I think not, author Ava Glass skipped slow and headed right into action from the first chapter and did not let up until the conclusion! Very well written- settings, character development and a twisty tight plot that reads like an incredible James Bond movie! (I can just hear the music in the background.)
Emma Makepeace, our heroine, has a mission to find the killer of one of their M16 secret agents. They suspect the Russians, but they need more proof so Emma heads undercover to work on a gorgeous yacht. I really like Emma she is highly intelligent, but her ways of thinking resonate so well. This fast paced suspense/mystery novel is action packed and has quite a few surprises in store!
Now I need to go find Alias Emma, the first part of the series. The Traitor read as such an outstanding standalone that I did not realize there was another book until I looked up the author's bio. So, it is fine to read on its own!...more

You Can Trust Me by Wendy Heard is a well written, tightly woven story of two realistic main characters that are authentic and honest even when they are conning someone out of money. Definitely recommend! Flips back and forth between the past and the present, while building the tension so that the writer knows a confrontation is coming but isn't sure of the outcome!...more

The family lost their beloved Meg and now they have this one night to find out what really happened. Such a suspense novel wrapped up in family drama and who actually killed Meg. I really liked the layers in this read, complex characters and a plot that moves swiftly toward a dramatic ending! Definitely the setting was interesting, weaving the storyline between past and present was seamless, and the characters were astonishing in how developed they are!
Cross has a way of allowing the character to unravel so that the reader sees under the surface and into the heart and mind of a killer....more
