Together, under the direction of Tara’s boss from the mystical firm of Kelethres, Albrecht & Ao, they set out to answer the three simple questions that pop up in any suspicious death: Whodunnit, how, and why? The fact that the who is Kos Everburning, god of the city of Alt Coulumb, does make it a little trickier.
Murder and Mayhem in the Silent Film Era
My dad is a dork. He loves old movies; my sister & I were raise on Jimmy Stewart and Audrey Hepburn, 50s musicals and Some Like it Hot. I could pay my student loans off with how many times I’ve heard “Clara Bow- what a babe!” I read Mann’s How to Be a Movie Star and knew he was well versed in writing about Hollywood- So a true crime story about a murder during the heyday of the silent film era seemed like a fun […]
A frequently failed fictional foray into Shakespeare’s Macbeth
After the fun romp of Interred with their Bones, I was looking forward to Carrell’s next Shakespearean mystery with great anticipation. I wasn’t disappointed to learn that the focus of her second novel is on Macbeth, one of my favorite plays. However, after finally finishing the novel, I am very divided as to my feelings about Haunt Me Still.

Detective story by a horror master

I know murderers exist, and that people have really died in that way, and it just sticks with me […]
Can We Still Be Friends If I Tase You?
The problem with reading the second book in the Veronica Mars book series,Mr. Kiss and Tell, is that now it’s over and I just wanna hang out in Neptune with all of my literary friends. I felt a pang of regret as I closed the book because I wish I could’ve savored it more.But no,I just plowed through the two books this weekend without once thinking of the consequences. And here I am, satisfied by the book but left wishing there were at least […]
A Long Time Ago, We Used To Be Friends
I am fan girling so hard right now. Up until a couple of months ago, I had no idea that the Veronica Mars books had come to fruition. Then lo and behold I start reading reviews on here and I was all,”Waaaaaahhhhh?” Let me tell you a little story of how the first time I saw The V Mars movie, I cried towards the end because I didn’t want to lose her again. I’m mildly psychotic about this fictitious character because we are the […]
