When an author is at the 23rd book…

Review: Echoes in Death by J.D. Robb

By Corrina Lawson

February 7, 2017

Echoes in Death by J.D. Robb is the 44th book in the In Death series featuring Eve Dallas. As I read the first three chapters of Echoes in Death, I wondered if the book was written intentionally as a jumping-on point for new readers. It certainly reads that way, catching readers up to speed on…

Before Jessica Jones, There Was Eve Dallas

By Corrina Lawson

February 3, 2017

When Jessica Jones premiered on Netflix in 2015, it was met with critical acclaim for its portrayal of a rape victim seizing control of her life, all tossed with an extra slice of “fight the partriarchy.” “Groundbreaking,” critics said. For all the praise, one would think the show contained the first character in pop culture…

Nora Roberts: One of Literature’s Most Underrated Authors

By Corrina Lawson

February 2, 2017

I initially conceived of this article as a way to convince readers who dismiss Nora Roberts with a wave and an eye roll of her considerable writing skills.

Review: Winter’s Child by Margaret Coel

By Corrina Lawson

September 7, 2016

Winter's Child by Margaret Coel is the 20th Wind River Mystery as Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden and Father John O’Malley discover that a centuries-old mystery is tied to a modern-day crime on the Wind River Reservation. There are three elements I consider essential for a great detective story: fascinating lead characters, a compelling mystery, and…

By Corrina Lawson

May 24, 2016

Castle ended this month, after eight seasons on the air, amid a swirl of controversy.
