Second Grave on the Left by Darynda Jones

June 21, 2019 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I’m pretty sure I’ve found the next “beach read” series I might have to work my way through before he end of the summer (or as much of it as possible). Second Grave to the Left is a fun junky supernatural mystery. Not totally original, especially the sexy stuff, but enough interestingness to keep things going. I was shelf browsing at the local library, found the final installment of the series on the “New Fiction” shelf, decided it looked interesting, so I went to find […]

Charley Davidson, Private Eye and Grim Reaper at your service

February 4, 2018 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Despite being well-versed in the urban fantasy genre, I had yet to dive into the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones. It’s a new year, so why not jump into a new one? 🙂 First Grave on the Right introduces us to a tired and bruised Charley Davidson being woken up from a very sexy dream by a dead lawyer. Needless to say, she’s pretty peeved. Before she can get her bearings,  her police detective Uncle Bob (UB for short) calls her to a murder scene. […]
