In Impeding Justice, Mel Comley pulls together the key ingredients for a captivating police thriller; a strong-willed female heroine, a relentlessly cruel villain, and plenty of action-packed scenes. Inspector Lorne Simpkins is hunting down the “The Unicorn,” who always seems to be one step ahead of her. I really enjoyed her gritty, unique character and liked that the author still showed a vulnerable side once and a while. Lorne is also accompanied by an interesting cast of supporting characters that were distinctive and memorable. The ending of the book was like a blockbuster movie that left me ready for the sequel. So, I guess my next read will be Final Justice, by Mel Comley.

Chill Factor (Thriller) by Sandra Brown ~ Review by QBR
Being trapped in a cabin with a handsome stranger may sound like an exciting prospect in Sandra Burton’s Chill Factor. But, can Lilly Burton trust Ben Tierney? The two wound up stranded during a blizzard with no communication to the outside world. Lilly’s ex-husband Dutch is not too happy when he finds out Lilly is with the stranger. Then he goes crazy when evidence leads him to believe that Tierney is responsible for several missing women. This book was definitely a page turner and kept my attention throughout the whole book. The relationship between Ben and Lilly was unique and intriguing. There were a few different stories going on but all were easy to follow and the characters were very vivid.

Abducted by T.R. Ragan ~ Review by QBR fan Mj Fredrick
This fast-paced thriller kept me clicking afternoon into
evening into late night. The cast of characters is large, but each one was
well-developed and fleshed out, especially Lizzy and the villain, who I almost
felt sorry for at times. I loved tough Hayley and sexy Jared. I only wish the
book had been longer!

This was a new author for me, so I did not know what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised. The writing was clean and precise and that left me free to fall into the story. At first I felt sorry for Milo, a retired U.S. Border Inspector, because of the way a zoo volunteer was treating him. Soon, though, I realized that both Milo and Claire, the very same zoo volunteer, were both lonely people. And both had things that needed to be settled before they could even begin to enjoy life again. I truly enjoyed the ploys Milo would come up with to try to dodge Claire so she would not catch him tossing peanuts to the monkeys in order to get a good picture. After a time, the abrasive relationship becomes one of mutual respect, but how this comes about is something best left to the reader. Two separate mysteries evolve within the story and the novel way these are solved is a delight to any mystery reader. A very enjoyable read. Don't hesitate on this one. I intend to read more of Susan Bennett.
