The Case of the Sleepwalker’s Niece (Perry Mason #8) by Erle Stanley Gardner

I let my kindle unlimited subscription languish for a while. One fine day when I was in the mood again, I refreshed the entire queue and chose a fresh set of books/audiobooks to read/listen to. I have since let it sit again (maybe the writing of this review might help in some form). This book…

The Orphan Keeper by Camron Wright

I have read and reviewed another book by the author The Rent Collector I have read and reviewed another book by the author quite recently ( The Rent collector). That, too, was an adapted version for younger readers.This story is based on real-life incidents. The book, however, does not seem to qualify as non-fiction, probably…

The Lying Dutchman by Graham Brack

I have read and reviewed the previous works on the blog before: I am usually a fan of long series, but I think my reading of these books in succession has depleted some of my enthusiasm for the book. I state that upfront because nothing has changed. The writing continues to be witty, and the…

No Such Thing as Goodbye by Karmen Špiljak

I had more fun with this book than I expected to once the story began. We plunge right into the mess that our lead protagonist is trying to make of her life while at the same time correcting her trajectory. What happened next seemed too lucky for me to fully appreciate it. Even if I…

Magical Disinformation by Lachlan Page

I sometimes pick up books outside my comfort zone in order to try something new. This was one such story. It is a spy novel, as the tagline rightly claims. It is also a little more than that because we have a person who usually has a desk job decide to do something extraordinary to…
