Our Wicked Lies: A gripping psychological thriller by Glede Browne Kabongo this book is full of suspense and has a few twists and turns thrown in. I thought the story was well thought out and written in a way that kept your interest right from page one. I did at times find the characters just a little hard to relate to. I really wanted Alicia to have a little bit more backbone about her although for the most part she was likeable. Her husband I found very hard to connect with. Instead I found there was an instant dislike for him, which could well be exactly what the author intended. This is an overall enjoyable book and one I thoroughly enjoyed.
This is the next book in the Jake Wolfe series and I couldn’t put it down. Jake and Sarah are in Key West for a wedding. Jake finds out that death threats have been sent to some of his buddies. While on their way back to their boat there is a huge dangerous twist.
Will Jake and Cody be able to solve the mystery? Who is after his buddies and why?
Overall this was a thrilling read that had several twists and turns. The author does a great job with his writing and pulls you right in. You can read this book as a stand alone but I highly suggest you start from the beginning. All of the secondary characters were great. If you are looking for a great series, 1-click and get started today.

A brilliant piece of writing. The story draws you in from the start and immerses the reader in a world where everything is not what it appears. So many twists and turns had me drawing conclusions that ended up shattered in the next chapter. The author is a natural with imagery (plenty of ‘show, don’t tell’) and the characterisation was on point. A powerful storyline full of secrets, deceit and betrayal, had me turning the pages late into the night. I highly recommend this book.
Alicia Gray knows she’s a lucky woman. However, she’ll soon discover that an enviable marriage comes at a deadly cost. Alicia struggles under the weight of dark secrets from her own past, someone knows more than they’re saying. This novel was a wonderful read. I couldn’t put it down.
“Our Wicked Lies” by Glede Browne Kabongo is a gripping and suspenseful domestic thriller. Fans of Gillian Flynn, Ruth Ware and B.A Paris will find a kindred spirit in Kabongo!
Alicia Gray has the perfect family; her lawyer husband, Elliot, is devoted to her and their two teenage daughters. After a twentieth anniversary trip to Paris, Alicia feels that her relationship with Elliot couldn’t be any better, but as she soon finds out, having everything you ever wanted comes with a steep price. When Alicia discovers that her husband has been having a long-standing affair with a woman named Faith, her entire life is turned upside down. Just as shocking is when Alicia discovers the true identity of Faith, sending everything she knew into chaos, and when a tragic death occurs in their elite neighbourhood, more secrets are revealed that has everyone, Alicia included, questioning what they thought they knew.
The story is well-written and the characters are well-developed¬. I rooted for Alicia from page one (and cursed Elliot throughout the entire novel). Right from the beginning I felt an immediate connection to the characters, and I wanted to see justice served.
The novel is told mostly from Alicia’s perspective, although we do get a bit of Elliot and Faith’s story throughout. The short chapters kept me engaged, and I found myself breezing through this page-turning novel!
Each and every character was seemingly just as guilty as any other, which made guessing the ending all the more enjoyable! The ending itself was unexpected, although it definitely wasn’t uncommon in novels of this genre. I thoroughly enjoyed how Browne Kabongo kept the tension throughout the entire plot, not letting up until the very last page.
Browne Kabongo is a new author for me, but she has many novels (and awards) under her belt. After reading “Our Wicked Lies”, I can absolutely see why! This genre is one of my favourites, and to see it done so well and in such an engaging and entertaining way, Browne Kabongo will definitely be on my radar from now on!

I enjoyed this book! This is the second book in the series and I would definitely recommend reading these in order to get a better reading experience. It was a well written story and I was pulled in and interested throughout the whole book. It was mysterious and engaging. It did have some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming and that made the story that much better. I would recommend this to a friend! Happy Reading!

This was not my favorite of the series, can’t really pinpoint why, it just didn’t seem to flow as well at times. I still loved the book because I love Jake and of course Cody. It has always amazed me that this author can take a character like Cody and make him one of my favorite book characters ever. I completely enjoyed more of Sarah in this story. I would love to see more emphasis on these two, but seeing a few different sides to her in this part really helped. More focus on their relationship would make me really happy.
All of these books can be read as standalones but reading them all will give you a better feel for these characters. I’ve always said this would make for a great TV series and I do plan to binge read these sometime in the future as I really enjoy this author’s writing style and the edge of your seat suspense that is always offered.

