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

The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman

February 16, 2023 by Melina 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

The House in the Pines: A Novel by Ana Reyes

February 10, 2023 by Melina Leave a Comment

Maya is haunted by the death of her best friend years earlier when they were on the cusp of high school graduation and planning their futures.  This is brought to the forefront of her memories when she sees a video on youtube of a woman dying on camera despite not being touched.  Maya knows though, that the man in the video, Frank, (someone she dated for a few weeks at 18)  is responsible for the stranger’s death, just as she knows he was responsible for […]

You Had Me at Braineater

Braineater Jones by Stephen Kozeniewski

January 24, 2023 by Melina 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. He also doesn’t know why he’s undead and why there are a whole bunch of undead people around these days…these are just some of the many mysteries that our self-described private dick has to tackle. 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

January 23, 2020 by Melina 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

January 15, 2020 by Melina 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, […]
