Hold onto your hats folks because this is one wild ride from the past to the present! Secrets, revenge, and lies are the name of the game! Sheryl Browne delivered once again with One More Lie! Just when I thought I had everything all figured out, Browne showed me that I was wrong, wrong, wrong! I love it when that happens. What a clever, well thought out, well written, and captivating mystery!

Friends gather on the beach for an end of the year celebration, unfortunately, a shy newcomer to their group (Pippa) is found dead the next morning. Twenty years have passed since Pippa’s death, and another member of the group has been found dead…

One More Lie is chock full of tension, dread, questions, secrets, suspicion, and blame. I enjoyed watching the group slowly begin to look at each other in new lights. Wondering what happened to Pippa on the beach all those years ago, and who is behind what is happening now. The book is told through the POV of several characters with Becky being the main POV given in this riveting mystery.

I enjoyed the mounting suspense as the book grew to its shocking close. This book had a fair number of twists and turns along the way which is always a plus for me. This was my 6th book by Sheryl Browne, and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.

Whew! Talk about being kept on your toes and fully invested!!! Her Housekeeper was gripping, shocking, tense, and twist filled. Samantha Hayes takes readers on a wild ride in this riveting psychological thriller! I thought I had things figured out in this book, but I was wrong, wrong, wrong! Samantha Hayes carefully and expertly crafted a twisted tale that I did not want to put down!

Gina, Matt, and their two young children find themselves in need of a place to stay after a fire at their home. When Gina’s friend, Annie, offers them the use of her home, they can’t refuse. When a woman shows up saying she is the housekeeper. Annie who is out of town, confirms that Mary, the woman at the door is her housekeeper, they let her in…..

I loved the tension in this book. I thought Samantha Hayes did a great job depicting Gina’s sense of unease and doubt that arose during her interactions with Mary. I could almost see the hairs on the back of her neck standing up as she questioned Mary’s intentions and motives. I also enjoyed the POV of both Mary and Gina. What a nice touch!

As I mentioned, this book has a nice number of secrets, suspense, tension, and twists. I love books which keep me guessing and Her Housekeeper did that and then some! I look forward to reading what Samantha Hayes writes next!

A Blizzard is on the way but that won’t stop a killer from taking the lives of two people and kidnapping a boy named Teddy! Hold onto your hats folks, because things are about to get dicey! Taken in the Cold is gripping, shocking, well thought out, captivating and tense. I loved the atmosphere. There is something about books which take places in snowy settings that get me every time. I love the chilling atmosphere and tension it provides. This book has a pulse pounding mystery and I was there for it every step of the way.

In Taken in the Cold, Agent Tori Hunter and Detective Braddock have their hands full. There is more going on than meets the eye in this book. As they dig deeper and follow leads, they learn that there is more to be learned as embezzlement also comes into play.

I loved the mystery and the investigation. I enjoyed getting both of their perspectives as they did their investigative work. This is not an easy case, but they pour everything they have into it. I love a well thought out plot and Roger Stelljes nailed it! He had me turning those pages, fully invested and wanting more.

This worked very well as a stand-alone book for me. I have recently listened to the first book in the series, Silenced Girls and thought it was extremely well done. It piqued my interest and when I saw this book was coming out, I jumped at the opportunity to read Taken in the Cold! I was thrilled that I did. I found this book to be well written, well thought out, perfectly plotted and full of tension.

I had both the audiobook and the kindle edition of the book which made for a fully immersive reading experience. I thought the narration on the audiobook was very well done. I am looking forward to reading more of Roger Stelljes books in the future!

Gripping, tense, atmospheric, and riveting!
