Mr. Finchley – by Victor Canning

I have been reading this series for a while now, but I wanted to read all three before talking about it, just because it made more sense. I am always up for trying a reprint of older books, preferably mysteries but I sometimes succumb to interesting-sounding books of other genres. This was one of those…

Utterly Uncle Fred (Uncle Fred 0.5 & 2-4) by P.G. Wodehouse

I felt a sudden urge before I left for my vacation to unwind with a book from my own shelf. I purchased this omnibus sometime in 2012 at the Strand in New York. I only went there infrequently in the time that I lived in the area and every visit was an adventure in itself…

Valencia and Valentine by Suzy Krause

I have not read/reviewed anything in what constitutes a long long time for me. I was visiting relatives with young kids and it was a blast and obviously, I had no time to actually stay cooped up in a corner to read. I did not read anything during my long flights to and fro either…

Death on a Quiet Day (Sir John Appleby #16) by Michael Innes

Risky Biscuits by Mary Lee Ashford

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this story. We have the standard formula of small-town life, a new transplant with a golden heart and an interesting cat. You will have to take my word for the fact that this was a very well written version of the cozy murder mystery genre(plus cat). That…

Cake by Nicole Brooks

I need to preface the following review with the fact that this was not the book for me. I may seem to be stating this often of late, but I think it counts as a bias that needs to be taken into account when reading a review because it indicates the slant of the review…
