Private Eyes
This installment was a lot more detective mystery than thriller, which isn’t to say I did not enjoy it. This book was written in 1992 and certain thoughts and opinions still show through even with a reference to Magnum PI. Oh well all in all it was a good read with some interesting concepts /…

Blood Test
To start off, this is not YA and a few of the parts were definitely R rated. That said, I still am enjoying the thriller series. The descriptions are balanced without the author being too verbose but giving just enough detail to give you a clear image. To me the ending was a bit rushed…
