Everyone’s Life Looks Great on Instagram

March 3, 2017 by Melina 3 Comments

Autumn likes to like stuff on the Internet (who doesn’t?)…and she soon becomes obsessed with one particular family–the McMullins.  She likes them for several reasons: 1. Daphne McMullin is the perfect mother. 2.  The McMullins in general, are the perfect family and 3. Daphne McMullin adopted Autumn’s baby girl at birth in a closed adoption.  Autumn “stays in” her daughter’s life by following Daphne on social media as a lurker.  She memorizes everything about them and is just absolutely thrilled that a woman like Daphne […]

I said, murder, good God, now, what is it good for?

March 2, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

I love me some Christie. She is getting me through some bad times right now. I plan on reading the rest of her backlist and didn’t realize until after the fact I grabbed up the Superintendent Battle series (this is number 4) and am reading out of order now. I will correct that later. “Murder is Easy” confused me a bit since I recall this being a Miss Marple television episode. So when I started reading about Luke Fitzwilliam and there was no sign of […]

There Was a Crooked Man…

March 1, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

Honestly I don’t have that much to say here besides the fact that I really really love this book. This was one of Agatha Christie’s favorite books and I can see why. There are a lot of twists and turns and I thought I figured out the perpetrator, but per usual, I was wrong. “Crooked House” follows the character of Charles Hayward, as he goes about investigating who could have murdered his potential fiance’s (Sophia) grandfather, Mr. Aristide Leonides. Christie sets up the book so […]

DC Sniper Case Comes to New York

March 1, 2017 by Classic 4 Comments

Well this is probably going to go down as one of my least favorite “In Death” books. I think the main reason is because after reading a lot of Jeffery Deaver and Michael Connelly the past two months, reading a JD Robb mystery/crime/romance novels is just not going to ring my bell. Usually I’m all for watching Eve, Rourke and their friends tracking down the bad guys. however, this book tells you who the perpetrators are at about the 24% point and then a major […]

I Ended Up Missing Futurama

March 1, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

Honestly I think that for the most part I was bored by this book. I think the fact that I am a girl that has grown up reading Stephen King, none of the plot points in this book were surprising to me. Dark Matter follows the character of Jason Dessen after he is abducted by a mysterious man in a mask and finds himself in a place that’s familiar but is altogether different than the world he is use to. Jason spends most of the […]

A Whole Bunch of Bones

February 28, 2017 by sarah_jwh Leave a Comment

This review is for the first three novels in the Dinah Pelerin mystery series, Bones of Contention, Bet Your Bones, and Bonereapers. These titles are what happens when you get a clever naming scheme and then run out of ones that make sense in a hurry (see also John Sanford’s Prey series). There were things I liked and things I didn’t in this series. First some things I liked. Dinah is an independent woman, she enjoys men and even has relationships, but doesn’t need their […]

    Yes! It’s downright offensive! I do love Lady Catherine

    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.
