When you’re a debt filled nuisance…

Rooted in Evil by Ann Granger

by Leave a Comment

  This is the second Ann Granger book that I have read, and I’m pleased to say that it is on par with her last. Ann Granger is definitely the author for people who enjoys mysteries but don’t like to think too much. And I say that not as an insult, but as a compliment. I personally enjoy a good mystery that I can sink my teeth into and try and unravel all of the threads that continue to appear. However, every now and again I enjoy a lighter mystery to give my brain a rest. Ann Granger is my […]

Boston’s Supernatural side

Dying Breath by Heather Graham

by Leave a Comment

  Not what I expected!! I have not read any other books by Heather Graham, so I was not prepared for this. Having no knowledge of the ‘Krewe of Hunters” I was exceptional freaked out when ghosts started appearing in this book. It soon became apparent that that is what the Krewe of Hunters do – they are a branch of the FBI that solve crimes with the assistance of ghosts. Once I established this, the book became a lot more palatable. I don’t mind horror stories – I grew up reading Stephen King, however I find supernatural stuff too […]

A murder in a rich family.

The Girl in the Ice by Robert Bryndza

by Leave a Comment

  I loved this book! A fantastic suspense novel that kept me enthralled, curious, engaged and completely surprised. The pace of the book was perfect, drip feeding clues and slowly revealing more information. An excellent balance between the main crime and building characters, back stories, more mysteries and intriguing characters. The story follows the finding of a rich girl, Andrea, murdered and found underneath a frozen lake. We are introduced to the main detective Erika Foster as she returns to work and is put on the lead of this case. We look into Andrea’s family as well as her fiancé […]

A Step Back

The Beautiful Mystery by Louise Penny

by 2 Comments

Whoo, this book was a struggle. There have been other books in the Gamache series that I didn’t particularly love, but I barely finished this one. It felt like a chore. A Beautiful Mystery has Inspector Gamache and his right-hand man, Inspector Beauvoir, investigating a murder of a monk at an extremely secluded monastery. I know I complained about a previous book in the series having too much going on (the one where he’s investigating the murder of an archaeologist), but this one had the opposite problem. It’s not a surprise that life in a monastery moves slowly and follows […]

It took me 11 years to finally read it. Worth it.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon

There are no people to overwhelm him and he can take his time to see all the things, but one night when he goes out he finds his neighbour’s dog dead, killed with a pitchfork. Christopher likes logic and he likes dogs, so he decides to become a detective and figure out who killed the dog. His father is not pleased by this and forbids Christopher to investigate, but for the first time Christopher defies his father and he even starts lying, but things unravel…secrets come out. The […]

Grim, but great

Happy by Grant Morrison, Darick Robertson

by Leave a Comment

The first time I heard of Happy, it was due to the (fantastic) Netflix series of the same name, which I promptly devoured in the space of an evening. And so, when I was feeling a bit down, it was a lovely surprise to come home to a ‘cheer up’ copy of the graphic novel which inspired it. Having immediately read the entire thing, I can say that not only did the Netflix show completely nail the tone, but that Christopher Meloni (who I still ALWAYS call Chris Keller first time around – man, I miss Oz) was perfectly cast. […]

A Rule Against Murder (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #4) by Louise Penny

by 7 Comments

Project: Catch Up On Review Backlog, review #5 out of 11 Glad to say I’m fully back on board with this series. I’ve decided to overlook its faults in favor of the things it does really well. I don’t think these same people in this same very small town are going to stop improbably encountering dead bodies anytime soon. And what it does really well is character. Penny’s characters are very human. The consensus for this one seems to be that it’s good, not great. Just solid. But I liked it better than the last two in the series, certainly […]
