All the Best Lies (Ellery Hathaway #3) by   Joanna Schaffhausen 4 Stars All the Best Lies is the third terrific novel in the Ellery Hathaway mystery series.   Once again, Joanna Schaffhausen has delivered a thrilling page-turner that kept me guessing until the very end (I never guess who her killers are).   I love Ellery and her partner Reed Markham.   They’re both entirely real characters who at times frustrate me with their decisions, but I find myself rooting for them anyway.   And thankfully, the ending makes it look like the next entry is on the way. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45046540-all-the-best-lies https://www.bookbub.com/books/all-the-best-lies-by-joanna-schaffhausen

No Mercy (Ellery Hathaway #2) by   Joanna Schaffhausen 4 Stars Joanna Schaffhausen has me hooked on Ellery Hathaway.   Ellery is a deeply flawed heroine (although there are really good reasons for her flaws) that I just can’t help rooting for.   No Mercy is a terrific follow-up to Ellery’s equally terrific debut The Vanishing Season .   This time she and partner (is that the right word?) Reed Markham are caught up in two cases at once.   The writing is good, the characters real enough to root for all too easily, and the mystery and thrills keep you turning pages.   Highly recommended! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37655097-no-mercy https://www.bookbub.com/books/no-mercy-by-joanna-schaffhausen
