Threads of Suspicion by Dee Henderson

Threads of Suspicion by Dee Henderson is the second novel in her Evie Blackwell Cold Case series, but it can be read as a standalone novel, as far as plot line goes. However, to fully appreciate Evie as a character and to have a better understanding of her development, I would recommend reading Traces of Guilt first. Threads of Suspicion is a well crafted novel that dives into two separate cold cases related to mysterious disappearances...that might not be as separate as they first thought. I enjoyed seeing how Evie and David collaborated with one another, other members of their team, and other agencies to rebuild these cold cases and to begin to track down missing clues. I thought that the storyline flowed well, though there were times when the story dragged some, even if it did match how the characters were feeling about their cold cases. I also appreciated the character development into Evie and David as they learned more about one another and themselves as they were placed under increasing tension and stress related to both their jobs and their personal lives. Overall, I enjoyed the plot and characters of this novel, and I would highly recommend this book (and Dee Henderson's novels in general) to anyone who loves a good suspense/mystery novel that also does not shy away from full character and story development.

Journey Toward Home (plus sequel novella) by Carol Cox

Journey Towards Home was an enjoyable novel that was both entertaining and sweet. I thought the plot moved at a good pace, and it included moments of humor, romance, and suspense. I also liked the main characters, and how they had to work together to move past their initial perceptions of one another. The follow up novel, Measure of a Man, concerning Lizzie was also enjoyable, and I liked seeing how the characters I had already become attached to had matured and changed over the years. Overall, a great summer read!
