Mr. Finchley – by Victor Canning

I have been reading this series for a while now, but I wanted to read all three before talking about it, just because it made more sense. I am always up for trying a reprint of older books, preferably mysteries but I sometimes succumb to interesting-sounding books of other genres. This was one of those…

Utterly Uncle Fred (Uncle Fred 0.5 & 2-4) by P.G. Wodehouse

I felt a sudden urge before I left for my vacation to unwind with a book from my own shelf. I purchased this omnibus sometime in 2012 at the Strand in New York. I only went there infrequently in the time that I lived in the area and every visit was an adventure in itself…

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…

Broken Veil (Harbinger #5) by Jeff Wheeler

Narrator: Kate Rudd I've linked all my previous reviews for this series below, you will find the whole list of the previous worlds by the author and the fact that the tie-ins are awesome and do check them all out!    At the beginning of this last installment, we have Cetti who was kidnapped after…

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,…

Thirteen (Eddie Flynn #4) by Steve Cavanagh

The book is still up for request till 13th of August 2019 There is hardly anyone out there (or so I would have to believe) who has not aalready heard of this book. It has the most fascinating tagline which gives the plot of the story away while still not taking the thrill away from…

The Unlikely Life of Maisie Meadows by Jenni Keer

I went on a culling spree and took away two books which I was floundering with on my NetGalley queue and told them why it was not working for me. I have given myself permission to do that because if I had finished struggling through it, I would have actually rated it badly despite it…
