Places That Only The Bravest Would Go>/u>

I've been in California with a couple of tango-dancing assassins. Silence/Thomas Perry

I met up with them after I came back from northern England with DI Erika Foster who was looking for a killer that sees to be able to walk through locked doors. The Night Stalker/Robert Bryndza

I've been visiting the birthplace of my mother and the home and birthplace of my grandmother until she immigrated to America in 1926. I've watched a lawyer try to prove the innocence of an Irish girl that he secretly loves. There is a lot more going on here than he may ever be privileged to. Murder in County Tyrone/ Padraig O' Hannon

I've been in the Orkney Islands in 1867 with Detective Faro as he investigates a body that has washed ashore that may or may not be completely human. The Seal King Murders/Alanna Knight Moving to Virginia to the Goode School where secrets and murder are going hand and hand. Good Girls Lie/ J.T. Ellison

I've been in Scotland and England with a nanny who got in over her head when she accepted a job with a difficult family. It's The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware.

I'm in Washington where a group of children on what was a boring field trip have just had the entire experience become a lot more exciting when one of them fond a severed foot on the nature trail. The Girl In The Woods/Gregg Olsen

I'm in England (Northamptonshire) with a woman that seems to be the only survivor of a hot -air balloon crash that a man on a motorbike has been tracking trying to kill everyone. They witnessed him from the
air, killing a woman earlier Dead Woman Walking/Sharon Bolton. In the meantime I'll go to the town of Henbane, Arkansas deep in the Ozark Mountains. a woman is trying to find out who killed her mother long ago and more recently her best friend. Could it be the same killer? The Weight of Blood/Laura McHugh

Just finished Before the Rains by Dinah Jefferies, set in India. I didn't enjoy it as much as some of her other books but it was a good read all the same.

I've been in England with some of the other folks in this group and DI Kim Stone and an evil, manipulative psychiatrist who's getting her patients to do violent things. It's Evil Games by Angela Marsons.

I've also been in Florida and Mexico with a marine biologist who also works as an assassin for the governement. It's Deep Blue by Randy Wayne White.