I give Key West Dead (Jake Wolfe Book 6) by Mark Nolan, 5 stars.
I should know better by now. When I first started this book, I wasn’t sure if I was really in the mood for this genre. My genre moods change frequently and I couldn’t decide on what I wanted to read. Of course, I was wrong. I was yet again quickly pulled into the story and could not put it down. I love Jake and Cody and the adventures they get themselves into. There is plenty of action and suspense in this book and it does not take long for it all to start. There are some surprises in this story too, one of them got me in the beginning. After that, I was hooked.
I love being taken for a thrilling ride filled with suspense, some laughter, some love, and some loss. This book has it all. The characters you love most are back too, along with new ones you will want to see again. A fan of suspense thrillers (not gonna lie, a huge fan of Cody too), I highly recommend this book.

Key West Dead is the 6th book in the Jake Wolfe series. It centers around the character Jake Wolfe. This book easily stands alone or as part of the series. I have not read the others in the series, yet I had no trouble keeping up with the characters or back stories. I do plan to read the others now as this book was so good. Mark Nolan did a superb job with this book. There were several things I loved about his writing. One, the characters appropriately cursed, and it fit with the characters. However, Mark Nolan didn’t just use the F word or other language. He would describe the language in such a way that you completely understood without being vulgar. The second thing I enjoyed was that there were no descriptive sex scenes. The main character and his girlfriend flirted, and the story alluded to them having sex. But it wasn’t crucial to the story and never went into great detail. This book was a fantastic read. I had trouble putting it down. I highly recommend you take the journey down to Key West and into the life of Jake Wolfe!

This book starts off with a bang. Literally. And wow, does the story only grow page by page. I am not usually a fan of this genre, but it was recommended by a friend so I thought I would give it a read. And I am glad that I did. I could see this story becoming a TV movie with all the action and romance taking place. I don’t think it would be a good fit for Hallmark but would be perfect for the Lifetime channel thanks to the murder and mystery that keep you in suspense. I loved the way the characters worked to solve their crime and even included a bomb sniffing dog as well. I love animals so it’s always nice to see them get their share of a story line too. I haven’t read any of the previous books featuring these two detectives, but after reading this one I certainly plan on it.

Alicia betrayed. . Well what can I say marriage is hard work. Secrets are harder to keep. When these come crashing down around them they are both shocked. Been betrayed by two people close to you breaks her I really feel for Alicia. Well that was a twist I didn’t expect that to happen This book is really well written and I didn’t want it to end.
This is the sixth book in the Jake Wolf series, Key West Dead by Mark Nolan. Whenever I see a new book from Mark, I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I love, love, love Jake Wolf and Cody and the adventures or should I say misadventures that they find themselves in. As we know nothing ever goes the way you expect it to as we are giving little twisted gems that are thrown in to put you off track. Mark knows just when to add the humour and banter that goes on between Jake and his bestie Terrell and the other characters, they always make me laugh out loud. I always feel as if I have had a good work out after reading one of Mark’s books due to being constantly in a state of ready on the edge of my seat to jump up if needed and heart in mouth palpitations. On top of that we get an adventure on the seas and culinary tastes from around the Florida Keys.
Take it from me Mark Nolan is a must on anyone’s TBR list.

This is the 6th book in the series following the lush Jake Wolfe. Jake and Sarah attend the wedding of one of his marine buddies down in Key West. The marriage is short lived as the newlywed’s boat exploded while they were sailing away. Someone calling himself Orion is threatening even more explosions unless he is paid $30 million. It is fun to hear some of Cody’s thoughts, he is one of the best characters, and I know there are dogs out there as smart as he is. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Key West Dead is book 6 of the Jake Wolfe Novels. I love the characters that Nolan has created in this series. Sarah, Cody, Jake and even the Florida police officers working the case of Orion, the boat bomber. This story is action packed with adventure. And the description of the Key West area is realistic. Always a good mystery story when Nolan’s writing it. His stories are always believable and fun. Looking forward to reading what Jake and Cody get into next. Definitely recommend this author.

