In the interest of full disclosure, I would like to make it known that this is the first murder mystery that I have read. Due to my unfamiliarity with this genre, I admit that I may not be fully skilled in appreciating the nuances. I think it’s important to note that this book contains descriptionsRead More

Susan reviews Hunter's Way by Gerri Hill
Hunter’s Way by Gerri Hill revolves around two homicide detectives: Tori Hunter and Samantha Kennedy. They are the classic opposites buddy-cop duo: Hunter is aggressive and antagonistic, burning through six partners in seven years but apparently being a good enough detective alone to make up for it. Samantha Kennedy is on the surface a muchRead More
Megan Casey reviews Dirty Work by Vivien Kelly
Jo Summers is kind of a social worker. She is the office manager of a London hostel for the disadvantaged. I’m not sure we have the equivalent in the U.S—halfway house, maybe—but the residents of her house are ex-drug addicts, ex-prostitutes, or abused men and women who have been approved to live in inexpensive housing untilRead More
Megan Casey reviews Megan Casey reviews Command of Silence, by Paulette Callen
After reading only a few chapters of this book, I wondered why it was not a best seller. It has all the trappings of one. Think of the play Elephant Man: it is a less-than-wonderfully-written play, but the subject matter guarantees it a wide audience just as a train wreck guarantees a gaggle of rubberneckers.Read More
Megan Casey reviews Red Rover by Liz Bugg
I confess that I like this book a little more than I originally thought I would. Maybe it’s because I liked the design and feel of the Insomniac paperback version, which is very easy on the eyes. Or maybe it was the very professional pace that Bugg was able to adhere to throughout. I alsoRead More

Because of her urgent concern about violence against women, she alsoRead More
Whitney D.R. reviews Goslyn County by AM McKnight
This was a labor, and not one particularly of love. I really wanted to read this because it was two black women, one a detective, the other an FBI agent–both lesbians– falling love as they solve a joint case. I love a good cops/FBI crime book and then to add older Black lesbians, which isRead More
Susan reviews 1st Impressions by Kate Calloway
First Impressions by Kate Calloway is the first in the Cassidy James series, about a lesbian private investigator hired to find out who murdered the most loathed man in town… by the prime suspect. Cassidy James is our heroine, a former teacher who moved out to Cedar Hills and trained as a private investigator afterRead More
