THE GHOST WIVES by Kate Wiley

4* Different, but equally good. 

So, Margot's still on the trail of the guy who's buried kill buckets all over the country. And maybe at the end of the book, there are 2 breakthroughs. One down to the victim he let live, one down to his wife, the woman he knows he cannot kill. His mental state is in kill-fantasy overdrive and yet his life is about to change. Bigly. And it's scary what that might mean. But we won't know more until the next book.

The main part of the tale, and I dived in without reading the blurb, was to do with an evil 'prophet' of the church of LDS and their version of religion and what the Lord says, but also to do with plain evil, faux prophets, tradwives, the cash cow that Insta can be, and serial killer* ...*can't spoiler. The tale is horrifying in how brainwashed some of these people are, and in how manipulative the 'prophet' is. And something truly, truly terrifying happens to Margot, and tbh, I'm stunned that she didn't break down more. 

Margot did what Margot does best - besting a serial killer and getting into his head. And Q, the new guy to their team, saves the day. I mean, he literally does. She's also got her brother on her mind, but he's disappeared. Alana knows what Margot suspects David of, but nothing more has happened. Until the end of the tale's cliffhanger. 

The book has several storylines, several locations and several timelines, but it wasn't  hard to keep up with it. I think my only frustration was starting to see the percentage-read count go up and realising a big old bombshell drop and resolution wasn't going to happen in this book. Thank goodness KW is pretty prolific. This is one of the best series out there, and I'm so glad she didn't leave Margot back in her previous series.

HER BEAUTIFUL LIFE by Brianna Labuskes

4* What a read. Started off with something mundane, turned into something totally shocking. I wasn't sure I'd like this tale of a former roomie/bestie going to interview a trad wife, some 10/11 years after their lives diverged, following a fallout, for a celebrity piece. I was a bit surprised at the lack of awkwardness and tension between the former friends, and didn't expect the tension from the actual eventual source. I absolutely didn't expect the plot, which was really, really well done, if you can cope with the plotting, the (occasionally) flawed rationale, the not-really-likable journalist/writer, Holland, and the iceberg-type trad wife, Cat/Catriona. Add in various very, very good red herrings (staff, scared kids, a creepy teen, a domineering husband, a mysterious death - still not clarified at the end, cops that don't have big-city cop instincts or mistrust, mental health, a possible psychopath), and you have a very, very well-done, well- dovetailed tale tha...

IRONWOOD by Michael Connelly

3.5* It plods, but it's detailed and the lead guy, Stil, has a cop's instinctive intuition. But, the ending is REALLY annoying. There's nothing too overt about this tale, although if I mentioned a single noun, I'd be giving the whole thing away. But it's a good police procedural if only for Stil, exiled to a backwater that cops go to if they've been deemed to have messed up. I don't recall his back-story, but there's back-story to the guy who gets...'killed' at the start, leading to a cold-case team and the FBI getting involved. There's posturing and veiled threats from higher-ups, but Stil is pretty adept at climbing out of windows, literally, to get out and do what needs to be done to get the bad guys. Ish. The 'ish' is where the book loses 1.5* for me, because all that footwork, all that putting himself in danger, all that following the trail of breadcrumbs and finding the bakery, and the book ends as it does?? Unsatisfying. Not un...

TELL ME HER NAME by Kate Wiley

5* That KW is such a prolific writer makes me forgive the utter cliffhanger this 1st tale in Margot Phelan's new series ends in. Though this tale comes out around 6 months after the 5th and last book in the original Margot Phelan series, it starts 6 years later. Margot and Wes are settled about 3 hours outside of San Francisco and she's still working for law enforcement, now for the FBI manager that'd wanted to poach her, Andrew. A guy she's got a complex relationship with. Wes is a sports coach and part-time volunteer local law enforcement officer. They're raising rescue dogs, cats and chickens, living a quiet life. They're happy, she's off the booze, more trusting and learning to not be paranoid and listen to her late dad's teachings. She's succeeding with some but not all, which in fact, ends up helping her out professionally and personally. In some ways, she's her father's daughter and always will be. It's her superpower. Then Wes get...
