Murder List A Novel BuchananRenard Julie Garwood Books Reviews

Murder List is the kind of novel that makes you feel good. Ms. Garwood has a knack of keeping her readers on tenterhooks. Alec is the all American guy any woman can fall in love with. Regan, the heroine, could be more forceful, but maybe that is why she is so endearing. She is a smart business woman without the harsh edges that often come with the intent of climbing the corporate ladder. Murder List will keep you captivated to the very end.

This is the fourth book in a series, but I read it as a stand alone and it was great. Good suspense, but it was the romance that made the book.
I got this as a promo, not knowing anything about the author or her home genre.

I have to say I enjoyed the first part of the book. I thought the device of going to Regan's first day of Kindergarten then flash forwarding was interesting and well done.

On the other hand, minor nits started piling up for me until they started to take over what I was supposed to be reading. The drug bust left me wondering what happened. The way the resignation of one of the main characters didn't seem to be handled realistically to me and catapulted me out of the story. Then having the cop serve as bodyguard was similarly jolting...I don't think a real PD would have countenanced such a thing and yes, this is fiction...but to suspend disbelief the suspension requires a little plausibility.

It's not Agatha Christie, but then it's not a horrible read either. It's good for a monentary pleasant diversion, but I don't think I'll be re-reading it again, unfortunately.
Ms Garwood is a good story teller, but her writing is somewhat amateurish. The fact that she has been on the NY Times best seller list so many times makes me wonder why. Her writing seems to lack research and real life experience. For example, she apparently was never in a walking or running race. It's very hard to get so far away from the pack that no one can see you. It appears she needs to decide if she wants to write murder mysteries or romance novels. Spending four or five chapters on a sex scene turned into sheer drivel.
I really enjoyed this book . Actually I’ve not been disappointed in any of Julie Garwood books. These Buchanan/Renard series is very entertaining and romantic. The suspense and twist are very good . I have several out of this series on my 💕
This was a free book available to owners. I would think that if a publisher is going to give a book away, to create interest in an author that has a fairly large catalog, they would choose a very good to great one. This book did not fall into that category and hasn't ratcheted up my interest in reading more from this author. It isn't a terrible book, it's just formulaic and only mildly suspenseful.

Regan Hamilton Madison is beautiful, but doesn't appear to be aware of this fact (please), extremely wealthy, but drives a 10 year old car (again, please!). Her best friends have been her friends since kindergarten (possible, but unlikely). When her friends convince Regan to help them with some amateur investigation of a self-help guru she goes along with the plan, even though it is a harebrained scheme. While at a seminar with the 'guru' everyone is asked to make a list of people they wish were no longer a part of their lives. Regan makes her list, including a mean salesgirl and a few other people she had run ins with that day. A few days later these people begin turning up dead- and Regan is put into protective custody - with a gorgeous and single cop (you were expecting something else?!). Together they work to solve the mystery, while of course being very attracted to one another(yawn).

The characters were one-dimensional and very unrealistic. The plot was pretty basic and I had figured out the 'surprise' about 1/4 of the way into the book. The dialogue was frequently unbelievable and there was no suspense throughout the book. It was predictable and I'm glad I didn't pay for the book or I'd be very annoyed. It helped pass the time while I was on vacation, but I don't think I'll be rushing out to by another book by Ms. Garwood anytime soon.
Regan goes to a seminar as a favor to her friends and as part of the exercise they are asked to make a list of people they would like out of their lives. Little does she know it will fall into the wrong hands. Alex is a detective who ends up meeting Regan when she calls the police about a picture of murder she receives. Great book, trying to figure out who the murderer is and why.
