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

This book is yet another one which I can add to #BritishCrimeClassicsChallenge you can see Rekha's review for more glowing praise. I only quite recently realised how deficit my knowledge of old classic crime novels or even authors was (as anyone following my reviews could attest). I am slowly working my way through (my) unknowns to identify if…

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…

A Genuine Fix by J.C. Kenney

It has been a while since my last review and although I have been reading in the time that has passed, I was not in the 'mood' to write. The quality of output at such a time would have been boring at best so I hope as I wait for my flight to be called,…

Mrs. Morris and the Ghost by Traci Wilton

I need to begin this review to iterate the fact that not all Cozy Mysteries are a hit with me, I have finicky tastes when it comes to reading books like this, and the review should be read with that in mind. Also, I am in the minority when it comes to the opinion on…

Murder’s No Votive Confidence (Nantucket Candle Maker Mystery #1) by Christin Brecher

I am on a lucky spree (Finger's crossed) and seem to be clicking with the books that I am picking up. Now, most people who read on a regular basis would know how hard it is for such a thing to happen repeatedly and how happy it makes someone when it works out. I picked…

A Legacy of Murder (Kate Hamilton Mysteries #2) by Connie Berry

I have squirreled away some time to read and therefore there will probably be continuous reviews for a few days (back to my old routine). NetGalley is hosting something called #Reviewathon till the end of August and I have decided to join the tag and mention it in my reviews till the last date just…

The Labours of Mrs Stella Ryman by Mel Anastasiou

This is the second book of a series but seemed to work well on its own. The background information was repeated enough times to keep the people straight in our mind. Mrs. Stella Ryman, an ex-librarian who checked herself into a care home is the resident 'detective' with the worst sense of direction (something that…

Engaged in Danger (Jamie Quinn Mystery #4) by Barbara Venkataraman

I am back after an unexpected hiatus! I originally intended to read a lot, and schedule posts for all the days that I would be offline but life is not clean and scheduled that way. My sister got married last week and that involved a lot of people and noise and obviously, I was not…
