Psycho by the Sea by Lynne Truss

I have reviewed another book by the author in this series : here Narrated by Matt Green I liked the other book that I read out of context in the series but was not fascinated by it. When I saw this as an audiobook, I had to give it another shot.I loved the narrative style…

Written in Bone by Sue Black

I have read and reviewed the author's previous work on the blog : here. Also the post where I had the most conversation on comments ever! This book is probably an easier read (despite the contents) for those who like to dabble in True Crime/Forensics than the author's previous work. There is lesser personal information…

Yours Cheerfully (The Emmy Lake Chronicles #2) by A.J. Pearce

I read and reviewed the previous book here. I reviewed it in the beginning of 2020 and the tone clearly indicates I had no idea how our year(S) were to turn out! I did not 'feel' the first book, but when I saw the next was out, I decided to pick it up anyway. Surprisingly…

We have a young Sherlock Holmes recovering from his adventures to clear his mother's name. His mother is not quite the character depicted in the Netflix show Enola…

Judge’s Girls by Sharina Harris

I have read and reviewed another book by the author : here I picked this book up solely because I read and liked the author's previous work. I did not even pay attention to the blurb when finally getting around to it. I have not read too many books by people of colour in the…

Plastic Free: The Inspiring Story of a Global Environmental Movement and Why It Matters by Rebecca Prince-Ruiz, Joanna Atherfold Finn

I read quite a few zero waste books and Plastic-related ones as well since I first got clued in to the reality of the issues around us. It is surprising how blind I was to my own footprint a few years ago! I made a significant stride forward as long as I lived in HK…
