 Alex Delaware Series 

by Jonathan Kellerman

This is a very long standing series and I'm half-way through it. Great mysteries but it does go at a slower pace than newer series in the genre.

Duncan Kincaid & Gemma James Series

by Deborah Crombie

This is not only a great series but it has made me wanna visit to London even more hehe

White Trash Zombie Series

by Diana Rowland

I am not a zombie fan, but this series is fantastic and let's face it... it has the most amazing covers!

Larissa's 5 Loveys Review: Hangman {Absalom Kearney #2} by Stephan Talty

New York Times bestselling author Stephan Talty’s acclaimed fiction debut, Black Irish, won him comparisons to such thriller masters as Jo Nesbø, Karin Slaughter, and Tana French. Now, his chilling new novel brings back intrepid heroine Absalom Kearney, a driven police detective with a haunted past, trying to make a difference in a troubled town.

Hangman, Hangman, what do you see? Four little girls, as cute as can be. The eerie schoolyard chant still sends ripples of horror through North Buffalo. Not so long ago, serial killer Marcus Flynn preyed upon the community’s teenaged daughters—until he was cornered and shot in the head. But Flynn lived, carrying to prison the nickname “Hangman,” along with the secret of his last victim’s fate. Homicide cop Abbie Kearney wasn’t around during Hangman’s reign of terror. She hadn’t yet come home to wear her dad’s old badge in the tough Irish American stronghold known as “the County.” Abbie had never experienced firsthand the horror of Hangman. Until now.

Hangman, Hangman, where do they go? Down on the ground, where the daffodils grow. A corrections officer lies dead, a prison van stands empty . . . and somewhere out there, the monster who condemned innocents to death at the end of a rope watches and waits to strike again. Abbie leads a desperate manhunt through a city driven to its knees by fear, matching wits with a predator as brilliant as he is elusive. But as more victims are claimed, a rising tide of secrecy, paranoia, and politics forces her to realize that stepping beyond the law may be the only way to find justice. Because with each passing hour, the stakes grow higher—and Hangman’s noose gets tighter.

I confess, I am utterly obsessed with Mystery/Thriller/Pol. Procedural series. Danielle from ALPHA Reader got me hooked on Karin Slaughter and the rest as they say, was history.

Between paranormal novels and catching up with my beloved series, I find myself in search of new serial killery new series and lo and behold, Netgalley came to the rescue with Hangman. Obviously, I had to read the first book in the Absalom Kearney series, Black Irish, first. Thanks G-d I loved it!

I really enjoy a fish out of water story and Absalom is a fascinating fish to watch while she tries relentlessly to swim against the prejudicial current. Did I go too far with the analogy? Sorry lol

In Hangman Abbie is still that fish, maybe a little less so than in Black Irish, but she is still fighting against the fact that she is not seen as one of them. All this in a little town in yhe state of New York that probably has more Irish people than Ireland :)

I love me a great psychological/serial killer story with heart and this is exactly what Stephan Talty delivers in this this fantastic sequel. Abbie is such a lovable character that I just wanted to grab a beer with her and hear her rant all night.

I absolutely adored Hangman and I really hope Stephan Talty keeps telling Abbie's story. If you love Mystery/Thrillers like I do, this is definitely a series to watch!
