The Tumbling Girl by Bridget Walsh

Narrated by Jasmine Blackborow To be a fan of mystery in several forms is to welcome books like this, which have a whole other immersive world to explore. It may not be the happiest place to be, but the people bring colour to the narrative. The Tumbling Girl is based in 1876 London. Our lead protagonist is…

The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett

This was an unexpected adventure for me. I do not know what I checked out before wanting to read it, but whatever it was stood me in good stead. This fantasy world that we visit in this book is similar to a medieval version of ours, except with a form of magic (in scientific versions)…

The Dog Sitter Detective Takes the Lead by Antony Johnston

I read the first book of this series last year and reviewed it on my blog. I am glad I gave the next in the series a shot because I am starting to enjoy the author's writing style and the lead protagonist more after this visit. Gwinny found work at the end of the previous…

Secrets of a Scottish Isle by Erica Ruth Neubauer

I have read a scattered few of this series, missing one or two in between. This time around, the duo is in rural Scotland, and the author sets the scene well. The remote location and the cold and biting wind are well documented, and whatever else I thought of the mystery itself, I could imagine…

Murder Uncorked by Maddie Day

I always like giving a new series a chance. I picked this up because it is the first in another cozy mystery series with a different setup. Our leading lady works at a wine bar and an unlikeable man makes an appearance in the beginning and we know who the intended victim will be. I…

How To Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin

Narrated by Alexandra Dowling; Jaye Jacobs This was another book that I enjoyed because of the format of delivery. There are two narrators, one for the older timeline and one for the current. Both did a good job bringing the book to life. As I started writing the review I thought back about the reveal…

A Half-Baked Murder by Emily George

Narrated by: Chelsea Stephens This is the first in a series, and I tend to like trying out books of a series to see if there is something in it for future me. I sometimes do the choosing in such a hurry that I might not pay attention to the contents of the plotline. This…

Protecting Her Heart by Nancy Campbell Allen

It's 1887, and the third member of a trio of cousins is finally going to get her happily ever after. I read and liked the first two books of the series, the second more than the first. Although there is continuity, there is no specific need to read all of the books to understand what…
