Laurie Buchanan

Georgio Gambino, crime boss, is not going to be stopped. He has kidnapped Sean McPherson’s pregnant wife and his friend’s daughters. Georgio has a plan! He intends on using these ladies for sex, slavery and their internal organs.

As usual, Laurie has created a great setting with the Pine and Quill in the Pacific Northwest. And don’t get me started on this delicious food served at this writing retreat. Add in these fabulous characters and this book is non stop! I am half in love with Sean McPherson. He is truly a nice guy and tough as nails.

The intensity in this novel just won’t quit! I swear, I had to take a breath or two in places!

This is book 4 of the Sean McPherson tales. It is not necessary that you read the others, BUT, if you read this one, you will definitely want to pick up the ones before this! To me, this is the best one of the bunch!

Need an all around good tale…This novel comes out April 9. Add it to your list!

Sean and Emma are getting married. They have the perfect setting of Pines and Quill, a writing retreat in the mountains of Washington State. But, just as the reception gets into full swing an explosion rocks their world and threatens their new life together.

There is so much that I love about this series. I love the atmospheric setting of Pines and Quill. I love the dog Hemingway. But most of all, I love Sean McPherson. He is smart, kind and charismatic! And he has met the love of his life, Emma. These two are fantastic together!

This story had me loving the chase! I swear I finished this in one day! The intensity and the guessing game is on target to keep you glued to the pages.

I do think this is my favorite book out of the three. I do recommend reading them in order but it’s not mandatory. You can see my reviews here: Indelible , Iconoclast.

Laurie Buchanan amps up the intrigue in this new addition to her detective series. The moody Pacific Northwest setting is the perfect backdrop for this twisting tale of revenge. Behind the scenes, crime boss "The Bull" Gambino directs his henchmen to perpetrate evil on the residents of Pines & Quill, but ex-cop Sean "Mick" McPherson and his lovely (and unexpectedly kickass!) new bride Emma are hot on his trail. Despite a psychopathic dirty cop, a highly talented male/female impersonator, and multiple murders to contend with, the newlyweds are able to steal a few rejuvenating moments with friends and family at the rustic writing retreat, where there's enough hearty gourmet food and genuine camaraderie to satisfy anyone's soul.… (más)

Book Two in the Sean McPherson series takes the reader back to Pines & Quill, a writer's retreat in Washington State. Sean's sister, Libby, and her husband Niall run the retreat. Every month they host four writers at the retreat who want to spend uninterrupted time on their books. Sean, an ex-cop who got hurt when his partner was killed, is Libby's brother and working as a handyman at the retreat until he can get back into law enforcement. He's also living with Emma, a writer he fell in love with in book one.

Sean always picks the writers up at the airport in Seattle. As the book begins - we meet the four writers for this retreat. Tom is a veteran of Afghanistan who lost his legs, Megan is the owner of a French restaurant, Pam has recently had cochlear surgery and can hear again for the first time since she was a child, and Pam is a civil rights attorney. All four of them are working hard on their first books but one of them is not an author, instead she works for a crime family with the goal of killing Emma and, if needed, Sean.

The book is well written and the descriptions of Washington State make you feel like you're there. In a twist from many suspense stories, we know who the 'bad guy' is from the beginning. It's suspenseful to see the other characters gradually learn that something is wrong. I really can't say much about the plot because I don't want to give anything away. I will admit that the killer is one of the most ruthless and cruel characters that I've read in awhile

The plot moves along fast. The characters are very well written and are people who you soon care about. The descriptions of not only the setting but the food that is being prepared for the writers is fantastic. The author started each chapter with a quote from a famous author about writing.

I don't know when Impervious, Book Three in the series, will be published but I know that I can't wait to go back to Pines & Quill and spend time with Sean and Emma.… (más)
