Devil’s Claw: Logan Book 3 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book three in Davisson’s ‘Logan McKenna Mystery Series’ and having read the previous two novels in the series I was looking forward to this one and was definitely not disappointed. Back with our fearless and extremely likeable and relatable independent heroine Logan McKenna I felt as though I was back with an old friend, as she has another mystery to solve. This novel sees Logan at a good point in her life, with a new job, plenty of time for her love of music and with daughter Amy home, Logan feels that her new life is just beginning.
Logan and Amy rescue an orphaned sea otter pup and this leads them to Jasper’s Sea Otter Centre where they help nurse the pup back to health. The Sea Otter Centre soon gets swept up in the property claim of Lot 429, a stretch of gorgeous coastal property which a lot of powerful players have their sights on including two fighting half siblings. When this leads to a murder of someone close to Logan, she begins to investigate and discovers resentments, greed and painful loss attached to Lot 429. The community must step up and help stop the killer before they strike again and before Logan herself becomes their next victim.
This was Logan’s third mystery and I was hooked from page one and the story kept me gripped until the very last page. The storyline was action packed and fast paced with a plot that kept me guessing until the end. The characters are all well defined and fascinating in their own right but Logan really does hold the story together, for me. It can be read as a standalone novel but the reader will have a better understanding of Logan’s backstory if the series is read in order. I look forward to future books in this exciting series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There is a prime real estate spot, Lot 429, there are alot of interested parties but what will happen?

This is the third book in this series and we follow Logan and her daughter moving to California and what will this move hold.

The book opens with a great lure into the story which will make you want to keep reading to uncover the truths and the mystery around the elusive plot 429. As the story weaves through you are introduced to great characters which have you wondering and thinking what is there motives regarding everything. As you uncover the truths within the story you are drawn deeper into the mystery and try to uncover who the murderer is.

I really enjoyed this well and developed story, it will have you reading well into the night to try and uncover the brilliant twists and turns of the brillant story. I loved the mixture of characters which just enhanced the story even more.

If you are looking for a great thriller, with a few twists and turns then this is your book, I can’t wait to read the next installment within this series.

This sets out in the perfect suspenseful mystery. I loved the start with Logan and her daughter. I found their scenes adorable with the little sea otter to boot. The characters are easy to love but the mystery that surrounds Lot 429 is impeccably written. The theme itself that surrounds the story is also a very good pace for a book of this stature. Of all in this series, I have never been disappointed yet as to what this author has to offer!

Devil’s Claw: A Logan McKenna Mystery/Thriller Book 3 (The Logan McKenna Series) by Valerie Davisson. This author has truly risen to some of my top favorites. This series keeps giving and I love everything it’s got to give. From the drama and mystery to its bits of adventure I love getting lost in its pages with each character. The characters are complex and well developed, pulling readers in completely and making them one not want it to end and two coming back for more and more. I found myself on the edge of my seat trying to read faster and slower all at once. Even the smallest details are focused on and well developed. I like the authors writing style and I I can wait to see where this author takes readers next. Four big stars and highly recommended!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Devil’s Claw by Valerie Davisson is the third book in the Logan McKenna Mystery/Thriller series. This book can be read as a standalone although it follows the same character so you might want to read the previous 2 first to get the overall build up.
This book is a great addition to the series and just as fast paced and exciting as the other two. The story is complex and interesting and you are drawn into it from the very beginning. I found myself flying through the book, desperate to find out what was going on and what was going to happen.
I loved getting back into the character of Logan. It is always so easy to become engaged with this character again which I think is partly why this series is such a good one. This book has left me just wanting more of them and I cannot wait to see what else is to come.

I would have to say that this is one of my favorites from Valerie Davisson. Her writing style is what holds my attention from the first page until the last. You need to pay attention to your surroundings because you may be missing so clues to assist you in the mystery. The story is about the property that is in high demand. Logan has a new murder to investigate. The characters are what keeps this thriller alive. It was quite dark when I finish and the little hairs on the back of my neck were standing on edge. I wanted Logan to help me get through the aftermath of the murder. Logan is a great character who has grown with every murder. I highly recommend this book for you to grow with Logan as well.

Devil’s Claw: A Logan McKenna Mystery #3 (The Logan McKenna Series) by Valerie Davisson

Davisson has really done it again. This book is phenomenal and I really hope there’s more to the series. This is the third book in the Logan McKenna Mystery Series.

Logan is happy to have her daughter home although not how she wanted. When she gets the call from her daughter that she found otters Logan rushes to help her. Ben is still in her life and she couldn’t be happier.

