Killer
Alex Delaware at it again. Tracking down another killer. I did enjoy this novel. This was an interesting twist as it ties to his work for once, but not just because it is a psychosis. The pacing is perfect and kept me going chapter after chapter. Lots of twists to keep you guessing. If you’re…

Guilt
Jonathan Kellerman is back on pace and this Alex Delaware novel is no exception. To be honest, I was waiting for a twist that never came in the end simply because of stuff pointed out earlier in the book. Almost feels like they got the wrong killer. But it was a good one and the…

Schoolhouse Mystery
The Alden children are at it again. I was delighted to find this little nugget. While a lot of the stories feel forced or unnaturally coincidental, this is the second that made me sit up and notice. Albeit nothing about the reading level / simplicity of the Boxcar Children novels changes with this story, it…

Dodger
This is a must read. What would Robin Hood or Aladdin be at a much later date and in the London. If you are looking for a Terry Pratchett novel that is a historical fantasy but does not lack his storytelling ability. If you want to be swept up in the world of old England’s…

Victims
A good old fashion serial killer on the loose. Bodies are piling up and they are gruesome at that. Twists and turns lead us deep into the dark past that holds the answers to who is doing this. As with the last novel Kellerman is back on his game and you cannot help but get…

Mystery
Finally I feel like we are back to normal in the chronicles of Alex Delaware. This book has what several of the last ones lacked. I am truly excited to see where the next one leads us. Is this an adult themed novel? Yes. Language? Yes. Enjoyable? a big yes. If you have followed this…

Mountain Top Mystery
The Boxcar children are at it again. How could a simple hike turn into an ordeal? I am thinking they grew up and went on a “3 hour boat ride” But I still have a clear favorite. The series is interesting enough to keep going, however I am very grateful the books are short.

The Lighthouse Mystery
Albeit I was delighted with the last boxcar children. This was back to the normal. Not that I dislike these little middle reader books. It was a cute one where the lighthouse was the least part of the whole mystery. It was just setting. But that is ok. There is still strange goings ons and…

The Woodshed Mystery
So far of The Boxcar Children novels, this one has been my favorite. This is a fun mystery that feels a lot more historically accurate than previous books. It also felt like the author is starting to catch their stride. The pacing was spot on and the dialogue a little less cheesy. Considering everything, I…

The Palm Beach Murders
This is a collection of three short stories by three different authors and published under James Patterson’s name. I rate the stories #3 as best, #1 as significantly second, #2 I would rate at the bottom of all stories I have read. And I would strongly recommend it to author friend to learn the best…
