This has definitely been one of my more entertaining reads so far this year. The third novel in the series, this novel once again features Carl Morck and Department Q of Copenhagen’s police force. Just like in his last two novels, Adler-Olsen flashes back and forth between the cold case squad and either the victims or perpetrators of a current crime that relates to the investigation. One reason I think I like these as much as I do is that unlike many other crime novels, […]

Badkittyuno’s Review #7: Fear Nothing by Dean Koontz
“Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this life–and they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.” I love this book. I really do.

Badkittyuno’s Review #6: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
“Rule number one: Always stick around for one more drink. That’s when things happen. That’s when you find out everything you want to know.” Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is probably the best of the (six) books I’ve read so far this year. I’m hardly surprised, since I loved The City of Falling Angels by Berendt as well. He has a great writing style that makes his stories easy to read, and hard to remember that they’re not fiction. The events of Midnight in […]
Prayers for the Last Page
Karen Nichols appears to have the picture perfect life, but she comes to Patrick Kenzie, PI, when she starts having problems with an aggressive stalker. (Quick side note: someone who reviewed this book on Goodreads kept referring to Karen’s “stocker” problem, which made it sound like someone was forcibly stocking her pantry). Patrick takes care of the stalker and goes on about his life. Six months later, Karen kills herself. Patrick takes it personally, assuming that he could have done something more to help her. […]
Don’t Turn Your Back!
If anyone can come up with a better title feel free. It was much easier when the title was the name of the book! I am assuming that anyone reading this review knows well of Harry Dresden as this is book 11, but I hate to be exclusive, so anyone reading this who doesn’t I shall nutshell it for you: PI Wizard working in modern-day chicago fighting many life and world threatening supernatural foes; wisecracking hero with big heart, think Indiana Jones has a child […]
