Crime / Thriller

Saint Justice — Mike Grist

Ex-CIA agent Cristopher Wren stumbles upon a warehouse in the boondocks of Utah stockpiled with baby formula, multi-vitamins, and sets of adult-sized clothing – everything you need to keep a human alive. He also finds a massive cage. A cage this size is only built for one purpose. Humans. With on-point metaphors, suspenseful action scenes, and psychological twists, Saint Justice fully deserves a 5-star rating and will not disappoint.

Crime / Thriller · Mystery

Shamus Dust: Hard Winter, Cold War, Cool Murder — Janet Roger

I was hooked almost immediately and loved following Newman as he unraveled the mystery. I have the utmost appreciation for Roger’s writing; I could almost feel the level of attention that was given to each sentence, and it did not disappoint. Readers of mystery and crime will love this post-WWII, extremely rewarding murder mystery

Historical Fiction

The Warramunga’s Aftermath of War — Greg Kater

Despite the lackluster writing style, it was an entertaining story, and I had fun following Jamie and Jacko as they tracked down the perpetrators. Although this book mainly focused on terminating the pedophile ring, there is a little of something for everyone. Jamie’s love interest takes center stage for a bit, and there are plenty of post-WWII facts to keep history buffs interested

Mystery

House of Eire — June Gillam

Although the book started out strong, the middle chunk of the book describing their vacation to Ireland, as well as the unrealistic and unresolved ending, disrupted my enjoyment of the book and prevented me from giving it a higher rating. Though this book did not resonate with me personally, I feel others will likely enjoy the mystery and relate to the dynamic main characters.

Crime / Thriller

Devil in False Colors — Jack Winnick

Devil in False Colors begins with a brutal attack on a Jewish pre-school in Orange County, California. Jack Winnick has provided readers with a fictional, but terrifyingly realistic, novel that draws on extremely relevant topics in today’s media. His daring plotline and look into the minds of radical terrorists had me not wanting to put the book down. I recommend this book to those who enjoy political thrillers, crime, and action.
