Mickey has been a Philadelphia police officer for 13 years. She’s got the brains and the experience to become a detective, but stays as a patrol cop in a neighborhood called Kensington.

What I’m Reading this Week
Hello to the first Monday in the new year! Did you all survive the holidays relatively intact? Or, with intact relatives? Congrats on either one.

She has spent years trying to devise a way to capture and map ... Read More...

Maybe it’s because I’m reading mostly backlist books, meaning I go to the library and whatever catches my eye I borrow. So, thrillers have the best covers? Who knows. Here are two novels that left me wonderfully freaked out and buried in books ... Read More...
