My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder on Oak Street is an historical mystery set in New York, 1904. I thought IM was a new author but soon realised that I have read many of her books which are historical time travel romances under her pseudonym.

Two murders two years a part could they be by the same person? Will the killer try again? Time is of the essence to try and find the killer before they strike again. That means that Daniel must reopen a case he worked on two years prior. Can he get the authorities to listen once and for all?

There is plenty of twists and turns, mystery, danger, murder, mayhem, angst, drama and suspense. All of that will keep you engaged and immersed in the story and the pages turning.

IM does a good job of incorporating the history of the time into the story.

I will leave it to you to read the book and discover what happens in this intriguing tale.

Grab a copy to give as a Christmas present.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging historical crime novel, with plenty of drama and suspense which had me gripped throughout. Set in New York, during 1904, and Daniel O’Halleran is the coroner’s physician for the city of New York, but after two years he’s grown more frustrated than ever. When his fiancé leaves him at the altar, Daniel packs up and moves on, accepting an offer to assist a local coroner in the small Long Island village of Patchogue. Life on Long Island is much slower than the city, but before long Daniel has a case. He’s surprised to discover the case that the local librarian, Kathleen Brissedon asks him to look into is actually a two year old murder case, which was the first one he ever worked on. Having never thought the verdict was right he agrees to investigate it, however, Daniel soon has a new murder to look into, and he quickly discovers that the two cases may be connected. Daniel needs to find out what the link is before another murder takes place in the South Shore village. I loved the main character, Daniel and thought he was a likeable and relatable character. The descriptive narrative brought the settings to life making me feel immersed in the storyline. The plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story, and I found this was a real page turner. I look forward to the next book in this new series.

I have to say that I am a fan of a really good murder mystery and this one did not disappoint. It is the first in a new series and I am definitely ready and waiting for the next book to come out! To me, one of the most important pieces of a murder mystery is that the author is able to keep you on your toes with all the twists and turns and keep you guessing until the end. This story definitely does not disappoint with that. I recommend reading this for a fast paced, keep you guessing old fashioned mystery!

Murder on Oak Street was a very great read even though it was a slow start. The pace of the story did pick up after a bit. The plot and the characters in the story were very good at intermingling. All of the plot twists kept you on your toes and kept you wondering what was going to happen next. I like how the story is based on how the characters behaved in the early 1900’s.

Murder on Oak Street is the first book in A South Shore Mystery Book series. I was intrigued by the blurb about the book and that I had not read this author before. I am excited to have read this book and look forward to more from this series. Daniel O’Halleran is frustrated by the politics and red tape he faces in his job as the coroner’s physician. When he changes to a new city, an old case is brought to his attention. Will he finally get closure on the case? Also, is it related to a recent murder?
The characters are great and leave me wanting to learn more about them. I also enjoyed the twists of not only the old case but the new one as well. If you enjoy historical fiction with mystery and suspense, this is a great book to get your hands on.

I enjoyed every page of this book! My first book by I.M. Foster and I was not disappointed! It’s not a genre I typically read but I’m glad I gave it a shot. Murder mystery’s definitely keep you on your toes! Making you wonder who did it and when you think you finally figure it out…things change. The author has a way of holding your attention! The dialogue, the suspense, the way things are described…so good! If you want a good murder mystery with suspense and drama, read this! And I’m a sucker for dialogue and there was so much in this book.

This is a fantastic book. I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery and suspense. The detail taken throughout the book to make you feel like you were there was amazing and down to every last drop. The characters were so well written. That prologue just grabs you by wrist and yanks you write in to the story. My heart was racing as I read it. I found the plot to be fairly smooth. There were twists and turns that I didn’t quite expect but it all still tied in nicely. A new author to me and, quite frankly, I hope to read more. These are my favorite type of mysteries. I highly recommend you give this book a shot. Well done!

