I just love this series. Emma and Jeremy are separated throughout much of the story and you see their relationship strained, but strengthened because of it. The storyline is exciting with the different cases the group takes on. Cannot wait for the next installment out this year. I highly recommend this series!

Emma is at it again but this time it is to save the children that have been kidnapped! With the constant support and help of her family and her boyfriend Jeremy, Emma and the Pinkerton’s are able to locate and rescue the children including the niece of a local law enforcement officer. The mystery and intrigue do not stop there by any means! Emma and Jeremy are given a vacation by an unknown source for a week at a beach house and they are very excited and enjoyed the time away from such a terrible case involving the children. Who would send them on such a lovely vacation for free and anonymously? That I will not reveal! After vacation, Jeremy continues to wrap up the work on the kidnapped children, identifying them, and getting them home to her parents and Emma is summoned by a past acquaintance to come visit as she needs the help. Emma goes to her and helps her out along with two other women and their daughters. In the end, a debt was paid off from an unlikely source, a man was put behind bars, and Emma was successful at helping the women escape their marriages and difficult lives.
One of my favorite book characters is Emma. She is an extremely wise and insightful character and a total bada$$!! I love how the books by Mullins has strong female leads and a bit of history weaved in for a great read full of adventure, mystery, and a dash of romance. The setting in historical Chicago is wonderful as the scenes of traveling always take me away as I ride along whether by train, horse and buggy, or just riding a bike. I cannot recommend this book more highly. In fact, read the entire line of books by Mullins that have Emma as the heroine! You will not be disappointed!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions (Notebook Mysteries Book 5) by Kimberly Mullins
Notebook Mysteries ~Suspicions is the fifth book in the Notebook Mysteries Series. Im a huge fan of not only this author but this series. Notebook Mysteries is a Historical Mystery that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. This author has a way of grabbing you and you feel like you are part of the story. Her attention to detail makes it so easy to actually imagine what things look like. The characters are simply wonderful and relatable plus fully developed. Emma is back at it again . This time she finds herself tangled in a case that is pretty heart breaking. Emma is very courageous and finds herself helping three families . One of them they all know fairly well and seems to have something to do with Emma’s past. I don’t want to give away t much I do highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next and if you haven’t already started the others I’d recommend reading them as well. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

I’ve read several books in this series and always enjoyed the historical mystery aspect of it. I love the suspense and drama of the plot, of course. It’s fast-paced and intriguing, but I also think that Emma as the main character is always dynamic and interesting. She’s a strong, independent woman, but her relationship with Jeremy seemed deeper in this book, which I appreciated. Highly recommend this whole series.

Notebook Mysteries: Suspicions is the fifth book in the Notebook Mysteries series. It is January 1889, and we find Emma and her team back to solving mysteries. This can be enjoyed as a standalone, but I recommend picking up the earlier books first. I enjoyed delving back into the life of Emma. This time she is busy with multiple cases going on. There is also the return of someone from her past. With everything draining Emma and Jeremy’s energy, they must battle the challenges. I enjoyed this series and enjoyed this newest addition to the series. If you enjoy mystery and historical fiction with a strong female lead, this is a great series to grab. I look forward to picking up more from this author in the near future.

Book 5 of this series was yet another impeccable piece by this talented author. If you are a fan of this series like me, you will thoroughly enjoy this addition. If you’ve never read any of these, you can easily follow along and appreciate the multiple levels of mystery and suspense.

We find Emma as strong and independent as ever at the beginning of this story. She’s ready to take action to help those who do not have a strong voice of their own, all while finding a case from her past is directly linked to the existing case.

Emma’s love, Jeremy is right by her side and raring to go to find the bad people hurting the innocent. While he’s always looking out for Emma, he is not attempting to be her knight in shining armor, as she can handle herself.

This book finds Emma facing multiple cases, heartbreaking journeys, heartless men and women who are trying to take advantage of others, tender moments with her love and a challenging interaction with an Alpha male thinking he can get the best of her.

This book did not disappoint!

I cannot wait for the next book to be released later this summer so we can see what Emma is up to yet again.

I have read the previous books in this series and was excited for this one. I was not disappointed. Once again, Emma is solving cases and putting herself in danger. Can she keep her relationship together? This, like the others, can be read by itself but I recommend reading them all. The author does a really good job in each book.

I have loved every book in this series and book 5 is just as good. This instalment sees Emma and Jeremy back to their sleuthing ways. This story has action, mystery, suspense and lots of emotion. It was great being back amongst the Pinkertons and all the characters from past books. Jeremy and Emma’s relationship, though strong, is tested. Highly recommend this whole series.

I just love being able to visit my “friends” in this series again. Of course, Emma is my favorite. In each book she has several mysteries to solve, but this time it seems to affect her differently. There’s a lot to this one; it is thrilling, quirky in a good way, and heart-wrenching. I can’t wait for book 6 to come out.