I enjoyed this thriller. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning by the characters. They made the story feel realistic and gave life to the story. This is an engaging, fast paced story that I had a hard time putting down. This is a well written story that the author’s attention to details made the twists and turns exciting and the feeling of wanting to know what will happen next. Alicia thinks she has the perfect marriage until she finds some emails between her husband and another woman that he never sent. Who is she and why did he never send them? Someone knows the truth but sometimes things come at a cost. This had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. This is a great thriller that I would highly recommend.
Key West Dead by Mark Nolan is book six of the Jake Wolfe series.
Jake is attending a wedding in Key West. He doesn’t expect that he and Cody will be working to find someone who is targeting boats in the Keys. So much is resting on whether this person can be caught. Jake and Cody follow the trail but will they be able to hunt down the bomber before it’s too late?
Much like the other books in this series, I enjoyed reading this book. There is just enough twists and suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what happens next. I recommend this book and series!

I have read several of these adventure about Jake and Cody and they get better every time. The author does an amazing job of making the story come alive with descriptions of the locations to the thoughts and feelings the characters are experiencing. This book had me gripped from the first page and didn’t let go.
In this book we find Jake and Sarah attending a former marines wedding. However things aren’t happily ever after when the couple leave on honeymoon and their boat blows up. Why did their boat explode? Who would want to kill them? Was it a random one off attack?
This is what Jake and his trusted dog Cody are going to find out. As time goes on and there are more attacks the attacker is getting closer and more personal. When the attacker sets his sights on Cody, Jake will stop at nothing to bring this person down.
Will he succeed before its too late? Or will the attacker get what he wants to destroy Jake and Cody?

And….he’s back! Detective Petrosky is on his next deadly mission. Savage is Book 10 in the Ash Park Novel series by Meghan O’Flynn. Detective Edward Petrosky is in search of a lethal killer when they find the newborn baby of his regular server at the diner he normally goes to. This time he needs to dig deep and far to figure out this one! Everything in his life is starting to fall in line and everything is good when he figures out that all signs turn the same murderer that killed his partner many years ago. I swear, this series just keeps getting better and better! I love all of the twists and turns that are intertwined with story. You start at page one and you seriously cannot put it down. I get so involved with the storyline that I suddenly immerse myself in it and the next thing you know, I’m working right along with them to solve this case! I seriously cannot say enough about this book or this series. In my opinion, you should read this series from the beginning because you may get lost in the timeline. But, you can read this book on its own. You won’t be disappointed! Trust me!

Key West Dead is the most recent, 6th book in the Jake Wolfe series by Mark Nolan. This book, like those before it, are packed full of adventure. Jake and his dog Cody are always getting in the middle of trouble, and this is no exception. The book starts off with Jake attending a wedding of his close friend in Key West, Fl. Before the end of the first couple chapters, a boat explodes, friends are dead, and there is a serial bomber/terrorist making threats of more to come. Insert Jake, his dog Cody, and their best friend, cop, Terrell. The book is filled with suspense, keeping you on the edge of your seat. I didn’t want to put it down from start to finish, and love seeing the relationship of Jake and Sarah evolve. There is bound to be more books coming, because I don’t think Nolan would end the series before their marriage. So I look forward for the next in the series. Keep ’em coming!

Key Wast Dead (Jake Wolfe Book 6) by Mark Nolan is great! It’s been a while since I’ve read a thrilling crime novel and this one hit the spot. Although I haven’t read the other books in the series, I was able to figure out the main characters pretty quickly. I love that Jake and Cody work together to solve crimes. In this book, they are searching for a bomber who is terrorizing Key West by blowing up yachts, threatening some of Jake’ military buddies, and demanding money from the county. Following Jake and Cody work to find the bomber was thrilling. I can’t wait to pick up the earlier books and read more about the Jake & Cody combo.

