"A Slow Fire Burning" by Paula Hawkins is a Murder Mystery

In A Slow fire Burning by Paula Hawkins, a young man is found dead on a houseboat and Laura, Carla and Miriam are the suspects.  I enjoyed all three of the main characters.  It has a good storyline and the last 100 or so pages were the best!  (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

"Dog Friendly" by Victoria Schade

In Dog Friendly by Victoria Schade, Morgan, a dog vet in need of a vacation, jumps at the chance to go to a vacation spot to dog sit.  Things are going well when she sees a handsome guy.  Do things get better or take a turn for the worse?  This novel reminded me of a Hallmark movie.  It is an enjoyable, light, happy, predictable read.  I loved the dog parts in this book and give it 5 stars.  It served as a nice break from the thrillers I've been reading lately.  (Gerard's review)

"The Island" by Adrian McKinty is Going to be a Series on Hulu

I cannot say too much about The Island by Adrian McKinty without giving too much away.  I can tell you it is about a family vacation gone very badly!  This is full of action which I liked!  The story line is good and I enjoyed all of the characters.  It is going to be a series on Hulu so that should tell you how good this book is!  Highly recommended!  (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

Karen's review:

The Island by Adrian McKinty is a thriller right from the start!  This is about a family vacation to Australia that turns into a nightmare!  This is about how the stepmom, Heather, fights for her life and tries to protect Owen and Olivia, her children.  This is a wild one that kept my interest.  Besides the adventure and fight to survive, I also enjoyed how Heather's relationship with her children improved along the way.  At times, it was hard to put down!  (Karen's review, 5 stars)

"One Step Too Far" by Lisa Gardner

One Step Too Far by Lisa Gardner is about a search in the woods of Wyoming for the body of Timothy O'Day who went missing years ago and was never found.  Frankie Elkin looks for missing people so when she saw an article that Tim's father is organizing another search for his son, she decides to offer her help and joins up with the search.  Tim disappeared from his camping trip bachelor party when he went after one of his groomsmen.  It became obvious that someone did not want the search party to continue and things started happening to stop them.  They came to realize their lives were in danger!

This book is a thriller that only got good in the last third.  I found myself plowing through the first part of the book which had very little action.  I think campers and hikers would love this but for me, it just moved too slowly.  I liked Frankie, the main character, and how she tried to get to know the strangers she was joining up with to search.  I'm glad I stuck it out because the last part was very good.  (Karen's review, 3 stars)
