“I don’t get nearly enough credit in life for the things I manage not to say”

For Duck's Sake: A Meg Langslow Mystery (#37) by Donna Andrews

August 16, 2025 by bjornsnipe Leave a Comment

The Meg Langslow series of cozy mysteries is set in the fictional town of Caerphilly, Virginia. Meg Langslow is a blacksmith (mostly decorative fences, planters, benches, andirons and like, with occasional swords) and personal assistant to the Mayor, Randall Shiffley. The Shiffley Clan runs most of Caerphilly, as they range from the mayor to the judge to the construction crew to the owners of the hottest BBQ joint to deputy on the police force (luckily, they use their powers for good, not evil, unlike the […]

One Cool Duck V02 The Far-out Fort by Mike Petrik

It is the Reviews of the Series. Or this is a review about different series. Each one has its own quirks (good and bad) but all have that little something that fits the right reader.

Detective Duck: The Case of the Strange Splash (Detective Duck #1) by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver

July 11, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Once Upon a Time a little girl (me) liked the character called, The Fonz. She sat on the couch, in her pink party dress, thumbs up, with one of her uncles sitting next to her (only common feature was the thumb gesture, though since she came from a good looking family, both of them were very attractive). Fly forward and that little girl is now a big girl (still me) and while I do not put  thumbs up anymore, I do read a book or […]
