The Missing Letters of Mrs Bright by Beth Miller

I scheduled a load of reviews for the last week, and suddenly, once again, I am at the beginning of another week, and January is already half gone! I picked this book up because I had read and liked another by the author: The Two Hearts of Eliza Bloom. This, however, was not exactly my…

Lost Girl by Holly Kammier

I read another book about a former investigative reporter just a few days before getting to this one. I usually do not compare books but considering both women have agendas for furthering their career, I had to draw one! Shelby was not a nice person, whenever I started to feel for her character, she goes…

The Lying Room by Nicci French

The book begins in an innocuous manner, the scene is set in an average household which is starting their day. There seems to be some underlying tension but all is revealed very shortly. We plunge headlong into the chaos that is now Neve Connelly's life. She is an ordinary woman who has made few mistakes…

Murder in the Corn Maze by G. A. McKevett

This was another cozy mystery that did not work for me, but I think it might for other people. Our leading lady is a grandmother to seven grandkids and has sole custody. This is a pretty chaotic situation to land into directly without prior information which might have been present in the first book (this…

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…

Slay Bells: A Christmas Village Mystery by T.C. Wescott

I have read, reviewed and liked the author's other series: Running from Scissors Running from Arrows This one, however, was not really my thing. I have had it on my list for a while and started and stopped it closer to its publication date. On the lookout for a quick read, I gave it another…

Trouble on the Books (Castle Bookshop Mystery #1) by Essie Lang

This book has all the right ingredients which was why I requested a chance to read it. I am no stranger to cozy mysteries although I do not read as much of it as a lot of people do. Given this combination, I should have enjoyed this book more than I did. I really liked…

The Woman who kept Everything by Jane Gilley

I have been good, and worked on my backlist (books older than three months that I received from NetGalley) and now it looks a little better than a few months ago! This is another of the books that released last year in december, and the paperback is set to release on Feb 7th.   This…
