If you have read any of Brennan’s mystery novels, and would like to contribute your comments about it/them, please do so as a reply comment to this blog post, below.
Allison Brennan titles read or listened to by group members for this discussion included: Third to Die (Quinn & Costa series, 4 readers), The Prey (1 reader), The Wrong Victim (Quinn & Costa series, 2 readers), Don’t Open the Door (Regan Merritt series, 2 readers – 1 on audio), The Sorority Murder (Regan Merritt series, 3 readers), North of Nowhere (stand-alone novel, 2 readers), Kiss Me, Kill Me (Lucy Kincaid series, 1 reader), and Tell No Lies (Quinn & Costa series, 1 reader on audio).
