Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
Wow. So this book bounced all over the place and my brain still feels fizzy because there was a lot of things going on, but boy did I love this book! I loved Bernadette, Bee, their weird dog Ice Cream, and I loved the emails and letters between two women who I would have throttled if I ever met in real life (Audrey Griffin and Soo-Lin). This book was in parts funny and sad and back to funny again. I picked this because I wanted […]
The False Inspector Dew by Peter Lovesey
So this book was really good. What I liked best though was that I started to put it together that the Inspector Dew was actually very famous and started reading up on him last night. And then I read up on Dr. Crippen and then I found out that Netflix’s series “Murder Maps” did an actual episode on this guy and I just continued to fall down a rabbit hole. “The False Inspector Dew” follows two people who will do anything to be together. The […]
For the Sake of Elena by Elizabeth George
Wow. I really really liked this one a lot. I have to say that George did a masterful job of peeling off the layers of who murdered Elena Weaver as well as how Lynley has been selfish in his pursuit of Lady Helen. We also get a great look at Havers home life now that her father has passed. Havers struggles with whether she can keep having a neighbor watch her mother or finally have her mother at a home where she can be safe, […]
House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz
CBR11bingo: Remix I recently had the good fortune to discover Anthony Horowitz, so my expectations were high when I picked up House of Silk, the author’s Sherlock Holmes mystery. I’ll get right to the point: He exceeded my expectations by a wide margin. The estate of Arthur Conan Doyle commissioned Horowitz to write a Sherlock Holmes novel, and their faith proves to be well placed. Horowitz so beautifully captures the voice of John Watson, who characteristically tells the tale, that the novel slides effortlessly into […]
A Keeper by Graham Norton
Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on August 13, 2019. I tend to wait at least a day after finishing a book to post a review, but I am highly annoyed right now and just want to put this book behind me. I maybe at one point while reading this ARC said are you serious and then started muttering to myself about just DNFing it. I don’t like to […]
L is for Lawless by Sue Grafton
Have to say that this one was pretty good though the usual suspects are not in it much (Rosie, Henry, William, etc.). We have Kinsey following someone who stole something from a neighbor/client’s home and then gets caught up with I guess you can just say are a family of not so bright thieves. Kinsey is still prepping for Rosie and William’s wedding in this one. She is asked by Henry to do a favor for the family of an old neighbor of both of […]
