Then She Was Gone



4/5
Very different then what I as expecting. I don’t know about others but it did put me through the emotional ringer. A lot of this book was predictable but still kept my interest and I still wanted to see what happens next.

Was a quick read and told from different viewpoints. Which kept it interesting. Loved the ending how clever Ellie was to let someone know where she was. Definitely recommend. I will be reading more of her books.

Stranger in the House




4/5
Wow, was not expecting this book to be as good as it was. Several twists and an ending that leaves you speechless.

I read her book the couple next door but this one is even better. Has the same two detectives as well. They are not a series as far as I know and that makes it better to me.

Definitely worth the read. Kept me guessing till the end.

The Perfect Mother






4/5
This was a pretty good book. No major twists or turns but a few surprises. It make you think about us as a society and how media can effect our view and opinions. At least me anyway I did like the nice surprise of Token. Did I guess who did it ? Actually no I did not.so that was good as well. It did keep me guessing if Winnie did it. Which is also a good thing. Overall I liked the book. Just wished it had more of twists and turns.

The Sleeping Beauty Killer




3/5
This one seemed long. It’s was all over the place with Laurie not having the same host. The ending I liked but was a bit predictable. I wanted to read all of this series one right after another but I think I’m gonna complete the series at a later date

A Dressed in White





3/5
This one was a little different then the others. Instead of a murder it’s a case of a missing bride. Liked that. Also instead of two story lines or bad guys there was only one. I have to say I am enjoying this series and you don’t have to read them in order. Liked it also takes place in Florida and the family is from NC. That was kinda fun. I do like how each one has it’s own feel and not the same as the others.

The Cinderella Murder




Round up to 3 1/2
This one was just as good as the first one in the “Under Suspicion” series. I liked the extra thrill to it. Was a nice easy read with a little bite to it. I did not like they killed off one of the characters that I really liked. He was not a main characters as in the team but I still liked him. I guess it was a necessary evil. All the great characters from the last book carried on to this one. That was a good thing as well.

I've Got You Under My Skin





I liked this book as I usually like Mary Higgins Clark books. Nice easy read. Interesting that there were actually two bad guys. Think this added to the story. Kept me interested and had a good pace. I did figure out who did it or at least one of them. The characters were likable and asi read the series, I hope they stay that way.

The Alice Network




3.5 stars rounded up.
This was a hard book to rate for me. I liked the characters, especially Eve. Liked the story. Liked how with each character they became stronger, especially when they were together. I cheered, I worried, and I laughed. I liked how everything was tied together and the last piece was placed. Loved that women were also in the spy network and men were so unsuspecting. Overall I liked the book.

The problem ? The book seemed long. It kept my attention and I liked it. Just seemed long.
