Seeking truth doesn’t always give us the answers we hoped to find, and sometimes, it can be downright dangerous.
I gave this book, three stars because I found it rather slow paced and stretched the credibility factor. You, may, however, love the unusual twists and turns.

Description: The story of Todd a wealthy, Real Estate Entrepreneur and Developer and Jodi, a stay-at-home, part-time psychologist and their 20-year “m Description: The story of Todd a wealthy, Real Estate Entrepreneur and Developer and Jodi, a stay-at-home, part-time psychologist and their 20-year “marriage.” Although everyone who knows them believes and treat them as a married couple, even addressing her as Mrs. Gilbert, they are not. A suspenseful trip through the slow disintegration of “marriage,” the revelation of secrets and the dangers of being ‘silent’ in an uneven relationship.
Plot: The murder of the husband is alluded to in the very beginning but things are never as they appear and this book is no different. The plot centers on the psychological aspects of the main characters, their “marriage’” and the choices they make. The plot is believable, yet, almost predictable. The deep-dark secrets, of both Todd and Jodi, are revealed in a drip-drip of suspense, culminating in the evitable with a twist.
Characterization: The characters were well developed but over time. Told in differing points of view, bit by bit, the author reveals what drives Jodi to be the calm, “Stepford Wife” and why in spite of degrees lining her walls, she limits the number of patients she counsels. Todd is presented as a typical philandering husband- not easy to like. There's more to him, as we learn throughout the book, but not enough to make me like him. If I’m honest, I didn’t find either character, although compelling, exciting. I wanted to kick both of them and say, “Are you and idiot! Wake up!”
Setting: Chicago. The beautiful, expensive condo, central to the story is well described and reveals if you’re paying attention, much about Jodi.
Other: To me, foreshadowing played a significant role in how this author told her story. It was like peeling an onion, leaving scraps of skin lying about for the reader to pick up. Although I thought it was masterfully done, I figured out the ending, mid-way through.
Overall: An excellent psychological and suspenseful novel. I love stories that help reveal what makes us tick and explore the dark side that is within all of us. The characters although irritating at times, were well developed and kept me guessing what they would do next. The book was entertaining and a quick read.
Four Stars: I gave it four stars for two reasons: First, I found the changing POV’s at times, a bit jolting at times. Perhaps it was the transitions, as I on several occasions had to go back, review a few paragraphs to understand. Secondly, in places, I found the dialogue tags, noticeable and in some instances, pulled me away from the conversation. However, those are minor. The Silent Wife is a good book, and I highly recommend it. ...more

Book 7 of the Detective Knight Series by Carolyn Arnold was my first to read in the series. Although, it's book seven in the series, it's an excellent stand-alone mystery, too.
Detective Madison Knight is a character that sucks you in immediately to her world as a police detective, and the emotional turmoil both inside and outside of the police station when a fellow officer and friend is senselessly gunned down.
Ms. Arnold gives us not only an inside look at what the men and women in blue do to keep us safe but makes us feel the roller coaster of emotions they face when the worst happens.
The story is complicated, involving many players, and requires a bit of concentration to keep all of the characters and follow the thread of their stories to the truth, but it’s a trip worth taking.
I’ve always respected the men and women who work so diligently to keep us safe day in and day out and now, having gotten a glimpse into what it likes for those who wear the uniform, I respect each one of them, even more.
If you love police procedurals mysteries, you will enjoy, In The Line of Duty. ...more

For mCrime, murder mysteries, and psychological thrillers are my favorite genre and Gillean Campbell’s book, Predictable Violence, did not disappoint.
For most of us, our lives are guided by our life experiences, good or bad. It is the same for the main character, Detective Mackenzie (Mack) Anderson. Having lost her husband and daughter in a horrible tragedy, she is compelled to help prevent such pain for others. Faced with a triple homicide once again, involving children revives the ghosts of her painful past and a determination to find the killer.
You feel an immediate connection to this strong, yet, vulnerable character as she pursues justice for the victims. Her sidekick and guardian, Sigurd is another pleasant character that adds depth to the story.
The murder mystery is fast paced and keeps you guessing (for the most part). If fast-paced psychological thrillers are your thing, pick up Predictable Violence; it’s a good read. ...more
