weapon, honed and armed to the teeth, and kept in check only by a fraying leash in the hands of the Embassy of India in Montreal.
But when her pursuit of an international terrorist unearths connections to a now-dead mutant monkey creature that nearly killed her a decade earlier, Tanuja is consumed by a lust for revenge that threatens to push her over the edge. With her brother in tow, on her mission to find the freak’s creator, she discovers a seemingly superhuman roller derby team harboring a dark, violent past — and a sinister agenda that could topple the government of Canada at the highest levels. But will Tanuja’s single-minded hunger for payback drive her to sacrifice her sanity and her own brother while the fate of the country hangs in the balance?
And can she stay awake long enough to achieve it?!
Kumar Sivasubramanian is a manga translator, writer of the comic book Weird Crime Theater, and author of Tanuja Ramachandran: Hunter-Seeker. He lives in Melbourne, Australia with his wife and son, and plays thrash metal on his guitar by himself every afternoon.

Burning Greed by Diane M Dickson is my first book by this author. I found her writing style to be flowing and suspenseful. She kept me on the edge of my seat. DI Miller character drew me into the story. I felt like I was with her throughout the investigations. DI Miller is torn between her job as a fire investigation and being an aunt. What an impossible decision to make? Will DI Miller’s team be able to investigate the murder? Will DI Miller locate her niece before anything happens to her? Will there be dirt coming out of the investigations that DI Miller cannot hide? I highly recommend this story. I know I am going to read the other stories written by Diane M Dickson.

BURNING GREED: a gripping murder mystery, full of suspense by Diane Dickson is the second book in the DI Tanya Miller Investigates series. I had not read the first book and enjoyed this one immensely. This can be read as a standalone but I’m sure it is even better having the first book already read. Tanya Miller is up to her eyeballs with two cases. First is an arson investigation bringing out the worst about people. The second is her missing niece her sister is frantic to find. Can Tanya keep it all together and solve both cases? I really enjoyed the story and the characters. The story kept me reading because I had to know what was going on between both cases. I also enjoyed Tanya and the secondary characters. This is a good read that kept me up late one night reading. I look forward to catching more from this author in the future.

BURNING GREED: a gripping murder mystery, full of suspense (DI Tanya Miller investigates Book 2) by Diane M. Dickson is a crime mystery story-where we follow DI Tanya Miller who investigates a horrible murder along with her team. I was a definitely frustrated with a few of the characters and I wanted to give them a good shake and sometimes a little something else. I felt that some of them didn’t have the development needed to make the story stronger but that may come in other books in the series.
With mayhem and mystery, drama and intrigue, and high strung emotions and the team striving to catch a killer gives a thriller feeling. I have not read this first book in this series but didn’t feel I was missing anything. It is a game of cat and mouse and a whodunit story with a side story of DI Millers family drama, her missing niece. The story is well thought out and is an intriguing read that certainly keeps you on your toes.
DI Miller is feeling the pressure when in the middle of a murder investigation her niece goes missing. Even though she is kept in the loop with the investigation but it’s not the same as being there. Will she find her niece before it’s too late? Will they be able to piece it all together before anyone else is murdered?

When I initially cracked the binding of this book, I thought i had it solved within the first few pages. which I believe is where the author wanted my mind to go. THEN as the story unfolded and I was 100% wrong with what I thought. THAT’S the sign of a good story.
I go back and forth on this one. It was extremely detailed but the as the story unfolded I lost my compassion for the female protagonist. It seemed like there were a lot of unnecessary risks (and yes, I am aware this is fiction) taken that could have ended very different.
The characters are well developed and with the exception of a few little hiccups (which could have been the mental space I was in), the story flowed well from beginning to end. I had very little empathy while reading the story but it was a decent tale to escape into on a snowy day. ****

This is a page turner, who done it kind of story. It is a well developed story that I read in one sitting. It is engaging and the characters made the story realistic. I enjoyed how the characters are connectable, relateable and watching the growth of the story. You have three murders, who will be next is anyone’s guess. When I thought I had it figured out, another twist was added to the plot. I highly recommend this suspense, mystery story and find out for yourself who is the murderer.

