Dead to Rights by J.A. Jance
This is the first Sheriff Joanna Brady novel I’ve read, but it won’t be the last. It’s just the second book I’ve read by Jance at all, the first being one in her also excellent J.P Beaumont series, Justice Denied.

I Can See You by Karen Rose
Ms. Rose writes a terrific whodunit that provides a double edge spin to the Internet applauding the connection of the lonely one to the many but also warning these ones that predators in sheep clothing could be one of the many. This is a great poignant work.

Cherry Bomb by J.A. Konrath
Konrath’s books are always exciting with a touch of humor and a bunch of action. Cherry Bomb is no exception. The conclusion took me by surprise. This is the sixth Jack Daniels mystery.

Floodgates by Mary Anna Evans
For a fictional novel to actually change your thinking and understanding about an event is definitely proof of exceptional writing. FLOODGATES does that through the intermingling of an actual event, Hurricane Katrina, with a murder and the historical information about controlling the flood waters around New Orleans.
