Dr. Chloe Davis is the daughter of a serial killer. With the 20th anniversary of her dad's crime spree looming, girls start disappearing again. But with her dad in prison, this must be a copycat, right?
This started really good, but around the middle it became a smart-woman-makes-dumb-decisions novel. Sigh.

Gamache and his family are all in Paris, living or visiting when his godfather, Steven Horowitz is run down while crossing the street. Local police believe it was an accident, but Gamache is sure it was an attempt on Steven's life.
Not enough Three Pines, but I suppose not every murder can occur there.

A young woman is found dead, but as detectives investigate it turns out the victim is living under an assumed name once used by an undercover detective. Weirder, the victim and the detective look so much alike that detective Cassie Maddox is convinced to go undercover again and pick up where the victim left off.
It was an implausible premise, but still a good story. Twenty plus hours was a lot though.
4 stars.
Except he never really is missing.
Someone kidnaps 6 infants from a NYC hospital and Holmes, Poe, and Marple join in the investigation.
I could never get into the story and was literally counting the pages until it was over. This series is done for me.

The nurses of Vietnam. Part 1 was amazing. Part 2 was so whiny I almost had to stop listening. I get the author was showing the effects of PTSD, but it went on too long, especially the "woman makes bad decisions" part regarding the married boyfriend. I was happy when the story moved on to redemption.
3 stars. It would have been higher without the above parts.

Retired police detective Jackson Brodie is drawn into an investigation when he witnesses an assault after a finder bender. Told from multiple view points.
I wanted to like this because I enjoyed Death at the Sign of the Rook so much, but the story dragged and there were so many mentions of animal cruelty that I almost didn't finish it.

Stolen artwork and dying people keep PI Jackson Brodie busy. Love the dry humor and British accents. I think this was sixth in the series, but I've never read any of them, and couldn't even tell. Planning on going back and reading them in order now.
4 stars.
