Magic Dark and Strange is a new urban fantasy set in England sometime during the industrial revolution. This is a world where there seemed to be a few different kinds of magic people can do but it always comes at a cost. Catherine grew up with her family in the country but was sent to […]
I read the first 4 books in this Widow’s Island series through Kindle Unlimited. They are written alternately by Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh. I enjoy both these authors in their mystery genre work. This series is all short novellas so I have to be more careful not to spoil too much. I really enjoy […]

I am having a lot of trouble with starting books in new worlds these days, particularly when there are lots of characters and intricate layers of plot. The Thursday Murder Club is a masterwork of characters; it is a delight. But there are so many! The characters are all beautifully presented. Our four septuagenarian stars […]

There are certain captivating words that will have me snatching up a debut book without seeing its cover or reading its blurb. I saw ‘murder’ and I saw ‘Old Bombay’ and it was a done deal. I love historical mysteries particularly when set in an exotic (to me) location. Murder in Old Bombay takes place […]
I love this Jack Reacher series. Jack Reacher is a bit timeless. I mean I am not sure what age he was when he got out of the Army and started wandering but I’ll guess mid-thirties. I have read every book over the years. The books went along and he aged a bit. Then, the […]
So, That Got Weird is the first book in the new NA series So Far, So Good. Elizabeth grew up in a family that was very controlling and isolated from kids her own age. She is awkward and really never learned how to talk with people one on one. Now in college, away from the […]
