My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Secrets They Hide is Book Two in A Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome Series. It is a crime thriller that is set in Rome, Italy, and centers around the character of Detective Scala. When a body turns up dead in the cemetery it sends Scala into a world of corruption, and he discovers other unsolved mysteries could be connected to the man in the cemetery. When his family comes in harm’s way, he is determined to protect his family from a crazy psychopath who is intent on causing them harm. Detective Scala is smart, ruthless, and relentless in his pursuit of the person responsible for terrorizing his family. He does not back down from a challenge and continues to follow the clues until he solves the mystery. I loved how determined his character is and enjoyed trying to solve the mystery alongside him. He is a lovable character that I found myself rooting for in his quest for truth and justice. This book had action, suspense, drama, intrigue, mystery, murder, mayhem, and some good old sleuthing in the quest for justice.

Emma is back with another edge-of-your-seat, intelligent mystery. This time, she is offered a trip to Paris, no charge; however, something seems suspicious to her. Set during the Paris Exposition of 1889, the French landscape comes alive, as well as marvelous inventions of the time. As with all the Notebook Mysteries installments, I am pleased with where this story took me. It is a well-researched, intricate series that will whisk you away to Emma’s world, as if you are trying to solve the mysteries right along with her. Emma remains one of my favorite heroines and this author has become one of my favorite authors of historical fiction. This sixth book in the series can be read as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend checking out the entire series. I will be eagerly anticipating more installments!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome series. I haven’t read the first book but was still able to follow the story and main character without detriment however I will be going back to read to first as I feel I’d have a better understanding of Detective Scala.

The author’s writing was descriptive and clear, painting a clear picture of the scenes and characters throughout and I enjoyed the storyline, trying to solve the mystery alongside Scala.

Scala seems to be a reliable and determined detective and with high stakes building the suspense, this is the kind of detective you need on the case. He’s also a father who loves his daughter and this adds another layer to his character that helps to make him relatable.

I’ll be going back to read the first, but I also look forward to reading the rest of the series.

This is the second book in this series. They can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the previous book as it is just as great as this one. It will help your enhancement of Detective Scala’s character as well. Scala is back in another suspenseful mystery with the same determination we have seen before. I enjoy his character and what he brings to the story. He is connectable, supportive and has a determination like no other. He pulls you into his world with ease and keeps you there until the end. I enjoyed watching the growth of this story which made it hard to put down. This is a great story and I look forward to seeing it next for Scala. I highly recommend this book.

My second Inspector Scala book, and I enjoyed it. The plot was a little easy to figure out (I read a lot of mysteries) but the book was still very interesting due to the consistent antics of the main character- from the love of his daughter to the love of his sandwiches to his love of work.

The best part of the mystery was the poetry left by the killer that helped the Commissario solve the mystery, as well as his daughter helping catch the culprit. The beautiful setting descriptions and day in the life of a police officer continues in this book of the series. I can’t wait to read another one.

Scala is one detective that I would want on my case if I needed one. He’s trying to protect his family from a possible psycho but seems to be losing it a little. Romizi is just trying to help him but ends up with a few mishaps like a pop in the nose but as friends, he forgives him. He understands. I find these books so interesting because Scala is a no-nonsense cop good at the dettails. He lets a little slip in this one because its his family and that affects him.Like a dog with a bone, he is relentless and he won’t let this go, he will figure out who’s trying to hurt his family and who’s killing the others. I love how the author just leads into the next books at the end. Such great writing and wonderful characters. Even with the story based in Italy, it is still easy to understand for us here in the US. A must for mystery lovers.

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is still a newer author for me which I enjoy reading and look forward to seeing what is next. I found this book to be well written and has twists and turns that will keep you guessing to the end. I enjoyed how the author used details to pull you into the story from the start. The characters made the story realistic and I had no problems picturing myself right along with them. They are strong, connectable characters where the female is not only the hero but also has her own demons to deal with. I enjoyed watching the growth of this story which made it easy to read. It is fast paced, engaging and hard to put down. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Emma, Jeremy, Dora and Tim receive a mysterious invitation to an all-expenses-paid FIVE WEEK trip to Paris during the 1889 Paris Exposition, what do they do? While Emma is definitely suspicious, they go for it! Who could resist such an opportunity, after all? They’ve had plenty of adventures, so far.

