Interlude

The Art of Theft by Sherry Thomas

November 14, 2019 by Debcapsfan 2 Comments

This a review of the fourth book in the Lady Sherlock series, The Art of Theft. If you haven’t read the other books, what are you waiting for? Many people you like that review books on this site love them. I will say, this is the first one I didn’t go back and listen to immediately again to get all the things I missed before. The plot is pretty straightforward, where Mrs. Watson’s friend, the Maharani of Ajmer, is being blackmailed with information tucked away […]

The concept is better than the execution

The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani

November 12, 2019 by Malin 1 Comment

Official book description: The first kidnappings happened two hundred years before. Some years it was two boys taken, some years two girls, sometimes one of each. But if at first the choices seemed random, soon the pattern became clear. One was always beautiful and good, the child every parent wanted as their own. The other was homely and odd, an outcast from birth. An opposing pair, plucked from youth and spirited away. This year, best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to discover where all […]

The Art of Theft by Sherry Thomas

November 6, 2019 by Leedock 3 Comments

The fourth book in the “Lady Sherlock” series is out! I really enjoyed the first three books in Thomas’ gender bending re-telling of Sherlock Holmes. If you haven’t read the books, by all means do! They are delightful mysteries set in the same world as the classic Sherlock Holmes but with a twist. Here, Sherlock is the fictitious brother of Charlotte Holmes created as a smokescreen that allows her to earn a living as a detective in Victorian London. Many of the characters from the […]

A Look at Travelers

Gathering Prey by John Sandford

November 5, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

So this is the 25th Lucas Davenport book I have read and it seems that we will see Davenport pursue something different. He once again is dealing with depression, but being asked to help find a young man that his daughter Letty met is enough to push that back for the time being. When it appears that Letty’s friends may have come across a brutal group murdering Travelers, Lucas and others do what’s necessary to take down the group. “Gathering Prey” follows Lucas as he […]

Look at Flawed Detectives Taking Place in Denmark

The Tenant by Katrine Engberg

November 5, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So this was a really good thriller. I have never read a book taking place in Denmark before. Or at least I don’t think I have. It was interesting to see how the partners in this book (Jeppe Korner and Anette Werner) deal with the murder of a young woman and then the twists and turns the murder case takes. We do get to see more of Jeppe […]

Issues with Plotting and Ending

It's Always the Husband by Michele Campbell

November 5, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

So I finished this last night and initially was all this is a really great book. Then I sat and thought about it and said, well except for some of the character development, and the plot holes that were not tied up, and then the ending. But other than that, it was great. I have to say that I liked the set-up of the book (three college friends) but think that it was hard to even see why the three women kept in touch. Nothing […]
