Six responsible adults. Three cute kids. One small dog. It’s just a normal weekend. What could possibly go wrong? Once again, Liane Moriarty weaves a tale of suburban couples and what goes on below a seemingly serene surface. In this book, there was an incident at a barbeque that has three couples dealing with the fall out. The tale is told the same way as in Big Little Lies in that the we see events from different perspectives and it jumps back and forth between […]
Nothing from the past can make me anything less than whoever it is I wish to be.
The new Kelly Bowen book is here! I’m such a Bowen fangirl! This is the third book in the Season for Scandal series, and it was worth the wait. Ms Bowen writes some of the best historical romance I’ve read in a long time. I’ve read all of her books now, and they’re all well written with characters that I enjoy. And of course, my romance loving soul is warmed by the way she is able to meld the sizzle of the attraction with the […]
Death of an Author
This second book by J.K. Rowling aka Robert Galbraith brings us back to the world of Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott. After solving the case of Lula Landry in the previous book, Strike is somewhat more well known now. He’s had steady work, moved out of his office into a cramped apartment (a small step, but moving on nonetheless). A new case has just opened up for him, involving missing author Owen Quine. His wife is convinced that Quine is just off on a jaunt […]
One Fell Out of the Cuckoo’s Nest
It’s been awhile since I’ve read a murder mystery (no kissing in this book!), but I’d been intrigued about these books by J.K. Rowling written under a pseudonym for awhile. I’ve read all the Harry Potter books, and enjoyed them immensely, so I was curious to see how she would do with the real world. Instead of wizards and magic we are presented with the death of a superstar model, a person who is regarded in society as being elevated above the rest of us […]
The Raven & The Hellcat
I enjoyed the first book in this series a lot, but found the second one here lacking somewhat. Our heroine, Heloise, is the sister for Nicolas from the first book. She’s a codebreaker, working to decipher documents for the government so she’s portrayed as a smart young woman. She’s convinced no one will ever marry her, since she has a scar on her forehead from an incident in her youth. Her secret vice is naughty underthings, since her mother taught her that ‘you never know […]
No rogues here, just a boring tale
Well, I’ve not read anything by Mary Jo Putney before, so this was an impulse grab at the library. It turned out to be a bad choice – it was a bit of a dud. I wasn’t sure if I was going to finish it or not, but I skimmed through parts of it just to get through it. The plots (there’s more than one going on) seemed predictable, and the characters weren’t that memorable. The hero wasn’t a rogue in the least, either, so […]