Somebody in the Neighborhood By: Judy Moore 5 out of 5 stars
The story Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is a thrilling/mystery book. It is a story that pulled me in and had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. The author creates an atmosphere of suspense that will stay with you the entire story. I enjoyed both the storyline and reading about the character of Dawn Anderson. She is a young woman who has come to live at Manatee Beach after her aunt is murdered. She is looking to be out on her own. Dawn is an intelligent and kind person. She soon begins to socialize with those who live in the neighborhood. Who could have murdered her aunt? Is that person part of the neighborhood? Is Dawn also in danger? Read this book to find out. This is the second book that I have read by the author and I have found her to have the gift of crafting an amazing story. She kept me guessing until the end. Besides Dawn, there are several other characters that are introduced. Some of them are very kind and welcoming to Dawn and others I found myself wondering about. Don’t miss out on a mystery that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

Dawn Andersen and her parents are horrified when her carefree Aunt Amy is found stabbed to death on the beach, the second woman to be murdered in the small oceanside town of Manatee Beach. The police have arrested a homeless man for the murders, but is he the real killer? Dawn, 25, makes the biggest decision of her life when she decides to leave her routine existence in Ohio to move into her aunt’s cottage a block from the ocean in South Florida.
From the first night that Dawn arrives in Florida, the feeling of uneasiness never leaves her. There’s the strange man next door who always seems to be watching her. Married neighbors who were infatuated with her beautiful aunt. The nosy, too friendly mailman. A hooded figure who’s been lurking outside her house at night.
As Dawn learns more about her aunt’s life in Florida, she becomes convinced that the murderer is closer than she ever imagined, that her aunt’s killer is actually somebody in the neighborhood.
Judy Moore writes mystery novels and thrillers, as well as lighter family fiction. She is a longtime news writer, editor, and magazine feature writer, and has a master’s degree in journalism.

Her thriller “The Mother-in-Law,” set near St. Augustine, Florida, is a favorite with readers. Her Christmas anthology “Christmas Interrupted,” contains three novellas: “Airport Christmas,” “The Holiday House Sitter,” and “The Hitchhiker on Christmas Eve.” An earlier novella, “Birds of Prey,” and a new novelette “Football Blues” are also available on Amazon.

I have to admit that this is way out of my comfort zone. I don’t really go for murder mysteries but I have to admit that this book was an on your edge of your seat page turner. I like how the author draws out the drama and has the reader glued to the book as you want to see who done it. I also have to admit that I appreciated the fact that it wasn’t an obvious outcome.
I found that I felt as though I was right alongside the detectives as they investigated the case. I also found that I could relate to DI Tayna Miller. I also found it very interesting and unique how the author wove the family drama into the book and how it added to the suspense. I found that there was a really good mix of emotions playing in this book and a lot of drama with underlying drama. This made this book a good read. I do look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Dickson – Review By Caralee Loonat
Burning Greed is book two in the DI Tanya Miller Investigates series by Diane M. Dickson. This is a crime and investigation story- with police procedural elements, drama, suspense, some intrigue, tension, and some fast-paced ‘action’. This may be the second book in the series, but it can be read as a standalone. The cover and the title really drew me to this book, and as Ms. Miller is a new-to-me author, I was also excited to explore her work. Having now read this book, I will definitely continue with the rest of this series, as well as going back and reading book one. The story follows DI Tanya Miller as she investigates her latest case. One of arson and murder- but Ms. Dickson doesn’t stop there- adding another mystery for Tanya to solve, one that hits close to home, as her niece has gone missing. So, this book is really more like two stories in one- with plenty going on to hold your interest. The story is well constructed, with an intriguing plot. There were surprising developments which I didn’t see coning, and I was left guessing ‘whodunit’ right till the reveal. I found it a little difficult to connect with Tanya at the beginning, which frustrated me, because I always want to feel drawn to my MC’s and invest in them and their story. But little by little, I began to warm up to her, and by the end I came to understand her much better than at the beginning. I am hoping that as I continue the series, I will be able to invest in her more. But don’t get me wrong, this didn’t prevent me from enjoying the story and trying to predict how everything would play out in the end. I look forward to reading the rest of this series, as well as exploring any other work/s by Ms. Dickson.

