This is the first book I’ve read by Attica Locke and it definitely won’t be my last. Bluebird Bluebird is a complex and gripping mystery with social commentary that never feels ham-handed or preachy. I enjoyed it so much I may even check out Empire on Hulu (Ms. Locke writes for the show). Darren Matthews has a lot going on. He is a black Texas Ranger is East Texas. His career is in jeopardy after sticking his neck out for a family friend. His […]

A little bit of Rear Window…
I love love love this book!! A number of twists that I did not see coming! I can’t talk too much about it, as I don’t want to give anything away, but as far as suspense thrillers go, this is one of my top 5! A. J. Finn certainly manages to create a gripping tale. The main character, Anna, is rather frustrating, as she is an alcoholic and you often just want to scream at her to not have a glass of wine. However it […]
Could a doll be the link to the missing sister?
Wowsers!! What a fabulous read. I picked this book up purely because it was facing me on the library bookshelf and I needed something new to read. I was not disappointed!! This book magically weaves family generational dynamics with a whole pot of mystery and intrigue. Also add a dash of creepy dolls into the mix and you have a recipe for a book you cannot stop reading!!!! This book follows three generations of a family. From the mother, who has spent her life making […]
My break up letter to Janet Evanovich
Ah Janet. Where to begin. Or should I start saying, “when should I stop?” I am an avid fan of the Stephanie Plum series. And as I mentioned in a previous review, despite being up to book 24 in the Stephanie Plum series, and despite every book following the same formula, each book is a quick easy read guaranteed to have me chuckling. Every now and again I venture out and try one of Janet’s other book endeavours. So I read Curious Minds. I […]
Ramblings of a Jo Nesbo fan.
Yes I still love Jo Nesbo, and yes, I will continue to read his books until he begins to disappoint. However that has not happened yet!! I have happened upon a Jo Nesbo series that does not involve Harry Hole. Gasp! I spent a long time in these books waiting for everything to go wrong and murders to be committed etc (just like the Harry Hole books), but this series is definitely not the same. Yes it has the same stylings of Jo’s writing, his […]
