In "Deadly Decisions" by Kathy Reichs, Temperance Brennan is caught in a complex case involving a biker gang and the murder of young girls.

While the book's premise has potential, the execution and character development fall short.
The Face of Deception by Iris Johansen is a captivating start to the Eve Duncan Series.

However, the book's action-packed second half and the dynamic between Eve and John Logan make for an overall enjoyable read.
In "Secrets to the Grave" by Tami Hoag, the Oak Knoll series continues with Anne, Vince, and Tony facing a complex murder mystery. The book delves into the characters' relationships and trauma, weaving a dark and twisty narrative. Anne's kindness puts her in peril again, adding layers to the suspense. The gripping plot earns a 7.5/10 rating, with the reviewer expressing both enjoyment and some reservations. The mystery unfolds dynamically, keeping readers engaged, though certain character choices and outcomes provoke mixed feelings. Overall, "Secrets to the Grave" offers a hard-hitting murder mystery with intense twists.
"Petal to the Metal" by Annabel Chase is a cozy mystery about Mia Thorne who, after a series of personal mishaps, moves into her deceased Aunt Hazel's home. Mia finds both friendship and potential romance there, while uncovering her clairvoyant abilities and a murder mystery she feels compelled to solve.
