East Beach: Red Farlow Mysteries: #3 by W.F. Ranew. I love a good mystery and this story definitely delivered in spades! This author has a way of having readers on the edge of their seats at least I know I was. The details are all well developed and the storyline is smooth, interesting and engaging. The characters are complex and relatable pulling you into their world. I definitely was happy to get lost for a few hours in the intriguing story. I found myself trying to read both faster and slower but I just had to know what would happen next. I’ll definitely be looking into more from this author. Four stars and highly recommended.

By
Valarie Davisson

In this book 4 of the series Logan finds herself with a new neighbor that she at once feels something is just not right with. As she gets to know her and her daughter she discovers that they are running from an abusive situation. I like Logan’s character in this series, she is a likable person with good natured friends and I love the small town feel that surrounds her, we all wish we could live in such a place. As with each book in this series I look forward to the next book.

The Red Farlow Mysteries series is well written and the characters are written in well too. I love reading what mystery PI Red Farlow gets involved in with each book. In the 3rd book, Red gets a call from a friend who is hurt and rushes out to help him. What does Red find? His friend has been shot and there is blood all around him. Now we know Red will keep searching for what happened and find answers about what happened. The story is so good, you won’t want to stop reading.

This was an exciting and thrilling read – so much so that I devoured it in one sitting and it’s not usually a genre that I read! The author’s writing was so engaging, detailed and descriptive and it’s definitely made me want to read more books by him again in the future. I loved that the whole way through I was constantly guessing trying to figure out what was going to happen and just when I thought I had worked it out the author threw in a plot twist!! I really liked the main character; he was intriguing to read about!
This is the third book in this series however I read it as a standalone and had no problems but I would definitely like to read the first two now and any subsequent releases!

I find myself delving deeper into the mysteries and I can’t help but get entrapped in my imagination as they take us to the most unpredictable places with each case. This book is no different with where we go with Red to solve this case. Every turn is more suspenseful then the next as we follow quickly along with intrigue. I love how well developed it is that it seemed like a movie as I dreamed about the book at night after each chapter as it came to life as I slept. Every character was well likeable (at least to me) for different reasons.

With such a sensitive topic of domestic abuse, this was written well and kept me reading. Logan gets a new neighbor, Lori and her daughter. When what Lori was hiding from finds her and she ends up in the hospital, the only one who knows the answers is her 3 year old, Logan ends up in the eyes of our bad guy.

I liked this story and the way it was written especially dealing with a hot topic, but the author did well with it and brought it awareness.

Vanishing Day is the fourth book in the Logan McKenna Mystery/Thriller Series by Valerie Davisson. This book is full of twists and turn that had me on the edge of my seat all night long. This book deals with a heavy subject and I thought that Ms Davisson did a wonderful job with it. This book can be read as a stand alone but I highly recommend you read them in order because they are all fantastic books.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vanishing Day is the fourth book in Valerie Davisson’s Logan McKenna series. You probably could read it as a standalone as there are enough references so you would be able to follow the underlying storyline but I would suggest you start from the beginning!
This time, it gets very dicey! Logan gets on the way of an abusive husband of her young next door neighbour Lori who has escaped him with her little daughter and as she knows what he is capable of then she has information that she uses for leverage… In this story the writer is excellently addressing the sensitive issue of domestic/spousal abuse and if you are even slightly familiar with it then you know that it is not as ‘easy’ as Lori might hope thinking that this information might keep her and her daughter safe … There are twists and turns and at times you are gripping the edge of your seat and then … finally … you get to the end and release a sigh!
In addition to the main story line, Valerie gives us further insight into Logan’s relationship with her boyfriend Ben and their circle of friends. As always, we get the beautiful detailed descriptions of Oregon coast so you can simply close your eyes and picture it (for me, I felt like I was back there …). I wonder what ends up next on Logan’s plate.