Along the way, everyone is busy with mysteries and drama. The world building, as always, is rich and beautiful. Fashion of the time is easily visualized and appreciated. The characters have continued to grow and blossom throughout the series, and the ways they’re influencing one another is natural and charming. Romance, (multiple) mysteries, adventures and innovation.

All of these books have been great. I can’t wait to see how the author wraps them up in the seventh book. These books all flow so well and the pages fly by quickly as they are so hard to put down. In this book the gang goes on an all expenses paid trip to Paris. They don’t know who their benefactor is, they just know that they have less than 24 hours to pack their bags. It also just so happens that the Paris Exposition is also happening. A stranger befriends Emma and Jeremy on the ship while an older couple befriends Dora and Tim. Will they be friend or foe? Of course the crew gets tangled up in a few mysteries that challenge their investigative skills. If you like investigative mysteries any one of these books can be a great starting point.

This is book 6 in the series and I have read almost all of the books! Even though this novel is part of a series, it does well as a stand alone book. Who would turn down a trip to Paris? Not me! That’s what Emma does too. This historical crime story has a bit of romance, action, suspense, and plenty of intrigue for a YA novel. This book is a brilliant addition to the series. I loved feeling like I was in the book on Paris right along with the characters!

This was such a great book and I am so excited to read the next book in the series when it comes out. Jessica was such a wonderful character. Initially she comes across as a kick-butt hard working woman, who takes what she wants and makes no apologies for her choices, but as the pages continued to turn, you slowly start to see the cracks in the armor she has built around her. The assignment she takes, to locate a missing woman, takes her on a journey of self discovery. Jessica has a lot of demons to contend with, both from her past and her current life. I loved that she had such an amazing support group of friends and I loved her pup Tela! This was definitely a fast paced story that I couldn’t put down! It definetely held me in suspense and had so many twist and turns. A fantastic read with an awesome heroine!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Notebook Mysteries Parisian Intrigue is Book Six in the Notebook Mysteries Series. It is a Historical Crime novel set in 1889 and centers around the character of a young girl named Emma. I have read all the books in this series and am always impressed by the author’s writing style. I love how the author takes inspiration from actual crimes that took place between 1881-1890. Emma’s latest adventure takes place with the beautiful backdrop of Paris when Emma is invited to attend the 1889 Paris Exposition. She sets out on a fun-filled, leisure-filled, trip with close friends but it does not take long before she finds herself immersed in new mysteries. Emma finds herself trying to solve two mysteries at once and one of those mysteries could affect the Paris Exposition. The author has done a wonderful job of creating interesting storylines, against the beautiful backdrop of Paris, with fantastic characters that one becomes easily invested in. I have loved the character of Emma since the first book. She is smart, feisty, determined, tenacious, and well ahead of her time. This was a great book full of action, suspense, danger, intrigue, and mystery. I highly recommend!

This is the first book in the Southwest Suspense novels series, and I look forward to reading the next one.

I really felt for the character of Jessica, she’s had it rough and is just trying to survive/cope as best she can. I was emotionally invested in her from the beginning and there were moments I wanted to scream at her and get her to stop or reconsider because I cared for her. A well-written character in my opinion.

The author created an action-packed story with twists and betrayal which I did not want to put down. The descriptions of the settings/scenery made me feel as if I had been there while it was happening, and the characters felt real.

I really enjoyed this book, and I can’t wait for the next one.

Is there ever enough Tequila in the world? I think not.
Tequila Midnight is the gripping and exciting first book in the Jessica Watts Southwest Suspense Novels by Kathryn Dodson. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more from this author.
It is a crime story with cleverly woven threads to keep you invested. The pace is just right, with enough darkness, lots of danger, high on drama, plenty of suspense and palpable tension to keep you on the edge of your seat and glued to the pages.
The fast-paced engrossing storylines have mystery and grit. It feels believable and yet sometimes disturbing. There are betrayals, grudges, questionable behaviour and redemption. It is full of violence, alcohol, dangerous thugs and thrilling twists and turns that kept me guessing all the way through.
The characters are complex and well developed enough to be interesting and likeable or dislikeable.
Journey along as Jessica follows a twisted trail right into the hands of the shady, dark and dangerous underworld where she finds she will be lucky to remain alive. But that is not all she is running from.
If you like a riveting tale, take a chance you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy!

