Death at Hazel House by Betty Rowlands

I am always ready to start a new series, and cozy mysteries have their own allure. When I saw that this was the first of a series I was tempted to request and read it. This introduces Sukey who is a SOCO which translates to being a Scene of crime officer or the person who…

Mathematical Mysteries 1 &2 by Jonathan Pinnock

It has been a while since I had this book on my virtual shelves and although I found the writing entertaining, something always seemed to come in the way and I did not get around to reading it last year. This year though, I found out that the second book was releasing and thought of…

The Egyptian Antiquities Murder (High Society Lady Detective #3) by Sara Rosett

This was a…

Death of a Doll by Hilda Lawrence

This book is still up for requesting on NetGalley (The cover page will lead you to it, in case you are interested) This is an old american classic as opposed to the other british ones that I have reviewed on this blog, and there is a marked difference in the style of narration. It took…
