Gone the Next by Ben Rehder
This is Reheder's ninth novel, but it is the first in the Roy Ballard mystery series. I love mysteries, so this book was a perfect match for me. It kept me interested and engaged with the different characters and scenarios for the kid napping. I love how Rehder intertwined Roy's character's backstory into the novel.
Forget Me Not by John Hemmings
This is a Mark Kane Mysteries Series
This book was a great introduction to the main character, Kane. He is a private investigator that uncovers multi-dimensions from a simple case. But without much evidence, Kane uses his skills to uncover murder, fraud, identity theft, and organized crime.
A Honeybun and Coffee by Sam Cheever
This is the first book in the Honeybun series of romantic suspense series. The first novel introduces the whole family dynamics with the Honeybun family. It is a mystery with romance. I enjoyed the strong family bond and the multi-talents of the Honeybun family i.e. famous race car driver, doctor, lawyer, former lawyer to President Reagan, Gunny Sergeant, Financial Investment Broker etc.
I also read three more in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Childs: A Wanted Man, The Affair, and Rules of Engagment.
