Come for the Historical Lady Police Offer, Stay for the Cozy Mystery

An Orphan of Hell's Kitchen by Liz Freeland

February 16, 2020 by Rachel Leave a Comment

Full disclosure, I requested this book based on its description and did not realize it was the third book in a series! It’s a testament to the author that I didn’t feel out of sorts reading this novel out of order as she did a good job ensuring any plot points from the first books were subtly explained or inconsequential. Louise, our main character, is a policewoman in New York City right before the United States enters World War I. Louise has German immigrant parents […]

I Think I’ve Read This One Before

The Trespasser by Tana French

January 31, 2020 by caragwapa 2 Comments

When I like a book, I have the tendency to obsessively read everything the author has ever wrote.  Such was the case after I read In the Woods by Tana French.  I loved the atmosphere, the mystery, and especially the characters.  I of course, read all the Tana French books I could find.  When I was going through the epub files in my laptop to find a quick read, I was pleasantly surprised to find a French book I haven’t read yet.  Or have I? […]

X is for xtremely dull

X by Sue Grafton

January 25, 2018 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

X:  The number ten. An unknown quantity. A mistake. A cross. A kiss… I had read quite a few of the alphabet books when they were first published, and I think I got to about the letter J or so when I drifted away from the series.  I remember enjoying them at the time, but my reading interests shifted onto different things.  I was saddened to hear of Sue Grafton’s recent passing, so I decided to pick up one of her more recent efforts for […]

Clare Mackintosk - I see you

Murder, intrigue and the London tube

I See You by Clare Mackintosh

January 16, 2018 by postcardsandbooks 2 Comments

I was very happy when the first pick of my bookclub for 2018 was a mystery novel, which tends to be a genre of fiction I quite enjoy. I haven’t read Clare Mackintosh’s first novel, which was apparently very successful, so I didn’t approach this novel with too many expectations. This books folows 2 main characters: Firstly, we have Zoey, a 40-year-old mother of 2 who one day sees her picture in the newspaper advertising unspecified services amongst ads of the phone-sex variety, and subsequently […]

A sadly disappointing mystery by an author I really like.

The Skeleton Road by Val McDermid

September 8, 2015 by Mrs Smith Reads Leave a Comment

I’ve just realized that I really need to keep up with my reviews, as I opened this draft and had to think long and hard about the book to remember what it was about. That might actually be my review, right there. Mrs Smith’s actual review of The Skeleton Road by Val McDermid
