Five Reasons Not To Read Just Another Missing Person By Gillian McAllister

Reading excitement turned to disappointment with Just Another Person by Gillian McAllister. This review, I provides five reasons why you sho

Here I go again. This is a disclaimer that I seem to be the lone wolf in my disdain for Gillian McAllister’s latest, Just Another Missing Person. So, go into this knowing that there are many who LOVED this book.

My post my rules. Reasons 1 and 2 go hand in hand, so they are together.

Let me get this out of the way. I’m trash for books that have so many identities I’m not sure who I am by the end. Just as I love books that bank hard to the right when you think it is going left. For instance, see my review of The First to Lie by Hank Phillippi Ryan for proof. I love books where you might have bits and pieces figured out, but the big picture twists? They slap you in the face and, most importantly, fit into the confines of the story. To be fair, Just Another Missing Person’s twists all fit within the story. They make sense. I won’t argue that piece.

Ashley Weaver's Playing It Safe Is The Best in Electra McDonnell Series, Yet- Review

Playing It Safe is the third book in Ashley Weaver's Electra McDonnell Mystery series, and it is the best yet!

The Electra McDonnell Mystery series is one of few that is easy to review without spoilers. It is truly a phenomenal series, but it can also be read as a stand-alone. I wish you good luck because, from the first book in the Electra McDonnell Mystery series, Ashley Weaver will have you hooked. There are a couple of over-arching plot lines and characters. So, you would miss the family connections and mystery surrounding them. Beyond that, each mystery is contained in a way that can easily be read independently.

Even though this is the third book in the Electra McDonnell Series, nothing is stale. The mysteries keep changing, and part of that is because in Playing It Safe, Ashley Weaver shifts Ellie out of London and to Sunderland. This is essential for a couple of reasons. One, the change of scenery automatically shifts the perspective of the war. We have seen the war from London’s point of view. Now we get to see it from the view of a seaside town.

Delicious Writing Of An Evil Character And A Fraught Campus Propels The Protege By Jody Gehrman

Jody Gehrman's The Protege is propelled by the delicious writing of an evil character, an atmospheric campus setting, and a suspenseful plot

The Protégé By Jody Gehrman Summary

Jody Gehrman pits the drive for revenge against the equally vital will to survive, in this chilling psychological suspense novel in the vein of Samantha Downing and Layne Fargo.

Dr. Hannah Bryers, anthropology professor and forensics expert at the prestigious Mad River University, takes pleasure in examining corpses, but small talk and living people fill her with dread. When she’s not teaching, she analyzes the decomposing flesh of murder victims around the globe.

Winter Jones is Hannah’s most promising graduate student. She’s intelligent, cunning, and dedicated, but she’s got her agenda for coming to Mad River: to bring Hannah Bryers down. She’ll stop at nothing to make her life implode. In alternating narratives, Winter systematically robs Hannah of the things she values most: her reputation, her job, and—ultimately—her safety.

When dangerous mistakes are made in her lab, Hannah has no idea who would have it out for her and would be willing to risk students’ lives. As the incidents become deadly, many suspects come to light. Hannah won’t go down without a fight. She has to figure out who is sabotaging her career and killing people; her life depends on finding answers.