New York, 1904. After two years as a coroner’s physician for the city of New York, Daniel O’Halleran is more frustrated than ever. What’s the point when the authorities consistently brush aside his findings for the sake of expediency? So when his fiancée leaves him standing at the altar on their wedding day, he takes it as a sign that it’s time to move on and eagerly accepts an offer to assist the local coroner in the small Long Island village of Patchogue.

Though the coroner advises him life on Long Island is far more subdued than that of the city, Daniel hasn’t been there a month when the pretty librarian, Kathleen Brissedon, asks him to look into a two-year-old murder case that took place in the city. Oddly enough, the case she’s referring to was the first one he ever worked on, and the verdict never sat right with him.

Eager for the chance to investigate it anew, Daniel agrees to look into it in his spare time, but when a fresh murder occurs in his own backyard, he can’t shake his gut feeling that the two cases are somehow connected. Can he discover the link before another life is taken, or will murder shake the peaceful South Shore village once again?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How far will a mother go to find the truth behind the death of her daughter? Catherine showcases the answer to this question as she delves deep into the unknown to solve the mystery to her daughter’s death. Learning things she never knew while finding the reality of how hard it is to know who to trust anymore. It is a roller coaster of twists and turns that keep you turning the page. A top notch psychological thriller!

It shows the lengths a mother will go for their child. As a mother myself it definitely hit close to home on the distance I would go for my own. I highly recommend this book. It will keep you glued to the pages to find out how it all ends.

I haven’t read anything by Dreena Collins before and this was a different book then I’m used to. The author choices to the audience to write to. I wasn’t used to this, and it was a little weird at first but as the book went on, I understood why she used this tactic. I really liked this story by Dreena Collins, and I will be looking for more books by her and I hope that she uses the audience as she did in this one. I wanted to see what Susie really did to fall. I had to keep reading until the end to find out. This is an author I will definitely be keeping an eye out for.

Gunner (Hollins & Haring #3)Gunner by T.J. Beach
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book in this series. This author has an interesting way of storytelling. There is so much going on at all times. I am not sure which plot line to focus on or which one matters the most. In this book there are at least 4 different lines to follow. The thing is that you can easily follow each one. It is fantastic.

Deb and Gary are friends and partners in a private investigations firm in Western Australia. Deb and Gary have a unique relationship. They seem more like brother and sister. The story is set at the beginning of the Covid pandemic when there was little known about the disease. Deb’s mom, Nan, was diagnosed with Covid and is growing sicker. Deb and Gary have had to self-isolate with Deb’s kids. To keep Deb’s mind off of Nan’s illness, Gary tells Deb a story about his experience with covert government agencies in London. As part of this tale, Gary tells Deb about his former partner, Tish, and their relationship. As Nan’s condition changes, Gary’s tale of covert undercover work grows more dangerous.

I can’t believe the way this book ends. Seriously. Nothing like a good old fashioned cliffhanger. Even if the book didn’t end the way it did, I am pretty sure I was sticking around to find out what happens next. This is an amazing read!!

From the very beginning of the book I could tell I would be hooked, and I wasn’t wrong. I understood on a deep level from the start of the book the grief of Catherine Keely, who spends the book trying to better understand her daughter’s death. As someone who is not a mother, I finished the book with a better understanding of how far a mom will go to protect and support their children, as Catherine proves time and again while investigating.

This is by far one of the best psychological thrillers that I have ever read, as it kept me changing my mind as to what actually happened very frequently. It didn’t take me long to reach the end of the book, which ended in a way I was not expecting in the slightest. This is the first book that I have read by the author but it certainly will not be the last!

This book is definitely and interesting one to read. As the third book in the series it can be read as a standalone although I do think it would be best read in order. I enjoyed the story but definitely feel like I missed a few details and background information.
This book is a good thriller. It pulled me in and I wanted to read more to see what was going on. I enjoyed seeing the dynamic between all the characters. With the added complexity of COVID I think it created an intriguing story. Having experienced the pandemic so recently I think this really helped you to engage with what was happening. I thought this was a well written story and I am looking forward to reading the previous books in the series.

