Thoughts on a few of the books I read last month:

The Duke's Best Friend by Jane Ashford #5

Kate grew up with her grandfather, a diplomat. When he died she figured she would take over where he left off.  The doors have been closed to her and she finds other means to carry on the work.  Henry has just been hired to the Foreign Office and wants more than his entry level position.  Kate has ways to obtain information, but needs Henry to help her.  They agree to partner and soon find themselves embroiled in a mystery that heats things up.  Secondary characters help them out and add to the story.  Overall a good installment in the series.

Knockout by Sarah MacLean (audio) #3

Imogene and her group of ladies named Hells Bells are champions of the less fortunate, labeled vigilantes (one they will acknowledge). Scotland Yard Det. Thomas notices that they seem to be around when things get blown up and sets out to figure all things out.  Little does he know Imogene will blow up his world figuratively and literally. A wonderful installment in this series narrated by the ever brilliant Mary Jane Wells.  Looking forward to Duchess' story.

The Bone Hacker by Kathy Reichs #22 (audio)

A simple call out to investigate a possible lightening strike sets Temperance on a investigation in Turks and Caicos. Once there she realizes there is more going on than expected, and with the help of local Det. Musgrove they set out to find the connection. A gruesome link seemingly connects the cases. As they get close a tragic occurrence happens, the story takes off and it soon becomes dangerous for Tempe. The narration of Linda Emond helped keep all the characters straight as well as glued to the story. A perfect long drive listen.

North of Nowhere by Allison Brennan

Fast paced thriller that kept me riveted on a plane ride.

Quicksilver by Dannika Dark (audio) #11

Raven and her group are placed under a curse and must figure out how to break it before it is too late. Brilliantly narrated by Nicole Poole.  Looking forward to the conclusion of this series in Evildoer
