A Talent for Murder
by Peter Swanson

book cover


A great murder mystery in which we know who the serial killer is, but wonder at who will stop him and how. Without revealing too much, there is actually another murderer (or two) also. Filled with surprises. This book will definitely keep the reader reading!

This is such a wonderful book about family and the stories of childhood. The choices that were made 40 years ago and relationships in the present. Daphne meets up with someone she knew when she was a child and it made a big impact on her life. I don't want to give anything away. I listened to the audio book, read by the author.

I really enjoyed Defy Me because it had a good mix of action, romance, and emotional moments. The story answered some questions from the earlier books while introducing new mysteries that kept me interested. I also liked getting to see different characters' points of view because it helped me understand them better. The ending was exciting and made me want to start the next book right away. Overall, I thought Defy Me was a fun and engaging read, and it's one of my favorite books in the series so far.

I read several books regarding the the occupation of France during Wii every book I've read I still wonder how the world let this happen. Colette was a very strong woman who never gave up, to live all those years not knowing her sister had lived? the way the author wove them in to all be related at the end. Tristen was really Daniel Rosman. and Lucus as her sisters' son. as much as I enjoyed the book I Felt the end was tied up with a ribbon.

Good People

First and foremost this book is fiction and not true-crime. That being said, this book is written as a series of interviews designed to reveal the story of the Sharaf family. These interviews are not two way conversations, they are just the observations of the many many different voices that speak out. You will hear from friends, family, neighbors, school personnel, even people that have only crossed paths with the family once are included. What happened with the Sharaf family? Well, you'll have to read the book to find out.

She attracts the attention of a fan who turns out to be a stalker. Moving to a small town in Oregon, Arden begins a new life with family and new friends. But in the background her stalker is there. When will he strike again?

Origin

One of the best books I’ve read this year with an incredible ending. The plot twist was built up throughout the novel and when finally revealed, everything made sense. The moral of the story about the dangers of technology was artfully weaved into the plot that incorporated assassins and the literal secrets of how life originated and where it’s going. Winston is one of the best characters and he was essentially an AI chatbot, the puppeteer pulling the strings behind the scenes of all the humans.

It's Not Her

book cover


This book was terrible. I couldn’t stand to read one of the two narrators for almost the entire book. The story relies on the “Idiot Plot”. Meaning this story only works because all of the characters involved are morons. The level of paranoia and stupid decisions are too ridiculous even for fiction. The perpetrator doesn’t even make sense, since their motivation isn’t even legitimate since parts of the story made the justifications impossible. Avoid this book.
