The Nature of Disappearing
I was a huge fan of Kimi Cunningham Grant’s 2021 release These Silent Woods. I loved the mixture of beautiful writing and a complex father/daughter relationship. I was so excited to see what The Nature of Disappearing gave us. Once again, the debate about what should be considered a ‘Thriller’ has arisen. I love Thrillers,…
Every Time I Go on Vacation Someone Dies

If Something Happens to Me
Well, another night of lost sleep thanks to Alex Finlay making me binge a book. That’s probably more my lack of responsible adulting more than anything, but he’s still to blame. In Finlay’s signature style, he expertly weaves together multiple story lines, If Something Happens to Me is a twisty, page turning, action packed, and…

The Widowmaker
I read the first book in the Black Harbor series a few years back and remember loving the deary atmospheric feel of the book. I was surprised to find that our lead characters in the second installment were different from the first, and that the characters from Hello, Transcriber we hardly mentioned. For such a…
Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice
The Finlay Donovan series has been such a fun series to be a part of. Picking up right where Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun leaves off, and takes Finlay, Vera, and the crew straight to Atlantic city. As with all of these books, it’s ridiculous and over the top in all the best ways. In…
When I’m Dead
When I’m Dead is the newest installment in the Black Harbour series. As each book focuses on a different couple, these books don’t need to be read in order and can be read as standalones. However, as with many series like this, you get the most out of them when you read them in order….
Only If You’re Lucky
Another great mystery from Stacy Willingham to get the year started! After the death of a college student, Lucy Sharpe is missing.

The Expectant Detectives
Alice and her partner Joe are expecting! Having just moved to the sleepy village of Penton, renting a house sight unseen that is barely habitual, the two are barely ready to dive into parenthood. In an effort to get their life together, the two sign up for a prenatal class. But when a man is…
