Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win by Jo Piazza

 Very good.

The Bad Muslim Discount by Syed M. Masood

 

Very, very good.

Worse than a Lie by Ben Crump

 

Meh.

The Plans I Have for You by Lai Sanders

Decent. 

Whidbey by T. Kira Madden

 

This was very, very well done.

The Guncle Abroad by Steven Rowley

 

So much fun.

Everyone in this Bank Is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson

 

Possibly my favorite mystery series. Just a great combination of meta commentary, humor, and throw backs to golden age mysteries.

Escape! By Stephen Fishbach

 

Fun.

The Invisible Husband of Frick Island by Colleen Oakley

 Sweet but not cheesy.

In Her Defense by Philippa Malicka

Meh. 

The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton

 

Solid.

Jane and Dan at the End of the World by Colleen Oakley

 

I loved this so much.

This Story Might Save Your Life: A Novel by Tiffany Crum

 

This was so engaging -- most plots seem overdone to me, but this wasn't. That said, it got pretty close to shark-jumping at the end. Julia Whelan as a narrator is a plus.

The Housemaid by Frieda McFadden

 

So dumb.

Judge Stone by Viola Davis and James Patterson

 

For the most part, this was quite engaging, and having Viola Davis as the narrator was certainly a plus. I do wish that it had had just a bit more nuance, however.

Dear Miss Lake by AJ Pearce

 

Solid.

Murder Bimbo by Rebecca Novack

 

OK-ish.

The Optimists by Brian Platzer

 

This seems like the kind of thing I wouldn't like, but I loved it.

What Happened that Night by Nicci French

 

Meh

Challenger by Adam Higginbotham

 

Fascinating.