At the moment I am loving books that include our current life situation. At first, I thought that I would hate them and would prefer books that show characters experiencing life as we were used to. However the more I read books in a post pandemic world, the more I realize I like reading books that make me see characters in situations that are really really relatable.
At the beginning of the book we meet, Gary and Debbie. Gary is man of mystery and Debbie wants to know more. Debbie is Gary’s new boss in a private investigator office. Debbie and Gary have grown close and everyone in Debbie’s family loves Gary, even her husband. Gary spends lots of time with Debbie and her kids. When Debbie’s mom tests positive for coronavirus, they find out that they all must quarantine. This means that Gary will be staying with Debbie and her family, because she doesnt want him to be alone for two whole weeks. This time gives Gary a chance to tell her about himself, his story and what all he has seen. This won’t be an easy task for Gary but he must help his friend distract herself from her situation.
I absolutely loved this story. I love the realness of the situation, from the despair of Debbie’s Mother when she tests positive. To the family’s reaction to having to quarantine. However, the part I loved the most was the friendship between Debbie and Gary. This felt like a real life friendship and their care for one another was palpable. Gary’s story was absolutely fascinating and I loved reading the background about him. What has happened to him to make him the way he is.
This is the third book in a series, but I have not read the first two books (yet). This definitely reads as a standalone and I had no problem following the storyline as I was reading. I definitely think this is a must read!

Gary and Debbie work together at the Detective Agency, although they get on well there is always something at the back of Debbie’s mind that Gary seems to have had a hard life. As the time goes on Debbie is devastated when her mother becomes ill with COVID her world falls apart.

As the world comes under siege by this mysterious virus and is thrown into Quarantine, with her mother ill and Debbie not being able to get to her so becomes reliant on Gary to help her through this time. Gary has his own demons and with the help of Debbie offering an ear when he needs to decompress the relationship grows.

Gary’s history is rocky, and can Debbie help him be the man he wants to be.

This was the first book I have read by this author and although this story is the third in the series it was easy to read as a standalone. I loved the characters and the interactions they had needing each other in the times of great solitude and pressures of the pandemic in Australia. The story from Gary was heart-breaking and really delved into his character and who he is now.

I loved this story and can’t wait to read the other two books in this series to understand the relationship got to this point from these characters and hope to read book four in the future.

This is the 3rd book in the Hollins & Haring series. I personally haven’t read the first two books but I was still able to enjoy this as a standalone. The author has a great way of writing which drags you into the story and doesn’t let go. I really felt for Debbie when her mum tested positive for covid. All the upsetting circumstances of having a loved women very poorly and not being able to help is something most people can relate to which makes the story feel more real.

Gary and Debbie work together trying to set up their own investigation business. But to Debbie Gary is a mystery. She doesn’t know much about his past or where he comes from, that is until now.

Gary doesn’t want to remember his past or even think about it but when Debbie’s mum becomes sick with covid he decides a way to distract her is to open up about himself.
So we are now taken through a story of danger, heartbreak and action and we grow to understand why Gary is the way he is and the circumstances which have lead him here.
Mixed with us learning Gary’s story we also still follow along with Debbie and her family as they struggle with her mum being ill and all the complications that came with a sick loved one during covid times.

It was lovely to see Debbie and Gary get closer as Gary tells his story. Its hard to read in parts as Gary is forced to face demons he would rather never see again but he feels he needs to, because his story is all thats holding Debbie together at times. I will definately be going back to read the first two books.