This was another fantastic books in this series. I absolutely love when Emma and Jeremy are able solve a mystery together. The first mystery was heart wrenching. It is so easy to feel the emotions with each character. Then after time Jeremy and Emma take some time alone, Emma is thrust into a past mystery with a new twist. This is another page turner that will keep you on your toes and wondering what the next page will bring.

I really enjoyed this book and especially enjoyed being back with all the antics of Emma and her mysteries. This can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading them in order as some events from previous books gets brought up and it’s just easier remembering the characters that way as well.

Just like the books before we have another great story. If you are a fan of suspense and mystery this is a great series to pick up. In this story, which is the 5th installment of the Notebook Mysteries Series, Emma is working on three different cases. The past will meet the present and relationships will be tested. Will Emma be able to solve the mysteries while keeping her relationship with Jeremy intact? Any one of these books can be read as a standalone but why would you want to only read one? The author does a good job of keeping you engaged in the story and keeping the characters interesting. I’m really glad that I picked up this series and took a chance on this author.

Starting this book, I was a little worried because I haven’t read the previous 4 books in the series. But the author did a great job of sharing a little of the backstory as the new story unfolded. Emma is a strong, independent, and highly skilled agent, who has a strong moral compass leading her to the work she does. She will stop at nothing to bring bad guys to justice. With Jeremy and Cole vouching for her skills, nothing can stand in her way. There was a lot going on in this book, and I will probably go back and read the first ones to fill in any holes in my following of the story. Overall it is an interesting mystery book.

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was looking forward to being back with Emma and Jeremy, solving yet more mysteries. As usual the descriptive narrative and historical details transported me back in time, making me feel immersed in the story. Set in January 1889, the Pinkertons and Emma find themselves involved in a heart-rending case. Emma and Jeremy find it challenging and emotionally draining, and it tests their investigating skills. However, their partnership is also tested as they struggle to support each other during such a difficult case. Independent sleuth Emma is soon involved in yet more mysteries, as three families reach out to her. Emma knows who the man is at the centre as each mystery links back to her past. Meanwhile, Emma’s safe home life with her tight family is put at risk when a past-haunted stranger arrives. An action packed storyline full of adventure, mysteries, crimes and a little romance, kept me happily turning the pages. The plot twists kept me guessing, and I was gripped throughout. This series keeps getting better and better!

Emma and Jeremy find themselves in the middle of a very unsavory mystery involving children. While they work their way through finding the person in charge of these despicable crimes, they are brought back into contact with someone from Emma’s past. Sorting through everything drains them both physically and emotionally. When they are surprised with a much-needed beach vacation, they jump on the chance to go. As they part ways to work different cases, they think life will return to a more normal pace. However, a friend’s visiting family member starts acting a little too forward in his attentions to Emma. Will Jeremy make it back before this person crosses the line? Can they answer the questions that arise because of him?

I enjoy this series. This book was heavier than any of the others concerning the subject matter. While the topic was heavy, the author didn’t get bogged down in the details of how heinous some acts were, letting the reader come to their own conclusions. I appreciated that immensely. Emma is still her precocious self, and Jeremy loves her quirkiness. The reader gets to see a very protective side of Jeremy in this book that I liked too. Sometimes he seems to just go with the flow, but he really put the pants on with their unwanted guest. All in all, it was an excellent addition to this series!

Notebook Mysteries – Suspicions
By: Kimberly Mullins

This is the latest book in the notebook mysteries. As with the other notebook mysteries, Emma and the others will be going through a series of twists and and turns as they investigate the latest crime that has fallen into their laps. This time Emma and Jeremy and their relationship will face major stress and strain. Emma is no stranger to intense investigations that play with her emotions and put her through stress. This time though this is not a simple investigation, this one with many layers with many threads that are all unraveling at once. This time there are lives of others, specifically children, at stake.
As always, this notebook mystery does not disappoint. I definitely recommend it. It can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the others to get a better idea of all the other characters as well as to not miss some good reads.

Suspicions is the fifth and latest instalment and sadly the last book of the Notebook Mysteries. I have read each one of the books in this series and have enjoyed them immensely. I suggest reading the books in order even though they could be read as standalones. This is definitely my favourite and the best book of the series.
This historical sleuthing story is set in 1880’s Chicago where this multi-layered characters and the storyline is full of intrigue and mystery, suspense and drama, danger and evilness.
Emma once again along with Jeremy are is thrown into the world of crime with some of the vilest people on earth. This one is a little darker than their other adventures as this involves kidnapped children and organised crime.
The story as always is well written and has you engrossed and invested with every twist and turn.
I look forward to seeing where Kimberly takes us next.

I knew this book was going to be a great one when it starts out….