Amy goes to the Otter Sanctuary only to find that something had happened. Logan gets worried when she doesn’t hear from Amy so she rushes to be by her daughter’s side. The quote I chose for Logan is: “You and Mike are great parents. You’ve given Haley a solid foundation. You’re doing all the right things. You’re giving her the chance to grow up. It’s going to be up to Haley. If it’s any consolation, I think she’s a great kid.”

Highly recommended for lovers of crime and drama.

Devil’s Claw: Logan Book 3 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 3 in the Logan Mckenna series. This books is just as good as the first two. Packed full of adventure, mystery and edge of your seat action.

Logan Mckenna is back. Her life is moving forward. With her new job and her new life and love everything seems to be on the right track finally.

That is until someone close to Logan is murdered. When some land comes up for auction there is a lot of conflict over it. What is so special about this land and how far will people go to get their hands on it?

As a community pulls together to catch and stop a murderer do they become more deadly than the murderer.

I love the authors writing. The way of writing creates the scenes for you so you actually feel that you are there. Its also nice to have a strong independent female lead character.

DEVIL’S CLAW (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 3) by Valerie Davisson. This is an amazing book. I have loved these books and this is probably my favorite. This book reminded me of one of my favorite authors James Patterson. Its the story of Logan McKenna and her daughter who has come home from Africa. Logan has been left some coastal property along with her 1/2 sibling. The problem is someone else wants the property so badly that they will commit murder to have it. As Amy and her mom nurse a baby sea otter back to health we learn a ton about Sea Otters and their habitats. When someone Logan is close to is murdered she learns of long held resentment from someone that she had no clue was upset. Will this killer kill again before they figure out who it is? Will the property left to Logan be worth all the greed, loss of life and pain? Read Devil’s Claw to find out!

Devil’s Claw by Valerie Davisson is the third book in the Logan McKenna Mystery series. I really enjoyed this addition to the series. The character of Logan McKenna is great to read about and there is always something interesting which turns Logan’s world upside down. This book hits some themes which all will understand and relate to: resentment, pain, personal loss, and greed. What these do to some is unmentionable while others come through the flames. The story is interesting and kept me reading to find out what all the twists would lead to. I always enjoy a good story with interesting characters which keeps me reading late into the night. I look forward to where this series goes to in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Devil’s Claw is the third book in The Logan McKenna Series by Valerie Davisson.
Another cosy mystery- with drama, danger, crime, intrigue, and a little adventure. The author had me at sea otters, and the book got extra points for including the sea otters, their rescue, and research.
Logan is drawn into a dangerous situation as a piece of picturesque coastal land causes tension and danger to boil over with various parties laying claim to the same parcel of land. With a murder hitting close to home, Logan will have to get to the heart of the bitterness and greed if there is any possibility of thwarting the killer before they strike again.
Otterly intriguing!

Thank you, Valerie Davisson!

By Valerie Davisson
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Devil’s Claw (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 3) by Valerie Davisson. It is a story that once I started, I couldn’t put it down until the final page. It is a book that includes mystery and danger. I have enjoyed reading the first two books in the series and I found this one to be just as amazing. The author does a wonderful job of weaving a tale that had me turning pages wondering what will happen next. This story revolves around the disputed property of Lot 429. Some want the property for selfish reasons. How far with they go to possess it? Read this book to find out. I loved that this story includes a new Sea Otter Center. When reading about the center and the orphaned sea otter that is where my heart just melted. I love the character of Logan. She is intelligent, strong, and independent. She has a fierce determination as well as a true and kind heart. I also enjoyed reading about Amy, Logan’s daughter, and the part that she plays in this story. This book has heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. There are also moments of suspense that kept me on the edge of my seat. Other additional characters play their part and it is wonderful that some of those from the first two books make their appearance again in this one. Don’t miss out on a story that is exciting, mysterious, and entertaining. I would recommend reading it.

This is the book in this series, I enjoyed it just as much if not more than the previous stories. I highly suggest reading all of the books in this series. This is a story that is full of action and suspense. The twists and turns had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. Logan is back in this book with a new murder but this time it’s someone close to her. Lot 429 – is a partial of property that is in high demand. Everyone seems to want it but how far will they go to get it? As the story turns dangerous, a community trying to stop a murderer may just turn more deadly. Logan has been one of my favorite characters from the beginning. She is a strong character and really just makes the story for me. I have no problems connecting with her and the rest of the characters in the story. This is an easy, entertaining story and it made a great afternoon story. I highly recommend this book.

Let me start by saying, I enjoyed that this book took me back in time to the start of Vietnam and back to present day but I thoroughly enjoyed how it all came to tie together in a smooth way. I love Logan’s inquisitive nature and how she finds herself in these situations to help others. The author makes Logan come off just as human as the women that we are in real life which made me continue reading this second book of this series. I also love a good mystery and suspenseful story as this book was to draw me in as it was written well but the adventure keeps me at a smooth pace as well.

