Reading and Reviews (Ligon and Grafton)

I'm an author, but I'm also a reader. From time to time, I'll share my reviews of present and past reads. My available time to read is limited because I write, but I love to curl up with a paperback or an eBook at night for the last hour of my day.

 

Here are some of the books I've read recently. Maybe you'll discover a new book or author.

 

Finding Kate by Kim Janine Ligon 

Investments guru, KC Shuster, did not return to work in Chicago after a three-month sabbatical. When no one hears from KC--Kate to her family--and a private detective fails to uncover anything of importance, her father asks his two older daughters, Ava and Piper, to find her. 

While recently widowed Ava needs a break from Atlanta society and secrets bombarding her from beyond the grave, Piper questions the wisdom of staying in a marriage to a struggling singer/songwriter in Nashville. For different reasons, each welcomes the role of playing detective while renewing their once-close relationship. 

Will they find Kate when professionals could not? Will they embrace what they learn about themselves and love on this quest?

 

My Review

Sister stories are great when the author can write the siblings in such a way that they are unique from each other. Ms. Ligon succeeds. The interaction between the sisters conveys how close they are and yet how different. The visual descriptions tell the reader even more about the ladies and their style that is each their own. The story is a low-key, easy read. If you like familia relationships and the love that brings, you’ll for sure enjoy Finding Kate.

E is for Evidence by Sue Grafton 

E IS FOR EX
Being a twice-divorced, happily independent loner has worked like a charm for P.I. Kinsey Millhone—until holiday weekends like this one roll around. What she needs is a little diversion to ward off the blues. She gets her much-needed distraction with a case that places her career on the line. And if that isn't enough to keep her busy, her ex-husband, who walked out on her eight years ago, pops back on the radar...

E IS FOR ENEMY
It all begins with a $5,000 deposit made into Kinsey's bank account. Problem is she's not the one who deposited the money. But when she's accused of being on the take in an industrial arson case, Kinsey realizes someone is framing her…

E IS FOR EVIDENCE
Now Kinsey's working for herself. But with new evidence—and corpses—surfacing around her, she's going to have to act quickly to clear her name before she loses her career, her reputation—and quite possibly her life…

 

My Review

I am hooked on the Kinsey Milhone P.I. series. She is just witty enough, just real enough, that you wish she was your best friend. The stories are always twisty and this one is no exception. Plain old fun to read.
