J.R. Hi everyone,

My name is J.R. Reardon and I am the author of the new legal thriller, "Confidential Communications." You can find information at www.jrreardonconfidentialcommunicatio.... I also have a book trailer that I encourage everyone to check out and comment if you can... you can find it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

The synopsis ias as follows:

TRUST NO ONE…..
Rebecca Lawson, a young general-practice attorney in Vermont, expected to expand her practice when she was hired by Allan Richards to investigate a suspicious employee. Instead, she finds herself amidst national and international conspiracies, manipulations, and murder. With the help of an old colleague from Boston, Joshua Tameron, she learns that the financial security and innocent citizens of the United States are in imminent danger, and it is up to them to expose the truth. Confidential Communications is a legal thriller that takes the reader on a ride which evaluates the vulnerability of us all while witnessing the downfall of greed.

I am excited to say that "Confidential Communications" is currently available on the shelves at Borders at The Mall in Columbia Maryland, and soon on the shelves at the Suffolk University Bookstore in Boston, Massachusetts. You can also find it online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Mysteriesandmore.net, and many other venues.

Please feel free to check it out and pass the world along:) I hope everyone is having a wonderful November -

Best,
J.R. Reardon

Christine PNW This list is completely worthless.


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads Amusing, but worthless.

Danielle Esplin Hi,

I'm the author of Give it Back, a psychological thriller. For more information, please visit www.danielleesplin.com

Synopsis:

This novel follows three characters: Lorraine, Lexy, and Ella.

Lorraine:

Not long ago, Lorraine lost her husband to another woman. She thought that's the worst thing that could happen to her, but soon she realizes it's only the beginning of an everlasting nightmare.

Lexy:

The au pair, Lexy, moves to Seattle to help Lorraine with her infant son. But she didn't come for the kids, she came for something else.

Ella:

When Ella receives a call from her sister, Lorraine, who begs her to leave San Diego to spend time with her in Seattle, she thinks she will take a few days off from work. Frightened to see how her sister weakened since her diagnoses, she packs her small bag with a foreboding that this might be the last time she sees her.


But on her way to the airport she learns that something shocking had happened between the day she last spoke with Lorraine and the morning of the flight. Lorraine’s testimony changes, making Ella question how unreliable her sister really is.


Soon Ella is entangled in a mysterious investigation, and more so, in the lives of everyone involved. Not only will she realize that she won’t go home soon, but she will never look at others the way she did before.

Feel free to pre-order or request an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

All the best,
Danielle


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads Or alternately post the request here, as there are librarians hanging out on this list. (Either way, specifying where the problematic book on the list actually is - "number XYZ" - is very helpful.)


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads Yep. I'm both a librarian and a Listopia addict, but there are so many lists, that we can't be everywhere.

It really made me laugh to see some of the titles of books I've read on this list as I never considered them 'thrillers' 😃 It certainly is amusing to see what others consider 'thrillers' but I have to agree, it makes this list worthless (unfortunately).