Forest Park: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 2 (The Logan McKenna Series) by Valerie Davisson. From page one I knew I was in for quite the adventure and I love every single minute I got to be lost in this story. It’s got everything I needed for a mystery story. I found myself on the edge of my seat more than once. Trying to balance wanting to read as fast as possible to see what happens next and wanting it to slow down a little because I wanted it to last longer. The characters are complex and relatable, they truly make this story worth every minute you maybe neglecting in the real world. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I love books that can take me by surprise and this author does just that. Excited to see where the author takes readers next. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

It’s summer, and with a new job, a new life, and plenty of time for her music, life couldn’t be better for Logan McKenna. She and her daughter, Amy, home from Africa, even rescue an orphaned sea otter pup and help nurse it back to health at Jasper’s new Sea Otter Center.

But powerful storm clouds soon begin to swirl around the center, threatening the lives of all who enter it. More than one person lays claim to the property and all want it badly—but for very different reasons.

The murder of someone close to Logan soon exposes deep layers of resentment, greed, and painful, personal loss. Only love, trust, and community will have any chance of stopping the killer, before more lives, including Logan’s own, are lost.

Fans of J.A. Jance, Elly Griffiths, Louise Penny, C. J. Box, James Patterson, Nevada Barr, Sue Grafton, and Alexander McCall Smith will love fiercely independent and loyal Logan McKenna.

This is the second book in the Logan McKenna mystery series. Once again we follow Logan as she decides on a love interest and if it’s too soon to get more series. And as she finds herself in yet another mystery to solve. This book has multiple storylines to follow, sometimes can be confusing but in the end it all comes together. Another good book by this author. I encourage you to read this book as well.

Forest Park, really, both books I have read of the Logan McKenna series so far have been the type of storyline you can’t stop thinking about. You know the kind where you finished the dishes so now you feel you should reward yourself with a few more pages?
This series reminds me of one of my favorites from a well known writer. Strong, admirable lead female, fast paced and interesting from start to finish.
One of the things I have come to like best about Valerie Davisson’s writing style is not only the attention to detail but her ability to showcase more than one point of view in the story. While the book is meant to be a mystery, there are a lot of deeper scenarios than just a cat and mouse thriller.
I am fairly new to this author and really look forward to reading more from her. Definitely a 4 star, recommended read from me.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book two in Davisson’s ‘The Logan McKenna Series’ and widowed Logan McKenna returns investigating another crime to help out friends. It can be read as a standalone story although if read in order the reader has more of an understanding of Logan’s backstory. This is an exciting story which has a fast paced storyline and I was hooked from the start. Logan is staying at a hotel in downtown Portland, Oregon when a violent explosion rocks the town and results in a women’s death. The incident has links to the last days during the Vietnam War and the choices made at that time, now those that ‘cheated death’ during the war are under threat. When Logan realises that the police are investigating the wrong suspects she undertakes her own investigations especially as two of her friends are on the polices suspect list. A homeless vet is also under suspicion and Logan has to uncover the truth amongst the secrets and lies to discover if any of them are innocent. Meanwhile Logan experiences an explosion of her own in regards to her personal life. No Spoilers, as I recommend you loose your self in this book. I felt totally immersed in the the story and enjoyed being back investigating with Logan, who is an independent and loyal heroine of the series. Logan McKenna is a very likeable and relatable character who holds the storyline together well. I found this to be a page turner of a novel, a real crime, thriller, murder mystery, and one which had me hooked from page one until the very last page.

Forest Park: Logan Book 2 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Forest Park is the second book in Valerie Davisson’s Logan McKenna series. I read the first book and I was sort of on the fence about it. When I finished the first book I said to myself that I am open to giving Logan another try and maybe it was my expectations that got the best of me so I did what I had told myself to do and picked up the second book of the series.
The opening scene in Vietnam in 1975 piqued my interest. I have always felt drawn to the stories that have something to do with Vietnam war so I was thinking to myself “interesting, let’s see what it has to do with Portland, Oregon in the present time”… Next we jump into the Valentine’s Day of 2014 and Logan is ready to take her relationship of six months to another level but Ben never makes it … as she is already in Portland then she gets a meal from the Vietnamese food truck and checks into the hotel … next there is an explosion and the old Vietnamese woman who she bought her meal from is no longer alive … Logan feels that she needs to get involved to find out what happened …
So this is sort of the baseline for the story and it could have been pretty good … the only thing is that there were way too many point of views that the writer jumped among and at some point I had to ask myself who was xxx and where does that person come in … the other thing that really messed with me was Logan’s obsession with her weight … ok, I get it is so important here in the US for some reason but it just felt at time way over the top, even the cats weight was something that was written the way that it caught my eye …
I mean the murder gets solved, not really with Logan’s help and the way …. Well … there are some great relationships and moments that took me where I expect great books to take me and that is the reason I do give the story 3 stars and feel that one could take a chance and read the story, just take your time and modify your expectations and you will experience some great moments!

