I recently finished Behind a Closed Door by J.D. Barker - anyone who's ever used an app or linked their device might find this quite an interesting thriller

Now starting BLIND TO MIDNIGHT by Reed Farrel Coleman, the second novel in his new mystery/thriller series featuring NYPD detective Nick Ryan.

Endgame by Sarah Barrie is the fourth and probably last book in her Lexi Winter series. If it is, it's ended on a high!
Lexi is such a great character so I hope we do see her again sometime.

I read Invisible Helix by Keigo Higashino It is translated from Japanese. The author's books have been bestsellers in Japan. It is book 5 in the series, but worked for me as a stand alone. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Also, my wife read a book on her kindle reader that I have not read, but shows up on my list of read books, because she gave it 5 stars on her reader, linked to my GR account through Amazon. Her review of Under a Sunburnt Sky: An unforgettable story of heroism & love

My 3 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Now starting THE BIRDWATCHER by William Shaw, the first novel in his ongoing series set in England and featuring detective sergeant Alexandra Cupidi.

I’m reading The Last Coyote by Michael Connelly

I read Beartooth by Callan Wink It is a wilderness crime book, set near Yellowstone National Park. My 3.5 star rounded down review. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
If you are an animal lover, you would not like the graphic description of the bears being butchered.
Wilderness crime fans might like this book. Animal lovers would not.

I’m reading a book called The Last Move by Mary Burton

Now starting ALL THE SINNERS BLEED by S.A. Cosby, his latest stand alone mystery/thriller novel published in 2023.

The book won the Anthony, Macavity, and ITW Awards as the Best Mystery Novel of the Year and is a finalist for the Edgar, Steel Dagger, and Barry Awards in the same category with the winners still to be announced.

I read Cosby's two earlier novels last year and really liked them, although readers should know upfront that the subject matter is not for the squeamish.

Still working my way through J.D. Robb's In Death series featuring Detective Eve Dallas one book at a time. I may catch up one day in the distant future!

Celebrity in Death #34 (of 60 books) is a good one with the death of a cast member in the movie production of one of Eve's famous cases. Less dramatic than some but with an engrossing mystery and plenty of interaction between the main characters.
