Give Me All the Septuagenarians Solving Murders Books, NOW!!

The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman

by Leave a Comment

The thing about me is that my entire personality has been pretty much shaped by the 80’s tv shows that I preferred as a child, and those shows were Murder She Wrote and Columbo.  I can be found attempting to chase those highs I felt watching them as a kid (and now in blurry reruns as an adult) by watching the terrible (yet highly watchable) Hallmark Mysteries channel.  The glaring difference though with the murder shows and movies on that channel is that the sleuths […]

Did Something Bad Actually Happen or Is She Just An Addict? *Sigh* I Hate These Books

You Had Me at Braineater

Braineater Jones by Stephen Kozeniewski

by 2 Comments

Braineater Jones (as he calls himself), has a problem. He woke up dead in a swimming pool and he has no idea who he was before he was undead.

Taking place in the 1930’s this is a fun little play on a noir novel as Jones deals with the “dames”, […]

Bitter Falls (Stillhouse Lake Book #4) by Rachel Caine

by Leave a Comment

I am a sucker for a series with a strong, capable woman.  Add the fact that she’s a mom on a mission? I’m alway sold.  I’m easy…always have been.  To catch you up, the Stillhouse Lake series is about a woman, Gina Royal, who comes home to find out that her husband was a serial killer and that he had been killing people under her nose for years (in a sound proof hobby room in the garage).  People did not believe that she wasn’t aiding […]

Such a Perfect Wife by Kate White

by Leave a Comment

        Such a Perfect Wife is about the abduction and murder of Shannon Blaine…and then it isn’t…at all. True Crime writer Bailey Weggins comes to Lake George to write about the unfolding mystery of the disappearance and possible death of Shannon Blaine, 34, gorgeous, wife, mother, and physically fit runner. She disappears while running, which is why I don’t run. I kid, I kid. I don’t run because I ran so much in high school sports my knees are shot. And no, […]
