Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping on a Dead Man by Jesse Q. Sutanto @thewritinghippo @berkleypub.bsky.social  @sophiarose1816 @Berkley

San Francisco’s most adorable snoop is back and delving into the death of an online influencer who’s an off-line enigma.  Jesse Sutanto’s Vera Wong captured my heart and funny bone in the first book so I didn’t hesitate to reach for this latest. Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping is the second book in a series.  […]

  I needed to figure out a way to start reading series where I am not current or the series is finished but haven’t read them yet.  So it’s a way to commit myself to read my backlist, particularly series.   I have been wanting to read the Joe Pickett series for awhile after reading […]

The Detective Shona Oliver series does a nice job with its police procedural aspects.  Shona Oliver is a Detective Inspector.  I would read these books in order for the personal growth and relationships.   I like the setting in Scotland,  the mysteries and cases, the police procedures, and less, Shona’s personal situations. Shona struggles with her […]

I noticed Nobody’s Fool was the second in the Sami Kierce series so I decided to read Fool Me Once first. I found this very confusing since there was no character called Sami Kierce.  There was a Roger Kierce and he was a minor, background sort of character. So I was surprised now to read […]

🎧 Fool Me Once by Harlan Coben @harlancoben.bsky.social @justjanuary.bsky.social #BrillianceAudio #LoveAudiobooks @HarlanCoben @justjanuary

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, […]

🎧 Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite @oliviawaite.com #BlairBaker @MacmillanAudio @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks

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 […]

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 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.  […]

I LOVE the Orphan X series. I recommend reading from the beginning, in order, for the character and world developments.   Evan has grown and become more personable throughout the series.  He grapples with his Orphan rules and the feelings for people. I worry for him in every book. Evan has some real issues with […]

I’ve had this Detective Inspector Louise Blackwell series starter checked out in KU for years.  Finally, I just decided to schedule reading and reviewing it. I have KU and don’t read enough of my picks here because it fits fewer challenges. I like Louise, although she starts this series in a hole personally and professionally.  […]