This book is set in El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico. Jessica has had a pretty horrible life. Her parents abandoned her when she was 16 and she was left with family friends to oversee her teenage years. A time when she needed her parents, especially her mother, she was left. Her dad was in a lot of trouble with a bad business deal and he wanted to escape those who were after him. He didn’t consider the toll on his daughter.

Jessica is now grown up and is a real estate agent settling deals between the borders. When Tomas approaches her with a new job, she is ready to take it on, especially when she hears what the payout will be. She’s not quite prepared for where it may take her though. Jessica deals with the angst in her life by drinking a lot of tequila and having one night stands in bar bathrooms. Then she goes home to her best friend Angus who’s dying to save her from all this turmoil.

Overall, this was an enjoyable, fast paced read. There is a lot of action taking place throughout and many times I wanted to smack Jessica because of her poor decisions. Some may disagree with me but I felt that there was a tad bit of a cliffhanger there at the end. I’ll be happy to read more books in this series.

Tequila Midnight is a fast paced, action-packed, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat, crime novel that will keep you riveted until the very end. The story centers around a tough as nails character named Jessica who works as a broker making real estate deals across the border. She has built hard walls around herself and has a hard time letting go of the painful past she had. Jessica’s trauma has affected her life and caused her to have a hard time moving forward. When she is asked to look for the missing daughter of a Mexican crime lord her true strength is put to the test. She finds herself having to rely on her strength, courage, and wits to survive the challenges that get thrown at her as she searches for the missing girl.

The storyline was engaging, the backdrop of the story was intriguing, and the character of Jessica was one that I found myself rooting for. Jessica’s past was painful, and because of her lack of love from her parents it affected her ability to love anyone as an adult. She learned to put up walls and be tough because she was given no other choice. This book had action, suspense, drama, danger, intrigue, love, loss, angst, betrayal, and twists and turns that will keep you reading until the end. I highly recommend!

Jessica is having some issues of her own to get through and Tomas decides to hire her for a tough case of a daughter that’s missing and a daddy that wants her found. Dang, this was an action packed story that had me reading and I couldn’t put down the story. I had to see what was coming.I’m often the first one going “just pause, it will be there when you get back.” Well, I couldn’t do that with this story. It’s that good. Badassery, thugs, a romance that she doesn’t want to acknowledge, daddy issues… you name it and it’s probably in this story. She grows up a bit as she’s hunting this girl and it’s a neat story to read and follow. I cannot wait for more with her and her friends. One of the best series I’ve read this year.

She keeps people at arm’s length and booze within easy reach. When she’s hired to find a billionaire’s daughter, she’ll need more than tequila to survive the night.

Texas. Jessica Watts won’t let anyone hurt her again. Scarred from her parents’ corruption and lack of love, the hard-boiled cross-border broker drowns her misery in the bottle and seals off her heart. But the tough-as-nails woman softens when a Mexican tycoon with shady connections begs her to locate his missing daughter.

Starting her search by interviewing the missing woman’s friends, Jessica wonders if she’s taken on a fool’s errand when her probing questions leave her beaten and drugged. And as the twisted trail leads from Boston to Central America, the stubborn sleuth fears reaching her quarry might only make things violently worse.

Hunted by dangerous thugs and her own demons, can this dealmaker-turned-detective survive long enough to at last find peace?

Tequila Midnight is a suspenseful work of women’s fiction. If you like haunted heroines, gritty determination, and terrifying twists, then you’ll adore Kathryn Dodson’s riveting tale of redemption.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Parisian Intrigue (Notebook Mysteries Book 6) by Kimberly Mullins

Parisian Intrigue is the sixth book in the Notebook Mysteries Series and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone but I highly recommend reading this series in order as each book is just as good as the last and you get learn all about the characters and pretty much watch them with each story. This is a Historical Mystery that is packed with adventure, drama, action, mystery and so much more. This author has knocked it out of the park once again. I could vividly picture Paris in 1889 and everything else as well. This one we find Emma and Jeremy along with Tim and Dora going to the Paris Exposition where they find themselves not only working one mystery but two. We follow them along the way as they do their thing. You’ll find yourself lost in the pages as you turn them to find out what happens next. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens. I can’t wait for the next one in the series.

Loved this next book in this wonderful series. Emma finds herself heading to Paris when a mysterious all expense paid trip is placed in front of her. Emma, Jeremy, Dora and Tim have no idea who wants them in Pais but decide to take the free trip. Soon it becomes apparent that whoever the benefactor is does not have good intentions.
