I love a mystery set in a different location. The setting is Paris but the main character has come from England. Jess is the younger half-sister of a journalist, Ben, and comes to visit him in Paris after things go bad for her at work. She’s had a tough background with her mother dying and […]
After solving another mystery, advancing in her love life, and still wondering how they will ever find Aunt Lavender, Cora the air-illusion witch and Selene her cat familiar find themselves the suspects of the latest mystery to hit Winterspell. Cursed Claws is the third Nine Lives Magic mystery series and works best read/listened to in […]
I read the first book in the Parker City Mystery series and suffered a bit of first book syndrome where I am settling into the world and characters being developed. I was not helped by the scenes going back and forth in time from Ben & Tommy’s first case to the present when Tommy is […]
After recently reading the first in the series, The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, The Masque of the Black Tulip dove right back into the contemporary plot line and then introduced the historical plot line shortly after. Like any good series worth its salt, the second book can tell a lot about how it […]
I am really enjoying the Charles Jenkins series, which begins with The Eighth Sister, which was a heart-stopping fire hose of action and life-or-death danger. Charles Jenkins is unusual in that he is older, in his 60s, and left the CIA 40 years ago. He has a young son and a newborn daughter. I think […]
I was in the mood for a good suspense/thriller story and there are several Karin Slaughter stand alone stories I haven’t tackled yet, so I just grabbed one at random. I very rarely read the blurb on a book. I like going in blind. So it was a bit of a shock that this story […]
The Rockton series has built a fantastic and riveting series arc, provided intense and intriguing murder mysteries along the way, and delivered a core group of characters who instilled deep reader love. Now, it is driving toward a climax that will hold us spellbound and keep us reading into the dark hours. The Deepest of […]
I have loved every one of the Rockton series. I would not try to read this as a standalone. The whole series is amazing and I highly recommend them. I listened to the whole series on audio, as I love Therese Plummer. Rockton is built on all kinds of secrets. The council has not shared […]
The Paradox Hotel is a strange place. It is a place people go to travel in time and see different events in history. With that comes some different challenges for head of Security, January Cole. People are people and they try to sometimes bring things back with them they shouldn’t. Like raptor eggs because who […]
I really loved Deadly Silence from the Detective Jane Phillips series which I reviewed on audio. Somehow I lost track of the series and no others, sadly, have been released on audio. There are now 6 books. I caught up on Kindle Unlimited and have the latest here for review. We see things through Jane […]
