Story
Grace is a thief—a good one. But she's always on the move, always looking over her shoulder, always alone. It's not the life she wants. Then a run-in with an old associate forces her to lie low in a small rural town, where she happens across an antiques shop. The owner Erin is timid but friendly, and has a room to rent. And Grace glimpses a different life, and perhaps a home. But there are dangerous men watching her, and Grace should know better than to let her guard slip. Because no matter how far she runs, her past is always just a few steps behind...

Have read everything by GF. Enjoy the ways the characters are fully fleshed out and the police procedural / crime planning. This one was a slow burn and I enjoyed the narration and story more in the second half when things tied together. A couple of the characters reminded me somewhat of Wyatt in GF earlier books. I stil prefer the Challis and Hirschausen books but this was a good listen.

Story
When Brian Holloway (Jack Quaid, The Boys) was hired by famous horror author Paul Robinette (Titus Welliver, Bosch) to crack an antique safe in his home, he had no idea what he was about to encounter. Opening that safe door unleashed something sinister — something that continues to haunt him. But what exactly? And can whatever slipped through that threshold be stopped?

I love Connelly - Bosch,Ballard and Haller great characters and the police procedural stuff really well done. Regret I just didn’t rate this story and struggled to get to the end as I found myself indifferent to the characters and plot.

Story
Renée Ballard and the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit get a hot shot DNA connection between a recently arrested man and a serial rapist and murderer who went quiet twenty years ago. The arrested man is only twenty-three, so the genetic link must be familial. It is his father who was the Pillowcase Rapist, responsible for a five-year reign of terror in the city of angels. But when Ballard and her team move in on their suspect, they encounter a baffling web of secrets and legal hurdles.

Another fantastic Ballard and Bosch story. Read everything MC has written. First one I’ve listened to as Audio book - audio performances ok but think I prefer to read …. I had voices in my head from all previous books and slightly odd to have Titus Welliver and Maddie Linz voicing albeit I have enjoyed their performances in the TV series. Also not sure about the male voices that Ms Lakin was using. Stil didn’t detract from classic Connelly.

Story
When hordes of 18-year-olds descend on the Mornington Peninsula to celebrate the end of exams, a brutal bashing attracts political attention. The victim is connected, and now DI Hal Challis is facing interference from on high. Newly embarked on a relationship with his Sergeant, Ellen Destry, Challis doesn't need the brass looking over his shoulder. Then a bludgeoned corpse is found outside town, and it's clear something much darker than adolescent craziness is going down.

Another fab Disher story. It’s a well done police procedural with very strong character narrative and development. I loved it. Recommend reading these books in order so you can follow development of the characters.

Great new detective character
Reviewed: 06-07-24
As always, Disher fleshes interesting characters with motivations and challenges outside the main plot lines. This is the strength of the book.
There were 3 investigation plot lines running. I thought the ending on a couple was too convenient.
The main character was very interesting but by the end I lacked empathy with him and can see why this might not translate in to further stories involving him.
Unlike some others I found the narration fine.

The job's a classic jewel heist: quick, clean and simple. Except for one thing. Wyatt prefers to work alone, but this job belongs to Eddie Oberin and his very smart ex-wife, Lydia. She has the inside information; Wyatt has the planning genius and meticulous preparation. What could possibly go wrong? Plenty. But when you cross Wyatt, you don't walk away.

Wyatt made some powerful enemies in his first three outings, and the time has come to confront them. But we know by now that Wyatt’s revenge won’t be showy, impetuous and futile; it will be pragmatic, elaborate—and still possibly futile. He holes up in Sydney, preparing to return home to Melbourne to play his enemies against each other in a dangerous double-cross that will tear down the notions of loyalty and obligation.

My favourite of the 4 Wyatt stories I’ve read. Story was shorter and tighter than previous ones. Also I was getting tired of the endings where Wyatt was ultimately unsuccessful in his “jobs” so the ending here was more satisfactory. I shall be reading book 5.

They soon realise this isn't just any ordinary missing person investigation.

Reviewed: 16-12-23
Loved the detective procedural stuff and how 2 main characters unpick things to get to the killers. Also enjoyed the evocation of 1960, California. Dave Warner does this genre really well albeit I prefer the Lane and Clements stories set in WA. This story felt a bit contrived / unlikely on a few occasions but overall a good read and I will be looking for more Warner books.
