Thoughts on the Books I Read Last Week:
It has been quiet here on the blog as I've been helping my friend empty her mom's house. Needless to say, it has been an emotional roller coaster ride for her so I've been doing much of the work.
Picked up this book even though it was part of a series and had no problem with the characters and their back stories. A teenage girl is kidnapped and her famous father does all he can to get her back. When she does not return the police is called in to investigate. Special Trials prosecutor Rachel Knight and Detective Bailey Keller quickly figure out this is more than a kidnapping gone wrong. Great investigative and courtroom procedure novel. I will definitely read more of this series.
I was pleasantly surprised as how much I enjoyed this novel. A high school fellow book reader recommended it to me. Echo suffered a tragically at the hands of her mother, but has a memory lapse and is working on making it through her senior year. Noah, is in foster care and working towards getting his brothers back when he graduates and turns 18. They meet when Echo is asked to tutor Noah. The reasons to be together are mostly negative, but somehow they work it out. A enjoyable debut.
When he was 14 FBI Agent Finn rescued his neighbor, 6 year old Peyton from her swimming pool. Years later Peyton returns home for a wedding after leaving her dream job as a food critic, and runs into Finn. She and her sisters are given a resort in Florida to run for a year in order to inherit. The reason that Peyton left her jobs comes back to her and she has to call Finn for help. He saved her life once, can he do it again?
Essex sister number two. Annabel did not want to ever go back to Scotland or marry a penniless gentlemen. A cruel twist has her doing just that very thing. I loved Annabel and Ewan's story as they journey to his home in Scotland. It was funny, tender and charming. Sisters Imogene and Josie are a riot and I look forward to their stories. Expertly narrated by Susan Duerden.

Hot Shot and Killer Ambition both sound good. I hope you have a great week!

I wish I could get Eloisa James on audio here in NZ but her books don't seem to have world rights at Audible. :(
I love the Marcia Clark books and need to catch up on the series!
You sound busy! Hope you get in some good reading this week.
