Finally finished all the Lisa Gardner books that I own. There is one more that I haven’t read but it is still in hardback so I’m going to wait until it comes out in Trade Paperback and is MUCH cheaper and will match all of the other books of hers that I own.

They were all decent. I didn’t like her first series (which is the one that I just finished) as much as her next two. Maybe it was a mistake to read it out of order. Oh well. I would recommend any of her books but there are trigger warnings on all of them. They can get pretty dark. For instance, the last book I read featured child rape and a serial killer who was into spiders. Kind of creepy at bed time.

The Passenger – Lisa Lutz (recommended by Jeanine)

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was compelling. In the end the mystery was a little meh and the end had a little twist that wasn’t at all surprising. But I would recommend for the readability of it.

I Am Having So Much Fun Here Without You – Courtney Maum (recommended by Caty Shark)

This book was so good. It dealt with marriage and infidelity. It was the tiniest bit trite. I loved the entire book: the writing, the premise, the development but then the ending was COMPLETELY TACKED ON. It was so out of character with the rest of the book. I still really enjoyed the book and would HIGHLY recommend.
