  • Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano

    Finlay & Vero are going on a road trip! And bring the kids, the ex-husband and Finlay’s mom 😱. Antics ensue (of course). I thought the funniest parts were when Finlay was talking to her agent. For some reason I always picture Joey Tribbiani’s agent Estelle 😃 when she’s speaking to her. I like how…

  • Murder by Candlelight by Faith Martin

    This delightful locked room mystery is set in the 1920s in the Cotswolds. The amatuer detective is Arbuthnot “Arbie” Smith along with his helper Val. Arbie has become famous recently for writing a book called A Gentleman’s Guide to Ghost-Hunting, and is therefore requested to keep watch at a nearby home where unusual things have…

  • January 2024 Recap

    17 for January. Last year by this time I had already listened to over 30 books because I had just discovered the Agatha Raisin series and I could do almost 2 per day at 2x speed. I’m not trying to keep up with last year’s numbers just trying to show that it’s all relative and…

    This book would be great for anyone who loves Agatha Christie type mysteries, or anyone who enjoyed the previous books by the author, Alex Michaelides. Elliott Chase is friends with a famous former actress and goes for a visit on her Greek island, where there is a murder. The story shows what leads up to…

  • The Sign of Four Spirits by Vicki Delany

    This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series but I don’t love seance stories, so not one of my favorites in the series. Always love Gemma and her smart deductions, as well as her relationships with the people of West London, Massachusetts. Can’t wait for her best friend Jayne’s wedding 🥰 Special thanks to…

  • The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Heiress is about a rich family with complex problems. Ruby, the title character, has been deceased for about 10 years at the beginning of the story. With a series of flashbacks revealed through correspondence, you come to find out how twisted the story is. She had been kidnapped as a small child and…

  • Bodies on Netflix

    I need to know if anyone else has watched this show. I watched the whole thing in one sitting and it’s 8 almost hour long episodes 😬😬😬 Crazy time travel detective show.

  • Bright Young Women

    I didn’t realize it was a fictionalized account that follows one of the FSU sorority girls that saw Ted Bundy in the house after he assaulted several girls plus one of his Washington state victims. It felt very much like a real biography of the two women. It never once mentioned him by name but…
