  • Lenny Marks Gets Away With Murder by Kerryn Mayne

    I just loved Lenny and her rescued dog Malcolm. This was funny but also heartbreaking because of child/wife/pet abuse related content. Very good description of what it’s like to disassociate due to childhood trauma. I’m not sure what else I can say without giving away the plot. The narrator Annie Maynard did a great job.…

  • What Time the Sexton’s Spade Doth Rust by Alan Bradley

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What Time the Sexton’s Spade Doth Rust (Flavia de Luce, #11) Flavia de Luce is back! I was so excited to hear that there was a new addition to this series. She is the perfect mix of smart, funny and sassy. She’s joined again by housekeeper Mrs Mullet, her beloved Dogger and her very spunky…

  • The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton

    This book went on a wild but fun post-apocalyptic ride. Most of the world has been annihilated by a toxic fog. The survivors live on a beautiful island. Then one day, there is a murder, but everyone’s memories have been wiped so they don’t know who did it. In order to stop an actual doomsday…

  • Westport by James Comey

    Westport is a followup to the first in the series: Central Park West. I had read Central Park West at the beginning of May without even realizing that there was a sequel coming up so soon. I was glad to go back into the world of (former) prosecutor Nora Carleton to see what she was…

  • To Kill A Mockingbird – The Fox Theater

    Photo credit: AJC.com This was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen. I liked it even better than the movie or the book. It was an absolute delight. If you get a chance to see it, please go!

  • It’s Not Hysteria by Karen Tang, MD, MPH

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book is a must read for anyone who identifies as a female or anyone who loves anyone who identifies as a female. It should also be required reading for anyone running for any office anywhere since they have decided to make uninformed decisions about laws that impact half of the population. I listened…

  • An Assassination on the Agenda by T.E. Kinsey

    Book 81 of the yearLady Hardcastle and her lady’s maid Armstrong are back for their 11th mystery together. This time they have to try to stop an assassination attempt that could change the course of history. The book is set in July 1912 in London. I had to research to remember the details of the…

  • The Devil’s Flute Murders by Seishi Yokomizo

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the fifth one in the series that I’ve listened to. I think that’s all that’s been translated so far out of almost EIGHTY books. I absolutely love Japanese writers and especially mysteries. Detective Kindaichi is such a real character to me, much more so than my beloved Poirot. In this locked room…
