The Deepest of Secrets by Kelly Armstrong ★★☆☆☆

A Murder of Quality by John LeCarré ★★☆☆☆

Come With Me by Ronald Malfi ★★★☆☆

When Aaron Decker loses his wife to a spree shooter he inherits her secrets, her obsession:  Allison had been hunting a serial killer.  

It felt like a dramatized version of Patton Oswalt’s life, but the epilogue indicates the author had more personal motives. 

I would like to say this was an exciting, or scary, story but it wasn’t.  Really, is there anything more boring, and depressing, than a serial killer targeting young women?

The epilogue gave him sympathy points otherwise it would have been an angry two stars.

The Puppet Show (Washington Poe #1) by M.W. Craven ★★★★★

“This wasn’t about justice, Poe. It was never about justice.”

Immortal in Death (In Death #3) by J.D. Robb ★★★★☆

The fatal gift of beauty.

A drug that combines ecstasy, cocaine, steroids, and skin rejuvenation is hitting the fashion industry. Just because the side effects are deadly doesn’t mean models won’t kill for it.

Ooooh this was good. If you liked The Silence of the Lambs and Huntress Moon you're going to love this! 

Chelsea Cain, my twisted sister, I want to read this whole series!

Fish & Chips (Cut & Run #3) by Abigail Roux, Madeleine Urban ★★★☆☆
