I read Fool Me Once to prepare for the next book in the series, Nobody’s Fool. The characters mostly were wealthy enough to be able to spend their time as they wanted without worrying about the bills which always seems unrealistic. The series is Sami Kierce but there was no Sami Kierce in this book, […]
The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). This is a collection of freebies I have from the author Carolyn Arnold which are police procedurals. I have as freebies the first in three different series. Kindle freebie on March 19, 2021 (currently $3.99 at Amazon and in […]
Fourteenth century Oxfordshire, England is brought to life as a cunning “cold case” mystery is investigated by an inexperienced young surgeon new to his appointment, but savvy in observation and analyzing the case. Historical scholar, Melvin Starr was a new to me author, but I was eager to plunge into the mystery he penned. His […]
Tammy @ Books, Bones & Buffy featured this on one of her future fiction type posts and the concept appealed to me. It’s exactly the kind of themes I love – space scfi, murder mystery, detectives, and technology. Murder by Memory is also a very quick read I did in one go. We meet Dorothy […]
After satiating myself on her Phyllida Bright Mystery series featuring Agatha Christie as a character, I was eager to taste test her newer series, American in Paris featuring the delectable Julia Child as a prominent side character. Colleen Cambridge does a spectacular job melding historical real life characters and time period settings with her […]
The Parker City Mystery series is set in a medium size Maryland town in the 1980s. Each book seems to have a dual timeline, alternating between the current date and the past. The chapters are clearly labeled as to which period they are. A key aspect of Parker City is the rich history and that is […]
I’ve been getting most of the books from the D.D. Warren series from the library. However, I was on the waitlist for the next books, Audible was kind enough to offer a sale with the first two books in the FBI Profiler series on sale for a little over $2.00 each. This gave me the […]
The Antonia Scott series is about Antonia and her partner, Jon. They are sort of government agency law enforcement but a special program called Red Queen. The setting is Europe and they are based in Spain. Jon is gay; he has had some issues with trying too hard to get the bad guys. Rather than […]
I love the Underwater Investigation Unit series, so I was thrilled to have this series with more of Sloan and her team. It didn’t quite work out that way. The Specialists is the combination of 3 series, the UIU series, the Theo Cray & Jessica Blackwood series, which is preceded by a Jessica Blackwood series, and […]
I had always wanted to read this author and really enjoyed Killers of a Certain Age. I was thrilled the Killers of a Certain Age would continue as a series. The women seemed to be retired without being erased after the last adventure about two years ago. We have Helen, Natalie, Mary Alice and Billie. […]
