"He and Cody rode the elevator down, went to the parked Jeep, and got inside. Jake turned on some music, "Long December" by Counting Crows. Listening to the lyrics, he though of people he cared about who'd gone into hospitals and died there."
Jake Wolfe is back for Book 3 in this series. Life has changed for Jake. From a photojournalist, to investigator, and now a lawyer. The war veteran is trying to lead a quiet life on his boat, with dog, Cody. The CIA requires just a little more from him. Working for the good guys will come with a hefty price. One of my favorite parts of this series is the dog. He just adds to Jake’s life in a way that no one else can. You can’t help but love Jake and Cody’s connection. Cody’s vet Sarah? The one Jake took to in the last book, is she still part of their lives? This story brings us to a serial killer that has managed to draw Jake into his tangled mess. Creating a situation that Jake, and those he loves, may not be able to survive. Putting his investigative skills back into use as a U.S. Marshal may save his life, but will it get him out of this mess? With Cody by his side, Jake is on the hunt for the man nicknamed the “Random Killer.”Jake is out to help as many people as he can. The character feels genuine. He’s not in it for the glory, he’s in it to genuinely make the world a better place. He’s one of the good guys, and everyone he comes in contact with is better for it, except the criminals. I can see this series continuing for many more books. Will Jake and Cody find the “Random Killer” before he finds them? Will Sarah decide if Jake is the man for her? Cody has his own little side story going on. You’ll have to read this book to find out! I absolutely love this series! Thank you Mark Nolan

"Bridgette studied the photo board of the two bodies in the cave as she waited in Ray Warner's office. As she looked at each image, she was drawn back to that afternoon less than a week ago when she was ferried out to the island by boat. She felt a shiver run down her spine as she recalled the dank, claustrophobic conditions of the watery tomb."......Detective Cash is back in Book 3 of this “Bridgette Cash Mystery Thriller.” This time Bridgette is investigating two bodies found in an underwater cave. There’s still some disharmony in the office for Bridgette. The story about her personal life follows her into this book, and picks up where Book 2 left off. Once again she doesn’t let the “powers that be” rattle her. I like this about her character. Assigned a new partner after the death of her last one, can she work with this one? He’s already been someone she’d rather not deal with. Now she’s temporarily stuck with him, and successfully avoiding him, while she looks into this new case. When Bridgette discovers the ties between the victims, she’s sure she can solve this. On the other hand, if only she could solve who is behind the shooting the night she was attacked. Does it have to do with her mother’s death years before? This is the common thread through out this series. Will it finally be solved? Bridgette desperately needs answers for her own peace of mind. What if the past and the present were somehow related? A unique storyline that has made for an intriguing book. Which ever case it is, past or present, Bridgette, once again needs to be looking over her shoulder. I enjoyed the first 2 books in this series, and was just as captivated by this addition. Bridgette continues to grow as a strong female detective. Definitely one of my favorite series! Thank you Trevor Douglas
"Rumors are like seeds, scattered on the wind. There's no telling where they'll land, but they will. Settling in cracks and crevices, the roots take hold. The seeds sprout. It doesn't matter if they're true or false. The more times they're spoken, the faster and stronger they grow. Like weeds, waving in the air."...…
Joanna doesn’t mean any harm. One day while picking her son up from school she overhears some comments that she will come to wish she’d not repeated.Rumor has it that someone who had committed a murder as a child, is now grown and living amongst them. Is it true? Can repeating gossip cause that much trouble? Joanna is about to learn a lesson. Joanna is curious and determined to find out. If not for the safety of her son, but the safety of her hometown. Unfortunately, that same determination may just put her family in danger after all. Joanna’s investigating may bring the killer once again into the light. I couldn’t put it down. Was the killer really in the same town after all this time? You can’t call on the past without some consequence. With more than one stunning twist I didn’t see coming! What happens when Joanna has to face her worst fears? The killer, or the person being accused of being that child killer, will want to seek their own revenge. What a great ending. A cleverly crafted story from start to finish!

“Darren Booth? No, I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him. He’s made our lives a misery from day one. He’s the proverbial neighbor from hell-and I say that as someone who’s genuinely tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, who wants to fall out with the guy next door? It destroys your life.”......
Welcome to Lowland Way, a neighborhood in the London area. Where everything is going along quite well, at least until Darren and Jodie move in. Without regards to anyone, they’re are now the worst neighbors. We can all probably relate to that at one time or another.
There’s a shocking death. Amongst the horrified neighbors some truths start coming to light. Maybe it’s no longer as wonderful as it was. Everyone has a story to tell about “Those People” on the corner. Are they true? Or maybe they’re trying to keep the inquiring eyes off of themselves.
The tale is told back and forth between the neighbors after the death over at the Booth house. Relationships begin to spiral out of control under all the pressure.
The further I got into the book, the more unraveled the neighbors were becoming. Everyone was beginning to be suspected. I liked the characters less as I went along. The ending was quite fitting for this bunch.
