The Missing Piece
(Dismas Hardy #19)
by John Lescroart
Hardcover ~ Published March 2022

The beloved New York Times bestselling Dismas Hardy series returns with this “perfect piece of entertainment from a master storyteller” (Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author) about a relentlessly twisty murder mystery.

No one mourned when San Francisco DA Wes Farrell put Paul Riley in prison eleven years ago for the rape and murder of his girlfriend. And no one is particularly happy to see him again when he’s released after The Exoneration Initiative uncovered evidence that pinned the crime on someone else. In fact, Riley soon turns up murdered, surrounded by the loot from his latest scam. But if Riley was really innocent all along, who wanted him dead?

To the cops, it’s straightforward: the still-grieving father of Riley’s dead girlfriend killed the former prisoner. Farrell, now out of politics and practicing law with master attorney Dismas Hardy, agrees to represent the defendant, Doug Rush—and is left in the dust when Rush suddenly vanishes. At a loss, Farrell and Hardy ask PI Abe Glitsky to track down the potentially lethal defendant. The search takes Glitsky through an investigative hall of mirrors populated by wounded parents, crooked cops, cheating spouses, and single-minded vigilantes. As Glitsky embraces and then discards one enticing theory after another, the truth seems to recede ever farther. So far that he begins to question his own moral compass in this “superb thriller from a veteran crime writer” (Jeffrey Deaver, New York Times bestselling author) that you’ll savor to the last word.

Worth Dying For
(Jack Reacher #15)
by Lee Child
Hardcover ~ Published September 2010

There’s deadly trouble in the corn county of Nebraska . . . and Jack Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it’s the unsolved, decades-old case of a missing child that Reacher can’t let go.
 
The Duncans want Reacher gone—and it’s not just past secrets they’re trying to hide. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they’re just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world. For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that’s bearing down on him. For Reacher, that was also impossible.

  1. I have read and enjoyed many, many mystery series. Just to mention one: Sue Grafton's alphabet series starting with A is for Alibi (Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mysteries, No. 1).

    1. Wonderful series. I actually saw SG at a library conference and got a couple of her books autographed. She was so funny and entertaining as a speaker.

  2. I typically prefer standalone work. The last series I read was Dean Koontz's Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, & End of Watch. Just long enough but the first book I read was much better than the others. Why I am not a fan of sequels. Prefer fresh content.

    1. I love this series as well although it got rather boring to me somewhere along in the middle. I need to go back to it. I just read the first book in her new series, The Recovery Agent. I kind of felt like it was a remake of the SP series - new but similar characters, different setting.

  4. I have read a lot of different series. I would say the one I most look forward to is the Deadwood Mystery series by Ann Charles. She can't write the next book fast enough. :)
