The Last Time She Saw Him by Jane Haseldine - Reporter Julia Gooden's brother disappeared 30 years ago when she was 7 years old and she still blames herself for not remembering anything about it. Now she's zealously protective of her own children. But that doesn't keep her own son from being abducted. Soon, it looks like the two cases are related and there are many suspects from the past and present. The end was exciting but rather unbelievable. I didn't find any of the adults likeable. It looks like this is the beginning of a series.

City of the Lost by Kelley Armstrong - Police detective Casey Duncan was eighteen when she killed a man and got away with it. When the past threatens to catch up with her, she flees with her best friend, a victim of domestic abuse, to a secret town where everyone is hiding from something. That might not have been such a good idea. It seems there have been several suspicious deaths in a town with a very small population. And since Casey has been "allowed" into the town only because she's a detective, she has to hit the ground running. I really enjoyed this one. Also the beginning of a new series.

An Obvious Fact by Craig Johnson - the 12th Longmire books finds the sheriff and Henry Standing Bear in a small town near Sturgis, ND, during the annual motorcycle rally. They've been asked to look into the motorcycle accident of a young man. Was he run off the road for what he was carrying or what he knew? I have to say I found this one confusing and had trouble keeping track of people. Too many interruptions at the beginning of the book or old age? Some good one-liners from Henry but this was disappointing for me.
3 stars
* I'm anxiously waiting for the next season of Longmire starting on Netflix Friday, the 23rd. I keep both series completely separate in my head and enjoy them both.
