Well I was up and down about Harry Bosch. I absolutely love the tv series and decided to go back and read these books. The only book I have read out of the series is “City of Bones.” At the time I had no idea it was part of an ongoing series. It was in one of my grandpa’s Reader’s Digest condensed books that included 3 other novels. I recall liking that story and had an idea at one time to see about other books […]
Secrets to the Grave
I can honestly say that this book creeped me out a lot. With Hoag setting the first scene with a graphic description of the murder victim, and how our bodies break down after death, I may have been off food for several hours while I finished this book. It seems this days I am destined to read book series out of order. I read book #3 last year, and finally went and bought book #2. I will so just go buy book #1 just so […]
One Fell Out of the Cuckoo’s Nest
It’s been awhile since I’ve read a murder mystery (no kissing in this book!), but I’d been intrigued about these books by J.K. Rowling written under a pseudonym for awhile. I’ve read all the Harry Potter books, and enjoyed them immensely, so I was curious to see how she would do with the real world. Instead of wizards and magic we are presented with the death of a superstar model, a person who is regarded in society as being elevated above the rest of us […]
Done. And I miss these guys already….
This series is perfection. It’s pretty much made for curling up with in the middle of winter hibernation. The literary equivalent of comfort food. I read the first six books in the series last year in my pre-CBR days, and am picking up at #7 in 2017. I can’t recommend this series enough- engaging characters, vivid descriptions of French food (omg, the food) and small town living, intriguing murder mysteries, what’s not to love? I especially love that it’s set in Canada. It gives me […]
Gone without a trace
3.5 stars. Missing, Presumed starts with Detective Sergeant Manon Bradshaw at yet another lackluster internet date. It’s an interesting way to start a mystery novel. I think it was meant to be cringe-funny, but I only found myself cringing. I think Steiner was probably trying to introduce us to our main character outside of work so we’d get a broader picture of who she is. Manon’s someone without a lot of close ties and so lonely that she listens to her police scanner for fun. […]
We All Think We’re Stronger Than Our Troubles
Cannonballers love Liane Moriarty, and they really love Big Little Lies. I could no longer hold out against the deluge of positive reviews and the upcoming HBO series produced by Reese Witherspoon who has a history of putting her money behind female driven projects. Hot take: It is quite good, but I was able to call all the big twists save one. Read it before the HBO series arrives in late February if you want to be a smug book reader. More in depth review […]
