Her Final Breath by Robert DugoniMy rating: 5 of 5 stars I absolutely love thrillers, especially crime ones, and my favourites are serial killers, which this book was about. The main character is Homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite, she is still reeling from the murder of her sister when she is put in charge of the team investigating the serial killer dubbed The Cowboy. Her boss did not give her the job because he is in awe of her capabilities, in fact, he and Tracy have bad blood, and he is out to see her fall on her face. The team she is with a great, but she knows that the backlash of this case is directed at her and tries to shield her partner and the others from any fallout happening, to do this she does things on her own without them knowing. This is one of those stories that has so many characters, so many possible suspects, so many with opportunity, that the herrings get redder and redder. I did not see the culprit coming in a million years. Great detail to police procedures which enhanced the story and did not bog it down with too much information, just a nice balance. Tracy actually had a home life too, so we got to meet her partner, hear about her relationship and how things were progressing.

Bragg V1 by Jack LynchMy rating: 5 of 5 stars I received a copy of this book via the publishers Brash Books, in return for an honest review. Can I just say that I cannot thank them enough for bringing these amazing books of the late Jack Lynch to my attention, I have to say that his books are amazing, well-written, and the characters so believable. This particular book has 3 of Lynch's amazing stories. His Bragg private investigator character gets himself involved in various cases and each one is excellent. I cannot pick a favourite out of these because each story is terrific, I could read the author's works over and over and over and never get tired of them. I have chosen Die for Me to write about because it was his last novel. I like Peter Bragg, he is a very likeable guy, but not without some issues. He was a reporter, who decided to become a private detective, his work is his life, he loves to get involved in a juicy case (the habit of being a reporter I guess). On his last day at the newspaper years previously, he saved a woman who was trying to commit suicide. Now all these years later she contacts him, claiming she is a psychic and believes she is going to die at the hands of a serial killer. Of course, she wants to hire Bragg to help her. Bragg is unsure whether or not he actually believes what she...
