I love the Timber Creek K-9 series by Margaret Mizushima. Her latest release, GATHERING MIST, is one of my favorite reads for 2024. Mizushima does a great job of researching the K-9 work for her books. She took her characters, Deputy Mattie Cobb and her K-9 Robo, to a new setting in the Pacific Northwest. There, Mattie and Robo must help find a missing child. Mizushima weaves an intricate plot that kept me guessing and the pages turning. I highly recommend this entire series.
Secrets hide within the fog deep in the mossy forests of the Pacific Northwest in this ninth thrilling installment in award-winning author Margaret Mizushima’s Timber Creek K-9 mystery series.
Deputy Mattie Wray, formerly Mattie Cobb, is summoned to Washington’s Olympic peninsula for an urgent search and rescue mission to find a celebrity’s missing child. With only a week left before her wedding, Mattie is hesitant to leave Timber Creek, but her K-9 partner Robo’s tracking skills are needed.
Dense forest, chilling rain, and unfriendly locals hamper their efforts, and soon Mattie suspects something more sinister than a lost child is…
David Ellis had me hooked from the beginning of LOOK CLOSER. I had heard there was an amazing twist at the end and the other readers who told me that were right. I didn't see the ending coming! I heard a podcast interview with David Ellis and he mentioned that to help with surprise endings, he plots his books from the ending to the beginning. I found that fascinating and after reading LOOK CLOSER, I think it works well. Even knowing there was a big twist coming, I didn't completely guess the ending. I've since enjoyed other books by David Ellis and look forward to reading more in his backlist.
From the bestselling and award-winning author comes a wickedly clever and fast-paced novel of greed, revenge, obsession—and quite possibly the perfect murder.

When the body of a beautiful socialite is found hanging in a mansion in a nearby suburb, Simon…
I am a big Lisa Jackson fan and OUR LITTLE SECRET is one of her latest releases. I know when I pick up a book by Lisa Jackson that the plot will be fun, intriguing and fast-paced. OUR LITTLE SECRET was exactly that and I couldn't put it down. It kept me up late reading. Lisa Jackson is a master at weaving a plot and creating great twists along with fascinating characters. I recommend all of her books. This one was a standalone and would be a great book to start with if you've never read Jackson's books.
'Had me on the edge of my seat! I just could NOT put it down... A must read!!! You will flip out when you get to the twist!' Reader review
