I hated it so much

Prior Bad Acts by Tami Hoag

July 6, 2020 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

If you subscribe to the Tucker Carlson school of policing, this is a thriller for you.  For everyone else, I would advise looking elsewhere for better written characters, less clichés and a more nuanced view of law and order in Minneapolis. The action opens with our soon to be damsel in distress, Minneapolis Judge Carey Moore, making a private chambers decision to prevent evidence of ‘prior bad acts’ being introduced into a murder trial she is presiding over.  Hoag’s villain, a loner with a fetish […]

September 16, 2016 by Lynn 1 Comment

I downloaded this as an audio book from the library.

But this Tami Hoag? It was…not good, you guys. Not good at all. I’ll give you a brief plot synopsis, and then give you my actual thoughts as I listened. […]