Road to the Mansfield (Express Investigations, #1)Road to the Mansfield by C.B. Laurence
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading the description of Road to the Mansfield I was still wholly unprepared for this book. The title is very accurate for the contents of the book. It is actually three smaller stories that tell the story of what led these three people to the Mansfield and ultimately set them up to be in the right place at the right time on one fateful, tragic night. This book is a fast-paced page turner, it’s absorbing, and suspenseful. I didn’t want to stop reading it. I do feel a few trigger warnings should preface Road to the Mansfield such as Rape, Prostitution, Abuse, Controlling Men, and Death of a Friend in a graphic way, just to keep in mind. At the end we are left with a big cliffhanger ending that sets up a perfect opening for book two, which I am fully looking forward to. I think it’s best to go into this book with no specifics, other than the trigger warnings, or preconceived ideas, and just know that you are in for a wild ride.

And Then She Fell was a five star read that had me on the edge of my seat with my wheels turning from the first page. I liked the narration from mother to daughter, though deceased. As well as the flashbacks keeping the intrigue and helping you try to piece the tragedy together. I really felt like this book was incredibly well written and each chapter that passed made it harder to our the book down. I can not recommend this book enough and I’m anxious to read more from this author.

What’s worse than losing a child? Losing one and not knowing exactly what happened to her. The mother, Catherine, has accepted the fact that her daughter is gone, but she hasn’t accepted that nobody knows the details. She visits the place of her daughter’s untimely death, questions the employees, her friends. There is no way her daughter, Susie, just fell due to being intoxicated.
This book was a such a well written psychological thriller. Trying to piece together what really happened to Susie that night, with experts from “Susie” after each chapter retelling of what happened, could have happened, or maybe it really did happen one of the ways she describes, but which one is the truth? I loved the way this story was written and I cannot wait to read more from Dreanna Collins.

Road to the Mansfield is the first book in the Express Investigations series. The blurb for this book drew me in, and I was not disappointed. The book focuses on three stories that converge on one evening in 1927. I will not give more about the plot because I do not want to wreck someone’s experience. I enjoyed getting the different character POV while reading. Each kept me reading to find out what would happen to them. The story has twists and turns in the plot that are excellently woven together. I stayed up late into the night reading this book and look forward to more in this series. This was a new author for me and I’m glad I stumbled upon this book.

And Then She Fell
By: Dreena Collins

Every once in a while I pick up a book that is so well written, so convincing that I find myself thinking about it long after I finish reading it. And Then She Fell is one of those books. It is the story of a mother who doesn’t trust her daughter’s death. She doesn’t believe what the reports are saying. She can’t believe that it was just an accident. There must be more, doesn’t there? The author does a fantastic job illustrating the grief and despair a mother faces in this situation. The characters are amazingly well written and there is so much drama! This is a fantastic book written for anyone who loves crime stories, especially those with an air of mystery surrounding them.

What an intriguing and powerful story this is. I felt the emotions immediately and really felt like I connected with the main character. Her journey is heart breaking and yet you could feel a strength from her that I hadn’t expected.
This book really catches your attention. It is suspenseful, intriguing and has so many twists and turns that I honestly didn’t know how it was all going to turn out.

This book contains three major characters whose stories lead them to the Mansfield Supper Club. It details the decisions and life’s twists and turns that brings them to the Supper Club. Each one is there for different reasons and I have to say I found this book impossible to put down. Their stories collide in one eventful night.
This book is definitely one where it is hard to say any more about it because it is so good that I want to allow everyone to experience its magic for themselves. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book! I cannot recommend that you read this enough.

This was a new author for me, and I must say I was very much pulled in all the way through with this book, and the story. I was left stunned often and wanted more as I read! It was easy to be immersed!

A great thrill of a mystery! I was immersed and intrigued all the way, I loved how 3 different stories, became one with this mystery that was a foot. Every bit of info proved to be crucial to the story. You could take anything for granted. So much can happen in one night and this book proves that. I loved the writing style, and how the story flowed and came together. I loved the characters and how they changed as things went on. The author weaved together a story of interest and intrigue! Great read! Loved it!

This was such a fantastic and rare gem. Could not get enough of it by any means! I definitely recommend this must read book as well as author! A read that shouldn’t be passed up by any means!
