I struggled to get myself to read Heartbreak Bay, only difficult, because I know it is the last in this Stillhouse Lake series. But it is also the last book from an author I have loved, in every genre she has written. The only series I haven’t read of her work is the Weather Warden […]
When I saw the blurb for The Conductors, I knew I wanted to read it. I have always loved stories about the Civil War and the Underground Railroad. The story being from the point of view of a conductor only made it better. The story alternates chapters from the past 1858-1865, with the present (1871). […]
In the Anglo-Saxon period of post-Roman Britain, before all the British tribes were united or a Battle of Hastings was fought, England was a chessboard of maneuvers to many rulers and even the fledgling beginnings of the Christian faith there. It was darker times when plague and ambitious royalty could decimate towns and villages. Shining […]
Before She Disappeared is just what I want to read. There is nothing I didn’t love. It’s in a favorite genre and has both a private investigator of sorts and police investigations. The world is well-developed with the grit of ordinary and desperate lives. The characters also feel so authentic with the nuances of their […]
I have read many mystery/ thrillers this past year. I am discovering my preference is police procedurals and political thrillers, more than psychological thrillers. Bloodline is definitely a psychological thriller. The setting is Minnesota in areas I know. There is a well-developed world with large cast of characters who felt real enough. Anyone who has […]
The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). Kindle freebie on February 18, 2018 (currently $3.99 and in Kindle Unlimited as of writing this post) Overall rating 4.12 with 6, 154 ratings and 666 reviews I had been wanting to read this for quite awhile. […]
After being the driving force behind the bust of biggest corruption scandal of the year, Charles is tired. He simply wants to spend time with his family and recuperate, but his life turns surreal when he ends up among the Knickerbocker Set and Nouveau Riche of New York and Newport during the glittering Season of […]
I’ve really been preferring to read police procedurals lately but you never know exactly what you will get when you try a new (to me) author. I have had some good luck with this genre in Kindle Unlimited titles. So I read the start of the new Detective Kate Young series. I’ll definitely be reading […]
Kenzi and Ember are settling into the house and apparently it is huge as they continue to find new rooms and places. I’m surprised how well they get along with Jack and that he is able to live with them and not have problems. He spends a lot of time enjoying working in the garden. […]
I continue to love the Rockton series. I would not try to read this as a standalone. The characters grow and change throughout the series. But mostly, each book is so good I would hate to miss any! I highly recommend them. Rockton is more set up and has more things than the other people […]