WOW– this series just gets better and more addictive with each new release. Key West Dead is the gripping new instalment in the Jake Wolfe series by Mark Nolan. I know I keep saying this, but I really can’t get enough of this series- and I don’t think I’ll ever tire of joining Jake and Cody on one of their exciting ‘adventures’- no pressure, Mr. Nolan, but I hope you’ve got many more exciting adventures for Jake, Cody, and their many ‘friends’ to negotiate, because I have a slight addiction and need a regular ‘fix’ to keep me going- so a regular ‘supply’ for the foreseeable future would be excellent, thanks! 😊 This story could be read as a standalone- but as there are recurring characters, as well as other important details that help to build a bigger picture, I would recommend reading the other books first, before embarking on this adventure as knowing what has happened previously, and how much Jake and Cody have been through together- will greatly enhance your reading experience of this story. This time Jake and Cody are pitted against a psychotic bomber who is hell bent on a demented agenda… and taking out Jake and Cody in a fiery inferno just became his top priority- the perfect ‘icing’ on his deadly plot. Will Jake and Cody manage to outwit their deadly adversary long enough to take him down, as well as keeping their friends safe in the process? This is definitely worth the read to find out!! I could go on and on about every little detail of this fantastic book- but instead I will sign off here so you can grab yourself a copy and dive in asap- highly recommended! I can’t wait to see what Jake and Cody get up to next!

When Jake and Sarah are attending a wedding of an brother in arms, they get more fireworks than the wedding itself. Can Jake find the person blowing up boats or will he kill more people?
Jake and Sarah are attending one of Jake’s military buddies wedding and they decide to hire a boat for the weekend, with their trust friend Cody will the trio enjoy a lovely get away or will it end up in disaster.
While in the ceremony they discover that a few of his fellow vets have received death threats and Jake’s sense become alert as he feels that something is not right and that he feels something bad is about to happen, but on the way back to the boat they befriend a couple and walk them back to their boat, within minutes the whole atmosphere changes and Jake is drawn into a murder investigation. Can he find out who is blowing up all these boats, can he locate the bombs with his trust bomb dog Cody or will the killer escape.
This is the first story I have read by this author and I loved it, the twists and turners have you wrestling to uncover who the killer and the bomber is with piecing the clues along the way. I loved that the ne character is a dog and a very intelligent dog, the research that must have gone into the book is fascinating and brilliant to understand these brilliant creatures was absolutely amazing.
I loved the character of Jake and the interaction with his friends was a great read, the banter was a great light relief to a hard hitting storyline and with an excellent and well written story draws you further into the story page by page. I can’t wait to start this series from the beginning, although this can be read as a stand alone story I would like to get to know where Jake and Cody’s bond comes from and how Jake met Sarah and get to understand more that relationship.

Another stellar story by Mark Nolan! In here we visit Key West with Jake, Cody and Sarah. I enjoy reading these stories to see what happens but also to read about the how and the why of Jake. How his brain works and of course I love watching…well err reading about Cody working and even not working.
This story has a lot of action, suspense and food. We get a lot more time with Sarah and Alicia and watch more on the interaction of Jake and Sarah. There are a few pesky bombs and ransoms to deal with as well as all the issues Jake and Cody have with other LEO’s. Which are not a few but always enjoyable as a reader.
After reading the back (it’s almost my favorite part) to see what was made up and what was true. I am amazed at how even the briefest mention of an item and it is mentioned in the back as true. Very detailed of this author. I loved that Jake goes to Key West! I have always wanted to go and it’s great to get some ideas of places to see and visit.

Key West Dead by Mark Nolan a fantastic five-star read. This is number six in the Jake Wolfe series and they could be read as stand-alone but honestly, I would say read them in order as you get the best out of them, you get to know the characters like Jake and Brody who is simply the star of the show to me. The suspense in this story is so tight it will keep you on the ledge, but the suspense isn’t the only part of the story. There is romance and drama and even some funny moments as well, they all make this a compelling and well plotted story. The thing that always strikes my from this author, is the attention to detail, usually when I read about something I know I get put off as they always get something wrong, but this author must spend so long doing research or simply writing what they know, as the detail is so well done.
