This murder mystery is a great read.  Ron Lamont has the ability to make you look one way while giving you a written slight of hand.  The diversionary(or are they?)plot twists will keep you guessing to the very end. Well done sir!

A murder mystery set in Ireland that will keep you guessing till the end. Author John J. Gaynard's "Another Life" tells the story of a troubled family the Prendergasts, Peter the eldest son, Brian the troubled younger brother who spent many years in prison for murder, and their mother.

Peter and Brian have never seen eye to eye, and their is much resentment toward Brian by Peter when the older brother is forced to run the family farm, and pay the bills while his brother was away in prison.

Peter returns home after having a few drinks at the bar, to find the police waiting for him. His mother and brother have been viciously attacked , and  Peter is the prime suspect.

The mystery takes another strange turn when the younger Brian is murdered in his hospital bed, and again Peter becomes the focus of the police investigation, as he had a small window of opportunity to commit the crime, and his fingerprints are found on the murder weapon.

Helped along the way by Father Patrick Keane, and Peters friends from the local bar, they set out to try to prove Peters inocence.

Was the murderer Peter? members of the religious cult that Brian help found? or perhaps  revenge by members of the family that lost their son at the hands of Brian years ago? You will have to pick up a copy to find out, but you will be surprised with the answer.

A well written very descriptive murder mystery that I recommend to all

A great murder mystery, kept me wondering if the bad guy would ever get caught. Did a great job of making the characters real. From a Christian point of view, managed to weave much biblical passages into the story, including The Gospel on what a person must do in order to be saved. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book.  It is a page turner.  It's a great mystery with a likable heroine.  It proves a good story can be told without blood, gore and excessive violance and sex.  The author gives you just enough information to keep you wanting to read without giving away the ending.  The characters are likable.  Even the less savory ones.  I like to think of it as Nancy Drew for adults.  I only hope Karen Pullen is as prolific as Mildred Benson.  I look forward to her next novel.

SHELDON Slegel is a master of intrigue and suspense. As you read You begin to think you've got it figured out. WRONG! I could not read fast enough, eager to learn who the killer was. A really great murder mystery.

If you love a good murder mystery this book is for you.  The Author did a wonderful job of keeping the suspence going. This book is different in a good way because the main character O'Reilly isn't perfect. He makes mistakes and gets himself into trouble and makes you wonder why he did that. He's funny has great one liners and relateable because he's like a regular guy not a super P.I. that does everything perfect all the time.  I loved that the book was set in Kansas since I live there.  It was fun to read about places I knew about and have been before.  Can't wait for Fields of Death to come out in November.  Will definately have to have it to see what adventure O'Reilly will be on next.

Ladle to the Grave was a great read.  It grabs you right from the beginning with a murder in the first chapter.  The book kept me engrossed all the way to the end.  The author had me guessing who did it all the way to the end.  This book is # 4 in a series but can definitely be a stand alone book.  I know I will be going back to read the rest of the books in the series.  This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

This whodunit is a fun read as we follow Louis, who has had to return from America to Tolosa in France, his ancestral home and also the town where his now late father was mayor. His father's passing was unexpected and considered a murder, however the local police and press seem only interested in the allegations of corruption of his father's office, not finding a murderer.

Louis frustrated by all he left behind for a peaceful existence away from family is now being roped in to take political office, but happenstance meets Catherine, a British journalist, who is sent gruesome clues to the murder and smells a great story.

The duo pair up to unravel the mystery behind the killer, each carrying their respective emotional baggage, with twists and turns along the way. I particularly enjoyed revisiting my school French, which wasn't as rusty as I thought it would be. I thought the French phrases enhanced my enjoyment of reading this crime thriller.

This is a great mystery. People are being killed all across the country by the same person. How are they connected? Some are men, some women, older couples and young people. They has to be a common thread somewhere that is putting them together. Mike Posten is receiving calls that tell him who and where the next victim is going to be before the bodies are found. Is this the killer or an informant? Victoria Santos leds a group of FBI agents in trying to find and stop the killing. The book takes many twist and turns, it ties people to the killer in ways you can not think of. It will hold your attenion. You may not sleep to secure for a night or two but it is a good book.

I joined Goodreads to become acquainted with some new authors, I was lucky enough to win this book.  This is the first book that I have read, which was written by Gregory Harris.  I was notably impressed.  Colin Pendragon is an interesting character, who seems to love the chase of a mystery.  I enjoyed reading about this murder in a monastery and, the steps that Mr. Pendragon took to solve it.  Throw in another murder and it all seems in a days work for this sleuth.  His sidekick (and partner in life), Ethan Pruitt, helps to investigate and keep things down to earth.  I recommend this book if you enjoy murder mysteries.

I was ready for this nutcase to be put away shortly into the story.  The first murder was especially detailed in how it came about and I didn't know if I could continue.  The idea of an obsessed person killing just to show the world that he could is sometimes beyond my ability to realize who and what is out there.  The Renzi character is believable and makes a good person to base a book series on.  This is my second Susan Fleet book.  I am reading her to learn more about flow and dialogue in mystery series.  I am not bored with her work so far and find stories fast and moving.

I definitely enjoyed this book. It's been a while since I've read a mystery novel that had a slight noir feel to it from the name of the main character to the case and to the group of suspects. It was really cool trying to figure out who the murderer was.

I am definitely interested in reading more Corman Strike cases.

This was a very entertaining mystery set in the cloistered world of academia written by a private school insider. The story is fast paced, and the characters in this privileged group are well developed, flaws included. The ending is shocking yet believable. For anyone who wants to understand the inner workings and politics of a private school with a  shadowy twist, this is a great read.

A great read, especially for those who love a good murder mystery. The characters are rich and multifaceted, and the story line was meticulously planned out.  I kept thinking I knew who the killer was, but then would change my mind because things just didn't add up. I was still guessing right up to the last chapter. I loved the platonic relationship that developed between Strike and Robin as the story progressed. I very much hope that "Robert Galbraith" will continue to delight us with more great detective tales featuring this unlikely duo. I highly recommend The Cuckoo's Calling to anyone who enjoys an intelligent, funny, well written murder mystery.

A great whodunit from Agatha Christie. I thought the narrator did a good job at bringing the characters to life.

A romping murder mystery that keeps you hanging on every word and turning every page. The author has a gift for timing, dialogue, and setting, and her characters come alive and keep us guessing in this fast-paced mystery set in the scenic seaside village of Potters Pond, Rhode Island. A very good read!