Burning Greed (DI Tanya Miller Investigates Book 2) By Diane M Dickson 5 out of 5 stars
The story Burning Greed (DI Tanya Miller Investigates Book 2) by Diane M Dickson is a thrilling crime fiction book. The story has an atmosphere of suspense and I found myself on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the character of DI Tanya Miller. She is strong, independent, and intelligent. Tanya finds herself pulled between two cases. One in which a woman’s body was found in the debris of a fire and the disappearance of her niece. Will Tanya find her niece? Will she find out why the woman was in the fire? Read this book to find out. I loved that this story had great details regarding the case, and I felt like I was right there with Tanya and the others while they are investigating. Tanya is someone who is sharp, resourceful, and willing to take chances to solve cases. She will not give up until she solves whatever case she is on and I could feel her frustration when little progress is made. There are other characters that you are introduced to. Many of them work with Tanya. Some of the others are part of a rouge’s gallery of suspects and witnesses that must be interviewed. I enjoyed trying to solve this mystery. Don’t miss out on a story that will hook you in from the beginning and not let you go until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

The investigation into a warehouse fire turns into a murder inquiry when a woman’s body is found in the debris.
DI Tanya Miller investigates, but her efforts are thwarted by a family problem that demands immediate attention. Her niece has gone missing, and her distraught sister is adamant Tanya help find her.
Juggling the two is difficult. Left to their own devices, her team are making little progress understanding the cause of the warehouse fire.
Whilst her team tries to discover what happened to the dead woman, who it turns out worked on the streets and was involved in drugs, Tanya is trying to understand what has happened to her niece – hopefully still alive. The contrast in their backgrounds could not be starker, but is her sister’s daughter the angel that her parents believe her to be?
One thing is certain, Tanya is under pressure to get results, and it will take all of her wits to come out on top.
BURNING GREED is the second murder mystery to feature DI Tanya Miller. It can be enjoyed entirely on its own as a standalone, but readers will also enjoy the first book, BROKEN ANGEL and the third, BRUTAL PURSUIT.

Pigs was a good four star read. I was pulled right into this thrilling read.
Isaac is released from prison and is looking forward to rebuilding his relationship with his family. When things take a scary twist Isaac and his family are attacked, his wife and son are murdered.
Isaac is determined to get revenge and sets out to find the murderer. He entails the help of some people from his past. Isaac also finds himself being hunted by a very twisted and sick man.
There is so much more to this great read I don’t want to give anything else away. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. We get murder, violence, revenge, danger and so much more. There were some things that were hard for me to read regarding some of the violence. I was pulled right in by Daniels writing, all of the characters were great. This is my first read from Daniel and I look forward to reading more.

The description of Pigs, by Daniel James instantly drew me in and I knew it was a must read. I was not disappointed! The prologue was frightening and I feared the book would be too much. It is super disturbing, but the story had me hooked. It is a chilling story of revenge. The characters are very complex and we can see their emotions through their actions. It is a fine line between being good or evil, and its not always clear where the line is drawn. There is suspense and mystery throughout this crime thriller, and I loved it. Isaac Reid has just been released from prison, where he has been for 10 years. He worries about acclimating to life in the real world with his wife and son, who only has seen him through a plexiglass window. However his focus shifts, when his family is murdered within hours of his release. He is now torn between keeping his promise to stay on the straight an narrow, and his urge for revenge. Despite trying to put his past behind him, he is thrown right back in. All the key players in the job that went bad, are soon back together and not to reminiscence.

