I saw The Turn of the Key around and knew it was my sort of read. The setting is London and Scotland. The story was suspenseful with the mystery of what happened and also why the other four nannies left. Both mysteries are solved but not without many creepy tangents. The main character, a young […]
I am enjoying more of these mystery / thriller/ personal dramas over the past year. I have to say I HOPE truth is not stranger or worse than fiction because fiction can be terrifying enough. Why can’t some people let others have whatever harmless thing brings them a little joy? Of course, this is much […]
I love this Jack Reacher series. In the earlier books, it seemed to matter more whether they were read in order because of his connections with other characters, and his own progression. Lately, it hasn’t seemed as important with some books going back in time, even to when he was in the army. I have […]

I know that for sure because when I started reading, I thought I messed up and got something from a […]
Echo is a spacetime adventure with an interesting premise and story structure. When I opened my copy and it started at chapter 29, I thought maybe it got scrambled and I didn’t get a final version of the book. But this is by design, it is to help the reader understand where you are chronologically […]
Read It, Rate It and Record A short review to update challenges I listened to Gone to Dust after seeing it as an audible daily deal and have continued with the Nils Shapiro series . I really enjoyed the Minnesota setting since so much is familiar, having lived there for many years. […]
Read It, Rate It and Record A short review to update challenges I am along for the ride with the Highway 59 series. The characters are very well developed and there is such a range in each one, black, white and all the grays. They are complex and make mistakes, such real people they […]
