When you’re a debt filled nuisance…

August 13, 2018 by KB Leave a Comment

  This is the second Ann Granger book that I have read, and I’m pleased to say that it is on par with her last. Ann Granger is definitely the author for people who enjoys mysteries but don’t like to think too much. And I say that not as an insult, but as a compliment. I personally enjoy a good mystery that I can sink my teeth into and try and unravel all of the threads that continue to appear. However, every now and again […]

Boston’s Supernatural side

August 13, 2018 by KB Leave a Comment

  Not what I expected!! I have not read any other books by Heather Graham, so I was not prepared for this. Having no knowledge of the ‘Krewe of Hunters” I was exceptional freaked out when ghosts started appearing in this book. It soon became apparent that that is what the Krewe of Hunters do – they are a branch of the FBI that solve crimes with the assistance of ghosts. Once I established this, the book became a lot more palatable. I don’t mind […]

A murder in a rich family.

August 13, 2018 by KB Leave a Comment

  I loved this book! A fantastic suspense novel that kept me enthralled, curious, engaged and completely surprised. The pace of the book was perfect, drip feeding clues and slowly revealing more information. An excellent balance between the main crime and building characters, back stories, more mysteries and intriguing characters. The story follows the finding of a rich girl, Andrea, murdered and found underneath a frozen lake. We are introduced to the main detective Erika Foster as she returns to work and is put on […]

CBR10Bingo: Cannonballer Says I’ve tried to branch out more into other genres and new authors with my reading this year, and some of the bigger gaps in my library include YA and lesbian lit. Just my luck, then, that MrsLangdonAlger posted a review for not one but two YA coming out novels with female protagonists: Ask the Passengers by A.S. King and It’s Not Like It’s a Secret by Misa Sugiura. I’ve had an eye out for both books for a few months now, finally […]

She squeezes his fingers and he can feel her love travelling all the way down from her heart to his

CBR10Bingo: Snubbed I first saw Kit de Waal’s name earlier this year on a couple lists of highly-anticipated new books for 2018. Since I rarely buy hardcover books and knew I’d have to wait a bit for The Trick to Time, I added her previous novel, My Name is Leon, to my wishlist and purchased it a few months later having finally found it in an English bookstore in Stockholm, of all places. After reading it, I can understand why people were excited for her […]

The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father

August 12, 2018 by KimMiE" 8 Comments

My first CBR 10 Bingo entry: Not my wheelhouse! I don’t read much history and I don’t read many biographies; an historical biography might be an actual first for me. I confess, I was swept away by the Hamilton Mania triggered by Lin-Manual Miranda’s fabulous musical about the founding father who grew up an orphan, immigrated to America, fought in the American Revolution, started the First Bank of the United States, and died as a result of a gunshot wound administered by Aaron Burr. Let’s […]