“WHAM! Something hit Emma on he back of the head, and she pivoted toward the assailant. The old woman stopped her by jumping on her back, pulling her hair, and stabbing at her neck frantically with knitting needles.”

I do know how to knit but I prefer to crochet. This opening paragraph had me from the start and I just had to know what was up with this lady! It really wasn’t too significant in the overall story but still….I loved it!

Emma is at it again with her team of sleuthing family members and friends. This time, there are several children who’ve been kidnapped and it’s up to Emma and company to try to return them to their rightful homes. As they are working this case, other smaller cases come up that they are trying to quell. Many of those smaller cases have ties to the much larger case at hand.

The overall themes this book features are topics such as human trafficking, bigamy, and women empowerment.

This book could be read as a standalone but the reader would miss out on some of the dynamics of the characters. I have really enjoyed this series and this has been my favorite so far. I am looking forward to the next book that should be released later on this year.

It was so easy to engaged with these characters again and it fel like I had never stopped reading about them. I liked this story and how it developed throughout the course of the book. There seemed to be a lot going on but the author handled it with ease.
This far into a series I usually find the storylines and the characters start to feel a bit tired, but not so far with this series. This is a fantastic book and I cannot wait to read what comes next.

This is a series that I have enjoyed reading from the first book. Emma is back in this fifth book of the series. Emma is one of my favorites in this series. She is unique, strong and just adds so much to the story. I enjoyed how the author used details to pull me into the story from the beginning. I found this book to be a fast paced, well written, engaging story that is hard to put down. The characters made me feel as if I was right there in the story with them. There is great growth of them as well as the plot throughout. A story that is full of mystery, danger and most certainly takes you on an adventure that you don’t want to miss. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up as her series is that great. I highly suggest reading the previous four books in this series to help your enjoyment of this series and the characters. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This is the 5th book in the Notebook Mysteries series and this series keeps getting better and better. The books can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading them all in order so you get the full story of the characters and their growth. We are back with Emma and Jeremy as they are faced with more Mysteries to solve. This books has more than 1 mystery happening which keeps the reader guessing all the way through the book. You never know what is going to happen or what will be uncovered next.
The author does a great job of researching the time period and this has paid off by really bringing the story to life.
With a mysterious case of kidnapped children, a enemy from the past trying to destroy her future and a new target firmly placed on Emma’s back, can Emma and Jeremy solve the cases and protect everyone involved or will these cases prove to be too much for our sleuth.
Emma is a courageous woman who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty to find the answers she needs. Her determination to get to the bottom of each case really makes these stories a gripping read full of danger and drama.

Notebook Mysteries- Suspicions is the fifth book in the Notebook Mysteries series by Kimberly Mullins. This story brings intrigue and mystery that kept me guessing the whole way through. We follow Emma, and co, on their crime and investigation adventure. Bringing suspense, drama, danger, and tension- this quirky historical mystery had me engrossed right from the outset.
This latest ‘case’ will test Emma like never before, as well as putting undue pressure on her and Jeremy’s relationship. She has faced many challenges over the course of the series, but this time they seem to be that much more taxing on her mind, as well as her emotions. Emma is thrust into the fray with multiple investigations that all grapple for her attention at the same time. Multiple threads play out as we work through the intriguing layers. The past will collide with the future, a wily nemesis who’s bent on a twisted game of cat and mouse, then attracting a new target on her back, as well as the lives of kidnapped children who are hanging in the balance, means Emma is going to have to keep her wits about her if she has any hope of see it all through.
This could be read as a standalone, if you wanted, without feeling like you are missing anything major. But having said that, I highly recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one, as I feel that knowing what happened previously will give you a far greater appreciation of the characters, motivations, and series foundations- and will enhance your reading experience of this book.
Looking forward to seeing what Emma (and the team) get up to next….. Book #6 can’t come quickly enough.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Kimberly Mullins!

This is book 5 in the series and this is the first book of the series that I have read. That said let’s break it down. I feel that you could just start with this book and be fine. I however, would recommend reading the others in the series so you can understand the characters and their friends/families better. This book has adventures, thrills, and intrigue all weaved throughout the book. There is the storyline of the main characters but in that storyline is the main theme of the book. It is like getting two stories at one time. You are able to deep dive into the main characters and who/what they have gone through but yet still have the thrill of them chasing after a huge, nasty crime circle organization. The book will have you guessing as to who is doing what, what is going to happen next, and what else could these poor kids go through. I didn’t feel much of a lull throughout this book because it constantly kept my attention with what was happening. I had to keep turning the pages to find out what was going on next. I feel that I wasn’t prepared for how amazing this book was going to be. I also find myself going back to the first book in the series to read all of them. I feel like I will have a better understanding as to what drives the main characters. However, you get a good feel for that in the book, I just liked it so much that I need to know more. I highly recommend this book if you like organized crime, mysteries, thrillers, and just good suspense.
