The Silenced Women- Review

⭐
DNF at 52%. 
I really wanted to finish this book - I was intrigued by the murder of Elise. There just wasn't enough to interest me enough to finish it. 
A young woman is found on a bench - posed as sleeping,  wrapped in a blanket. 
Mahler has been haunted for years by a series of related murders - not enough evidence to prove the suspect was even at site let alone a conviction.  
Somers is a new hire - from the FBI BAU. 
Elise has been dating a rich older man for a few months- her roommate barely knows Elise. Her previous roommate has some information to share. Suffering from bipolar,  Elise was all over the place - drugs, men, alcohol.  
I appreciated Mahler as a realistic character.  Suffering from migraines,  haunted by a victim,  losing his patience at work and yelling at his staff - all relatable.
Somers broke a cold case - finding a detail overlooked. Now she's haunted and terrified the killer will come for her - Somers hides in this small community,  picking apart the unsolved murders.  
Thackery, Elise's mystery man and killer, is a psychopath who kills his girlfriends. 
It just didn't hold my interest.

Migration Event - Book Tour

Migration Event K C Gillis  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #migrationevent #kcgilliswriter #environmentalthriller #thriller #suspense #mustread #jordanreed #zooloobooktours This book is well researched, planned and executed. It immediately made me think of the Pelican Brief by John Grisham.   An environmental thriller that sucks you in, includes massively rich men and politicians.   Jordan receives a random tip about a wealthy man evading tariffs.  As she digs deeper, Jordan learns no one knows why this man bought a failing solar panel company.  Maggie is a die hard conservationist, with connections all over the world. Migrating dowitchers are literally falling dead from the sky. An autopsy reveals a specific metal poisoning. Found in solar panels.  Great suspense, lots of characters to keep the plot moving.

The Stars Among us - Blurb

It was almost nine. Nora and Lucas both had to get up in six hours’ time, so they finished their drinks and decided to call it a night. Lucas didn’t want Nora to walk home alone to what he joked looked like a slum apartment. He thus accompanied her to the official hotel drivers, who were stationed in the alley behind the building. They were laughing because Lucas was telling the story of how Handmaids 1 and 2 had got into a fight that day over who would pass the bottle of water to him, not realising that he understood what they were saying. So they didn’t notice Dan until they bumped into him. He gave them a quick and curious once-over, and then launched into usual mode. “Well, well, so this is why you couldn’t come out for a drink with me?” he observed snarkily. “No, Dan, I didn’t go for a drink with you because I like spending my time with people who mean something to me, and you don’t,” she retorted sharply, only noticing after the event that she had accidentally said that Lucas was...

Malevolent Nevers  Tim Rimer ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Abel Ward left his home as soon as he could.  Just about twenty years later, his high school crush, Daisy,  calls. His great aunt Elma is quickly declining.  Si simply wants to spend his time with his bestie and girlfriend,  Mags. Instead he's forced to tag along with his dad.  They call to Si - in his dreams, in his thoughts they call his name.  Elma recites the age old rhyme.  The nevers calling for the blood of the promised Ward. Abel chooses to bury her - and the nightmare begins.   Creepy.  Violent creatures.  Lots of goo. An old Victorian house. And a family legacy to protect the town. Great read. #horror #creepybook #malevolentnevers #timrimer #zooloobooktours #shadowsparkpub #book #booktour #bookrecommendations
