Girl Three by Tracy March



Girl ThreeOK to know me is to know I love my Mystery/Romance. So I tend to be a bit selective. No worries here cause ((DING DING)) we have a winner! Girl Three was is a well written smooth read that kept me guessing till the very end. As soon as I thought I knew who the killer was I was confused again. With a little romance thrown in it was magic.

Jessica Croft is a bioethicist and has just been asked to join the president’s council. With a judge as her father Jessica has reservations about this appointment.  All this takes second place when Jessica finds out her sister Sam has died. Upon her return to DC Jessica no longer thinks Sam’s death was a heart defect but murder.

From the cover……

Bioethicist Jessica Croft, estranged daughter of a federal judge, has avoided the players, power, and passions of Washington, DC. But when her sister Sam’s suspicious death is classified as natural, Jessie resolves to expose Sam’s murderer. Pursuing elite suspects on both sides of the stem-cell-research debate leads her to security consultant Michael Gillette, who seems to know more about Sam than he’s let on.

Michael has a vested interest in Jessie’s plight. Her sister died on his watch—while he wasn’t watching. His plan to find her murderer becomes complicated when Jessie’s father hires him to protect Jessie, and his interest turns from professional…to romantic.

Together Jessie and Michael must unravel a mystery rife with political agendas and deceit. When confidential papers reveal a fertility scandal surrounding the enigmatic Girl Three, the two realize the danger of exposing the truth. Who is Girl Three? And will the murderer kill again to keep a secret?

DC plays such a wonderful background. Having just personally been there a few weeks ago I could see Jessica on the concrete sidewalks and really get lost in this story. Jessica plays at being detective and gets finds trouble and may become a victim herself. Going through the people in Sam’s life reveals a sister Jessica never knew and a father she knows all too well.

Michael and Jessica chemistry was very nice. My only criticism was I wanted a bit more sexy time. But the lack of written romance did not take away anything from this book.

All in All Girl Three gets 4 out of 5 STARS

The first few chapters are what did it for me as a reader/reviewer. Clever premise. Smart characters. Interesting yet funny banter and a volley of dialogue that just makes you smile. Snag a copy for a fun afternoon read! ~Tanja Dylan Rhodes. Up-and-coming lawyer. Media darling. And an unapologetic player who treats women like tea bags—gets them wet, then tosses them out. Everything about this man warns me not to trust him. Tells me to kick his breath-taking body to the curb. Get him out of my study. But I need the data for my college thesis. And he’s the perfect man to prove that the dating mind-tricks I’m testing, work. At least we’re on the same page about one thing: neither of us is looking for a relationship. By the time I figure out why he keeps showing up—even though I

BLACKTOP WASTELAND by S.A. Cosby

Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/37Y5JyR Beauregard Montage knows how to fix any car—but that would be selling him short. He knows how to make an ordinary American car something that flies, something that, under his hands on the wheel, can take its driver places. He came to that knowledge through heritage, love and the lure of dangerous getaways. But he is in a town that has no call for those skills. He’s got a repair shop that is floundering, a wife and two sons, a daughter from an earlier time, and the car he inherited from his father, a Plymouth Duster. Late at night, when he races the car ten miles out from the fairgrounds in the back road illegal races, he feels most like himself. He feels reconnected to the part of him that has no part in this other life he knows he needs to live for the people he loves. It’s always there though, just below the surface, that desire for one more getaway drive, one more adrenaline boosting race against the cops. BLACKTOP WASTELAND (Flati
