🎧 Homemaker by Ruthie Knox, Annie Mare @ruthieknox.bsky.social @anniemare.bsky.social #MiaHutchinson-Shaw #Thomas&Mercer #BrillianceAudio #JIAM #LoveAudiobooks #KindleUnlimited🎧

The Prairie Nightingale series is a collaboration between two of my favorite authors. It’s a new mystery series about a professional homemaker turning into a private investigator. I absolutely LOVE it. Prairie is a divorced mother of two girls. The younger is definitely gifted. The older is going through her rebellious teen phase. She co-parents […]

She Doesn’t Have a Clue by Jenny Elder Moke @jennyelder @MinotaurBooks @RobinBridgeFour

She Doesn’t Have a Clue isn’t going to be for everyone, but it was definitely for me. Jenny Elder Moke is a new to me author. I really enjoyed the main character, Kate and how messed up she was in a cute way. The murder mystery on an private Island during a wedding weekend was […]

🎧 The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong @JulieLeongBooks #PhyllisHo @AceBooksPub @PRHAudio #LOVEAudiobooks

I never know what I’ll get when reading a fantasy book. The Teller of Small Fortunes was described as cozy and that seems right. There isn’t a big war. The setting seemed rather historical as much fantasy does. Our heroine, Tao, has a wagon with her treasured mule, as she travels around Eshtera. She is […]

A Grim Reaper’s Guide to Catching a Killer by Maxie Dara @MaxieDara @jaimebee @BerkleyPub @PRHAudio @sophiarose1816 #LoveAudiobooks

Sophia’s Review Her carefully cultivated average, low-risk life has just been toppled when a routine collection case is anything but routine. Kathy can go back to hiding away from the world behind her safe walls or she can help save a soul- literally. Who could pass up a middle-aged mid-divorce grim reaper with a poor […]

🎧 The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society by CM Waggoner @CMWaggoner2 #CindyPiller @AceBooksPub @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks

Any story with a main character librarian is worth considering. Sherry moved about 6 years ago to take the position in Winesap, New York. She has had quite a run on solving mysteries of town murders recently. She enjoys being good at it. I liked Sherry and her personal journey throughout the story. Her sort of […]

Returning to the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountain town setting and the cozy comfort of Misty’s inn for a new seasonal mystery was an anticipated reading experience for me and I was not disappointed.

🎧 Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree @TravisBaldree @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks @SnyderBridge4

Bookshops and Bonedust is a prequel to Legends and Lattes and it is really meant to be read after Legends and Lattes when we already know Liv the main character. It has a few of the same problems most prequels do, you know the character is going to survive and move onto something else so […]
