"Drowning" (The rescue of flight 1421) by T. J. Newman


Drowning
by T. J. Newman is about a plane that was in trouble from the start and is now deep in the ocean.  Can anybody be saved?  This is very good stuff as you can see how this could actually happen!  It is interesting how they came up with things to try to save people!  (Gerard's review, 5+ stars)

"The Quiet Tenant" by Clemence Michallon is Really Good!


In The Quiet Tennant by Clemence Michallon, Aidan is a hardworking family man but is not a very nice man, especially toward women.  The story is narrated by those closest to him, his daughter, his girlfriend, and the one victim he spared.  I thought this book was really good!  I was into it from the first few pages.  It had good character development and the ending will have you turning pages quickly!  (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

Karen's review:  8/14/23
The Quiet Tenant by Clemence Michallon is about a lady ("Rachel") who was taken by Aiden, a widower, and kept hidden first in his shed, then in his house for years.  Aiden has a daughter who only learned about her father's "guest" when they had to move and Rachel was brought into the house.  Rachel is the name given her by Aiden.  She discovers he has killed several other women and wonders why he hasn't killed her.  I wondered too!   I thought this book was just so-so.  It dragged along for me without much action or suspense.  It picked up at the end, but things seemed unlikely.  (Karen's review, 4 stars)

"The Writing Retreat" by Julia Bartz


The Writing Retreat
 by Julia Bartz is wild in a good way.  Alex wants to be a published author and winning a writing retreat would go a long way to doing that.  However, all is not right at the estate of horror writer Roza Vallo, where she has to be to win a big contract.  Soon Alex will have more than just writing a book to worry about.  A good storyline with twists and turns make this book very good!  This is the one I read when on jury duty.  I'm glad I had a good book to read!  (Gerard's review, 5 stars)
