TOP NON-COZY READS OF 2016

Looking back at the books I read in 2016 I was surprised that almost all the books I read were cozy mystery. I only read about 1 or 2 non-cozy books a month. These are the 3 that I enjoyed so much they received my Paradise Rating.

The first one should be no surprise because Harlen Coben is one of my all time favorite authors.

Is it just a coincidence the last 2 books have a beach theme? I know I want to escape to a warm beach several times throughout the year. 

They do match my blog nicely and give a double meaning to paradise. 

I am looking forward to books by all 3 authors in 2017. The nice thing is they are all books that can be read on their own.
