Vanishing Hour by Laura Griffin
The mystery was decent and the west Texas setting was fun, but the romance aspect was just ham-fisted.

Aurora by David Koepp
This was excellent -- it would be great for book groups. It's not just a dystopian disaster novel, although it does a good job at that.

The Old Place by Bobby Finger
The local(ish) setting was fun; the plot was interesting. I'm still not sure it all came together? But maybe?

The House in the Orchard by Elizabeth Brooks
This was a fantastic read -- the narrator was . . . well, I don't want to say too much, but . . . this one is worth reading.

Disappearance of Trudy Solomon by Marcy McCreary
I can't decide if I liked this or not. It fell victim to what a lot of mysteries do: way too weird situations. But at least it owned up to them?

Secrets of the Nile by Tasha Alexander
I just thought this was so much fun -- I really liked the protagonist and the Agatha Christie vibe.

Set My Heart to Five by Simon Stephenson
I read this because I liked Stephenson's other book. (Turns out that was quite different.) This was still good, but the narrator was kind of annoying.

A Most Efficient Murder by Anthony Slayton
Without giving too many spoilers, I just want to say: I am so done with insipid plot points in mysteries. This was a fun read until that happened, and then I was just really annoyed.