Isaac Reid is a free man for the first time in a decade. Fresh out of prison, he heads home to his wife and son in the hopes of making a good life with them, one on the right side of the law this time. That night his wife and son are both brutally slain when Isaac’s past comes back to haunt him. The series of events that follows with keep you pouring through the pages of this psychological trip through the underbelly of the Chicago crime scene.
This author has created a truly believable, albeit absolutely terrifying, world of crime, vengeance, and horror. The psychological walk through the mind of a man who was once a highly successful doctor until one fateful night that changed everything is so well written, you might think they are actually your own thoughts! They should make a movie out of this book because you can see every moment of it as you read. The cover of this novel drew me in and the story kept a hold on me. If you are a fan of psychological thrillers, horror, crime novels, or just well written books, grab this one and start reading! This author definitely did not disappoint!

When I first considered giving this book a read, I thought, this sounds a little gory and violent. So, I drug my feet. But I can truthfully say, I am so glad I gave this story a read. Pigs by Daniel James is a fast-paced little novel about regret and vengeance. The stages that Isaac goes through from the time he is released from prison until the end of his nightmare brings both deep sadness and hopeful joy. Just when you think you have it all figured out it takes a sharp turn that’s both surprising but understandable. There is violence but its not graphic, and it sets the stage for all that comes after. This is just a good little novel and I think you will really like it. I know I did.

Pigs by Daniel James. If I could give this book 10 stars I would. I loved every second of it. This story is my favorite kind, full of mystery, murder and running for your life. Its keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Its the story of Isaac Reid a former thief who has done his time in prison and wants to start over with life and make amends with his wife and son. The night he leaves prison is the night he begins the fight for his life, literally! A horrible enemy murders his wife and son on his first night of freedom and Isaac is consumed with rage. He is trying so hard to live the life his family wants him to live but he desperately wants revenge. When he finds the gang of killers led by a guy wearing a wolf mask and his assassins wearing pig masks he is in for the fight of his life because the wolf man is determined to kill Isaac. From the first page of this book it keeps you on the edge of your seat and doesn’t really let up. I absolutely loved it! Do yourself a favor and read Pigs!

Pigs by Daniel James is an action packed crime novel, with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers on their feet. It follows Isaac, newly released from prison and determined to stay away from the life that got him locked up – a life that isn’t going to let him go so easily.
The book opens with a fairly graphic torture scene which sets the tone for the rest of the book. If you find that uncomfortable, you won’t enjoy the book. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of graphic violence but it added to the tension which got me hooked.
This is the kind of book where you can never really relax. Like Isaac, you’re always looking over your shoulder, never feeling safe. Although much of the story comes from Isaacs perspective, occasionally chapters show us what other characters are up to giving us a broader perspective and time to let Isaac stew.
Pretty much everyone in this story is a criminal, but James achieves a variety of motivations and personal morals which make it easy for readers to pick a side. I particularly liked Grace, who prefers to talk people into doing her bidding to avoid having to use her gun.
For me, this is a five star book. A real page turner, with plenty of interest and action to flesh it out. Once I got going, I struggled to put it down!

Pigs by Daniel James is a thriller and then some. It is a gripping tale and a game of cat and mouse, one where anything goes when a cold blooded killer wants vengeance. Where revenge is all you can see, one where your worst nightmare is lurking just around the corner. Pigs is a story of danger and violence, murder and mayhem. A story where maniacal men will stop at nothing to dole out some pretty gruesome justice. Daniel has woven a tale that is engrossing and engaging and one that you can’t put down. It is also a story where the characters go through the whole gamut of emotions. The love and hope, loss and guilt, grief and madness spans over 10 years that come together for one explosive outcome.
I won’t be revealing anything because it is a story that needs to be explored on it’s own. I am waiting to see what comes next from.

Chasing Clay (The DeWitt Agency Files Book 3) by Lance Charnes was an intriguing and mysterious read. I would rate this book a four out of five stars. I loved how deep in the details the author went to bring the characters and the story alive. I enjoyed getting Matt’s point of view and seeing how his mind works. The pace felt slow, but understanding the limited frame really did add pressure for things to happen. I was glad that I kept reading because by the end I was hooked.
