Poisoning, Police, ex-husbands, oh my (Bingo – Fresh Start)

Catering to Nobody (A Goldy Bear Culinary Mystery, #1) by Diane Mott Davidson

October 4, 2020 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

This was a silly book about silly people and it is exactly what I was looking for. I’ve devoured many a mystery series in my day, and have a strong fondness for small town murder mystery hijinks, as I’m a big fan of TV’s Murder She Wrote and the book series by Lillian Jackson Braun, Rita Mae Brown and Alan Bradley. So, it was this hole I was trying to fill with Diane Mott Davidson so picked up the first of this series, published in […]

“On a little street in Singapore We’d meet beside a lotus-covered door”

The Frangipani Tree Mystery by Ovidia Yu

August 31, 2020 by Bea Pants Leave a Comment

  This book is what I call a “cozy-ish mystery.” It’s not an examination of the darkest parts of humanity, nor does it take place entirely in a knitting shop in a cozy New England hamlet. It’s just about the perfect thing for me when I’m feeling overwhelmed by the world or my previous read or both. The murder still feels important to the story without getting you bogged down in misery. This is the first in the Crown Colony series and I’ve added the […]

Nothing better than reading Agatha Christie on a train!

Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie

August 25, 2019 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

CBR11bingo: Summer Read I have long been a fan of Agatha Christie. Last year, when I finally got around to reading Murder on the Orient Express, I was surprised to discover that her writing was, perhaps, not as nuanced as I remembered it from when I used to devour her novels in grade school. So I was pleasantly surprised at Death on the Nile; I’d even hazard to say this might be one of Christie’s best. Although I saw the movie many years ago, I […]

But loneliness has a compass of its own

December 15, 2018 by Leedock Leave a Comment

After I hit Cannonball, I rested on my laurels a bit too much and now I am behind a couple of reviews! I also slowed way down in the reading department. I read this one a while back for my book club’s November selection. Seems like ages ago. Now I gotta slide these reviews in between making holiday cookies and watching my Christmas Hallmark/Lifetime/Freeform movies. Don’t judge. This is another one of Reese Witherspoon’s  Hello Sunshine  book club selections. Again, I would never have guessed […]

Where I Join Everyone Else in Discovering C.S. Harris

November 3, 2017 by lumenatrix 3 Comments

Alright, so I completely forgot to review this book when I read it, so you’ll have to forgive me if I’m a little fuzzy on some of the details at this point. I sort of stumbled on this book and thought it was some sort of new, unknown author or something because I had never heard of him. Turns out, I really just live under a rock or something because everyone in the world knows C.S. Harris aside from me. That is really neither here […]
