Hunting A Hometown Killer by Shelly Bell - 4 stars!


FBI Special Agent Rhys Keller’s biggest clue to the identity of the Composer is the music the killer has tattooed on each dead woman. No one knows the tune, until Julia Harcourt recognizes it as a piece, she’s written herself. The lovely violinist is also a perfect physical match to all the victims. For the hunt to finally end, Rhys needs Julia to risk everything to catch the killer, before the elusive killer catches her first.
This was a good romantic suspense romance filled with wonderful characters, a suspenseful plot that makes you sit at the edge of your seat, and a powerful romance that is both flawed and beautiful. I will recommend this series to anyone who loves edge of your seat romance. Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Romance for this advanced Reader's copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.

Gin and Daggers by Donald Bain and Jessica Fletcher - 4 stars!


Jessica Fletcher is off to London to deliver the keynote address at a mystery writers convention. She's also looking forward to seeing her mentor, Marjorie Ainsworth, who will be hosting a party at her country estate to celebrate her latest book. The routine business trip for Jessica becomes murderous when she discovers Marjorie stabbed to death in her own bedroom.
Murder She Wrote is one of the premier mystery shows ever. And this cozy mystery lives up to the show's reputation. Donald Bain was a master writer who understood what made Jessica tick. Reading this story is like watching an episode. The only problem I had was that Mort Metzger was never called Morton. The plot was confounding, and enjoyable. I recommend it to anyone who loved the show.