East Beach by W.F. Ranew is the 3rd book in the Red Farlow Mystery series. This is a highly intriguing book that is full of twists and turns the entire way through.
This is one of those books that you really have to pay attention to as there is so much going on. The author has created a complex and intriguing plot that really keeps the pages turning. I gave up trying to figure out what was going to happen because the author was so good at leading down a certain path only to change things up in a second.
This book was well written and full of suspense it really was a brilliant book to read. I would definitely recommend this book!

This story is a full length edge of your seat novel.

All the while her daughter Shannon, runs to Logan for help. Being too shocked to talk, Logan sends over boyfriend Ben to check out the house. That is just the first few pages of this Intense mystery. This is a must read!

Valerie Davisson has gone to great lengths to write this book. Her information is spot on, which makes you want more. I love her characters, strong independent women, and stronger men. At the end you find yourself pondering over the story. It will stay up front, one to remember. Such a strong mystery/thriller making this a page turner. I know you will enjoy this book as much as I did. Job well done Valerie Davisson!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have really enjoyed the Red Farlow Mysteries by WF Ranew, so when I saw there was a new one available I instantly one-clicked. I was not disappointed with East Beach either, in fact this may just be my favorite so far. Ranew really has a knack for writing suspense and mystery. I was constantly second guessing myself as I read, wondering if things really were what they seemed on the surface, but this sucker throws in some twists and turns that you won’t see coming. I was on the edge of my seat and found myself reading this in one fell swoop well past my bedtime. I really loved the backdrop as well I felt as if I was visiting a mysterious and creepy misty beach town the entire time.

In Easy Beach we find Red Farlow, the PI we have come to love, receiving an odd message from his friend. When he decides to look into it more and go to his friend he discovers him laying in a pool of blood after being shot. He will now stop at nothing to discover who killed his friend and why. The adventure is one you won’t want to miss and I can’t wait to see what else we will find Red Farlow doing next!

East Beach: Red Farlow Mysteries: #3 by W.F. Ranew is a mystery thriller story. It will have you thinking you had it figured out only to be slipped a twist and a turn here and there and you had no idea. WF is very good a character building and they are well written. Red finds his friend on deaths door and is now on the hunt to find out who did this. The trail leads to drugs and cartel and your share of seedy bad guys. It also leads to more questions than answers. There are a lot of moving people and pictures in this story but WF does a good job of pulling it all together.

Vanishing Day by Valerie Davisson is the fourth book in the Logan McKenna series. This can be read as a standalone book, but I believe better enjoyed if read in the series order. Logan has another mystery on her hands. What is going on with her new neighbor and child? Grab the book to find out. Logan has grown a lot since the first book, and she has a great group of friends who make occasional appearances to help her out. This book has some wonderful descriptions of the Pacific Coast, as well. If you are looking for a great female lead character with a story of twists and turns than this is a great book for you. I look forward to reading more from this series in the future.

Dare Game (The Irish Garda Files Book 1) by Melinda Colt, was a great little romance wrapped up in a mystery. I really loved that it is set in Ireland. I had to have a little help with a few of the words. I like that little bit of Gaelic thrown in. I like how the author brings out the emotional stress in teenagers when they have lifechanging events occur in their lives, most that they have no control over. I’m looking forward to more of the Irish Garda books.

Valerie Davisson is one of my favorite crime/mystery/thriller writers. Logan is a character that I cannot wait to read about her case. She grabs me from the first page until the last. There were many twists and turns that kept me reading, The story is a fast pace but again I had to make sure that I read everything because it is easy to miss one little clue that you could come to a conclusion that was a twist or a turn in the wrong direction. With every page, I felt like I was with Logan throughout the story. Logan is trying to solve another mystery that brings her choice of a friend in check. Logan doesn’t realize that her friend is not her friend. She needs to bring out a killer and has looked deeper than ever before. Can Logan bring the killer to justice? Will she get out from underneath this case? I highly recommend this book because it will leave you speechless.