This is the second book in the Logan McKenna series. It is a gripping story once you get into it. It takes a while to get going but its well worth sticking with it. There are some sensitive topics in this book which the author writes about in a sensitive and caring manner.

When there is an explosion near to the hotel Logan is staying out there are several suspects including two of her new friends.

As Logan tries to get to the bottom of what happened she finds she has a hard time knowing who to trust. Are her new friends trustworthy or are they lying to her? Who can and should Logan trust?

Forest Park: Logan Book 2 is the second book in this series which follows the life of Logan Mckenna’s life through her job as a school teacher and a part time sleuth.

The story is full of mystery and drama with Logan waiting for her new boyfriend to arrive at the hotel they have booked for their first interment moment but when she receives the phone call that he has to postpone the trip she carries on and books into the hotel room. Upon the day she meets a food truck owner and someone from there family while talking to them she strikes up a bond of sorts.

Back in her room she hears a boom and finds out that the truck has been blown up and the women who she met has been murdered. With her new found friendship she decides to investigate the murder which uncovers things from the past which the family wants keeped hidden.

This is the second book by this author I have read and the second book in this series, I enjoy the topics which have been chosen to be explored but the multiply POV’s sometimes gets a bit messy within chapters and sometimes within the same paragraphs which can get a little confusing and somehow dilutes the story. Within the story I don’t fully get the character of Logan at times I am rooting for her one minute but other times she gets a little annoying.

The story as I said itself is intriguing and draws you into the thriller and mystery aspect of the book, the story is well written and flows well. I am looking forward to reading the next book and see if Logan can get her lovelife back on track and what next adventure she can delve into.

Forest Park is the second book in the Logan McKenna Mystery series by Valerie Davisson. This is a great series and I recommend you read the series in order because the first book is a really excellent read. That being said you could read this book as a standalone and will know what is going on. This story gripped me from the very beginning and I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. The storyline is very detailed and the characters are well defined and relatable. The author deals with sensitive subject matter and does a good job with it. Thisis a great series that I highly recommend. I can’t wait to read the next book inthis series.

This is a much better story than that last one. I still struggled with too much descriptive narration. The story runs pretty slow in the beginning then really picked up during the last forty percent. The characters are good and I particularly enjoyed the part with the characters from Saigon. As well as GI Joes thoughts and struggles. I think they are my favorite characters in the story. I still struggled to connect with Logan. I think she is just so unassuming that’s it’s hard to think of her as a solver of mysteries. I think it was mentioned in here that she is just nosy. I would agree with that assessment. I did like her outlook on the school work.
Overall it’s a nice story.

In this second book following Logan, she is in the area when an explosion happens and of course wants to help.
I was hooked to the pages waiting for what was coming next and this didn’t disappoint. I’m not a huge fan of multi pov’s especially when they aren’t told who it is so that took some getting over for me but it didn’t take away from the story that much. I love the details, I feel everything come alive in my head. Not giving things away as I feel stories are best told where they belong, in the story.

Forest Park: Logan Book 2 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed reading Forest Park: A Logan McKenna Mystery book 2. Valerie Davisson has such attention to detail which makes this book enjoyable. This book Logan finds herself in Portland with new friends and an explosion happens. Logan wants to help with the investigation. I have to admit that I did not see that coming. Davisson wrote some big twists and turns that kept my attention. I thought I knew what I was going to happen and BAM there was a twist. I was going through everything with Logan. Will Logan be able to solve the mystery in time? The other characters make the story go forward. You will have to read the story to figure out what everyone goes through and what happened with the explosion.

Forest Park is the second book in The Logan McKenna Series by Valerie Davisson.
Even though this is only the second book in the series, our leading lady, Logan has been through quite a lot. This book sees her investigating another murder, this time with links to the Vietnam War. Logan will need to sort through all the secrets, half truths, drama, and history- to get to the bottom of it all. We also get a front row seat to her own life as she embraces her own new beginnings.
This is my favourite of the series so far.

Thank you, Valerie Davisson!

Davisson continues the Logan series with another fabulous detail packed story. I really appreciate the level of detail this author uses to describe her characters and the storyline progression. The imagery is so vibrant that I felt like I was walking with the characters through the story and was kept guessing as to what would happen next. I loved how the author drew me in and the adventure that unfolded. I look forward to seeing how the the series continues to develop!
