Dear Ms Griffin, You impressed me with your response to my review of your previous book, “One Wrong Step.” When I finished it, I wasn’t sure I would care to read another of your books. But your email offering me a copy of “Thread of Fear” sparked my interest because a) of your gracious offer(…)

Dear Ms. Kittredge, When I read your debut novel, Night Life, I’m afraid I found myself among that group of readers who considered your heroine Luna Wilder abrasive, obnoxious, and borderline stupid. But even so, the Nocturne City setting stuck with me and while I felt that I might not be a perfect reader-writer match(…)

Dear Ms. Spencer-Fleming, My friend Keishon has been telling me for years to read this book. She’s a huge fan of your series featuring Episcopalian priest Clare Fergusson and police chief Russ Van Alstyne. Now that I’ve read In the Bleak Midwinter, the first book in the series, I can see why. The mystery at(…)

Dear Ms. Spencer-Fleming As I blogged a couple of days ago, this series has been a long time favorite of friend and fellow reader, Keishon. I trust Keishon’s judgment quite a bit. She’s led me to read some wonderful mystery authors. However, I long held back from reading this series because of the relationship dynamic(…)

Dear Mr. Lanyon: I don’t ordinarily look for gay fiction but in at the urging of Teddy Pig I picked up the Adrien English Mysteries which is a two novella* collection featuring the titular character, Adrien English, a gay bookstore owner and mystery writer with a bad heart, whose situation forces him into sleuthing. These(…)

Dear Ms. Stewart: I was really grateful to find your book on my doorstep. I admit that I had stopped buying your books when they went to hardcover because of cost and then I would forget to buy the book when it came out in paperback. This is kind of sad on my part because(…)

Dear Ms. Green, I read and enjoyed the first novel in this Hunstmen world last year. And despite being for the most part paranormaled out, when you mentioned that there would be sequels to come, I was excited. Here’s a world that is radically different from most paranormals out there and one which was fairly(…)

Dear Ms. Banks: As I explained in my previous review, I hadn’t expected to read you again based upon my past experiences, but this book hit my doorstep at just the right time. I had had a rough day at work and just wanted to lay down on the sofa for a few hours and(…)

Dear Ms. Roberts: I discovered the In Death series almost 20 books in (at the publication of Portrait in Death), so I had the opportunity to read a big chunk of Eve and Roarke’s story all at once. I was immediately and completely caught up in the fictional futuristic world, from the tumultuous adventure of(…)

Dear Ms Pillow, I’d seen your name while browsing through ebook sites but since most of the books appeared to be paranormals I usually kept right on scrolling. Then Jane sent me a batch of arcs and review books and I saw one was yours. “Oh,” I thought, “I wonder why Jane sent me a(…)

Dear Ms. Ellison: November is a “new to me” month where I read about 10 authors that I had never read before. Yours was one of them. All the Pretty Girls is a romantic suspense book with a unique twist. The couple is already dating when the book starts. I think this is a great(…)

Dear Ms. Rose: This may be a week of talking about under appreciated gems. You consistently put out strong suspense stories with an qually strong romance. I also appreciate the thematic approach to have your books. Die for Me‘s theme was families–the families that we create and the families we are born with. Regardless of(…)

To some extent, I think I am a book title snob and thus I hadn’t bought any of those Big Guns/Bad Boys Anthologies. I mean, come on . . . Who wants to be seen reading one of those books! (Apparently lots because I think they sell really well). I’m glad I read Big Guns(…)

Dear Ms. Robb: I left off the last book feeling vaguely unhappy with how little Eve seems to give in the relationship with Roarke. This book is my comeuppance. Every book in the In Death series has had a good mystery and police procedure is one of my favorite genres. Not every one, however, leaves(…)

Dear Ms. Rose: Having read four of your six releases, I feel confident in saying that you consistently deliver a good suspense with a believable romance. You regularly villianize certain professionals (defense lawyers and journalists), but your provocative themes along with strong characterizations make for a non stop reading adventure. Tess Ciccotelli is a psychiatrist(…)