This is my first book by this author and it will not be my last. I found that this story was a fast pace story. It is well written and I found myself turning the pages to see what is going to happen next. The suspense kept me wanting more and more. There is a murderer in town and they need to find out if there is more than meets the eye. The clues are subtle and can be missed if you read too fast. The story is so realistic that I thought it was a real crime story. There are so many twists and turns that you will start leaning one way and then smack it takes you down a different path. I highly recommend this story if you love thrillers, mysteries, and crime stories.

I feel as though every review for this series starts the same. Each installment is better than the last and my mind is blown. I feel most book series meet their expiration at book three so the fact that Valerie Davisson and Logan still have my attention, definitely says something about book 4. I thoroughly enjoyed Vanishing Day, there is sensitive subject matter written well and a storyline that once again grasps my attention from day one.
I love how the characters intertwine and of course, a strong female main character. I think of all the books in the Logan McKenna series, Vanishing Day had the most characters I really just warmed up to.
If you haven’t read any of Valerie Davisson’s writing but you enjoy a fast paced, thrilling storyline, I definitely recommend giving her writing a try. 5 out of 5 stars for this one!

This is the 4th book in the Logan McKenna series and these books keep getting better and better. I love that they have a strong female lead character and the characters are so well written it feels like you are actually there.

In this book Logan is dragged into a mystery that she never imagined when her new neighbour ends up in hospital. Was this a random incident or is something not adding up with her new neighbour. Logan starts to think that the neighbour isn’t what she seems to be and starts on a path to draw out her attacker. But how dangerous is the path she is walking and should she really be involving herself in something she doesn’t understand.

Its a gripping story full of twists and turns that keeps you guessing.

When your new nextdoor neighbour is not quite what you thought, will this be the next adventure.

Lori is a single mother who has moved into the house next door to Logan, although they keep to themselves. One day a commotion happens and the husband turns up looking for the daughter, the only trouble Lori has run away due to the husband being abusive. Logan involves herself to try and help Lori get away from the husband and live a happier life.

I have loved this series, getting to know Logan in each of the stories seeing her confidence grow within each story. This story hits hard as the subject matter can be a little tough to swallow but the way Valerie weaves the story makes a difficult subject matter readable and understand the reasons why Lori does what she does.

I love the way all the characters add to the story and with the plot lines weaving through it makes a interesting read, I can’t wait to read the next installment in this great series and see what happens to Logan in the next book.

I give East Beach: Red Farlow Mysteries: #3 by W.F. Ranew, 5 stars.

This is another great book in a wonderful Hard Boiled PI series. The story has so many twists and turns, I dare you to keep track the entire time. But don’t worry, it will all make sense as you go on. I was never exactly of the big picture since the author made sure to throw in a few subplots, but I could not put the book down — I needed to see what happened next. Such a gripping, twisting story.

But what this author really excels at and makes them stand apart is their character development. Each and every character in this story has an extensive back story. This makes them feel all that much real and you understand them so much better. You never really know who will be important later on or not, so you are left guessing just what role the character will play later on. I enjoy this aspect of the book, it makes the story feel all that more real.

This book deals with some adult situations, so I would not recommend it for a younger audience, but if you like your detective stories gritty and fully of suspense and action, this book is for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I knew I needed to read Dare Game, the first book in The Irish Garda Files series from Melinda Colt, the moment I saw the cover and a few teasers. It looked so thrilling and enticing that I just had to dive into the mystery between the covers. This book is a good start to what I feel will be a promising series that I look forward to reading. This one had a few moments where I did have to scratch my head with some editing and repeating but otherwise it was a gripping read. It drew me in and had me guessing the entire time I was reading.

Dare Game brings us the character, John O’Sullivan. He is an Irish detective working to solve a puzzling new murder. This book has pieces of everything for everyone to enjoy between the murder mystery, the thrilling adventure the characters find themselves on, and the undertones of romance and drama to keep the reader thoroughly engaged. I can’t wait to see what book two, Killer Score, will bring us!
