Entertaining enough, but disappointing

Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz

January 18, 2020 by KimMiE" 2 Comments

 Warning: While I try to avoid any outright spoilers, you might want to skip this review if you are planning on reading this novel. Summary: I found Moriarty entertaining enough, but compared to the fabulous House of Silk, it’s downright disappointing. Kind of like how Cars would be a decent enough animated movie from any other studio, but from the studio that created Toy Story, WALL-E, and The Incredibles, you’re like “Lame, Pixar.” Now, the review: I’m sitting in a little Japanese restaurant eating my lunch, […]

All hail Karen, queen of the mic drop book ending.

One of Us is Next by Karen M McManus

January 16, 2020 by scootsa1000 2 Comments

Disclaimer: Karen McManus and I went to college together. I am very good friends with her old roommate. Karen has been a huge supporter of the Cannonball Read in the past. I would never review one of her books if I wasn’t going to give it a big thumbs up. And so, with that out of the way, I’m happy to report that One of Us is Next, the sequel to her fun and amazingly popular debut, One of Us is Lying, is just as […]

Such a Perfect Wife by Kate White

January 15, 2020 by Melina Leave a Comment

        Such a Perfect Wife is about the abduction and murder of Shannon Blaine…and then it isn’t…at all. True Crime writer Bailey Weggins comes to Lake George to write about the unfolding mystery of the disappearance and possible death of Shannon Blaine, 34, gorgeous, wife, mother, and physically fit runner. She disappears while running, which is why I don’t run. I kid, I kid. I don’t run because I ran so much in high school sports my knees are shot. And no, […]

It’s Basically a Hallmark Movie…and I Was OK with That

Small Town Rumors by Carolyn Brown

January 13, 2020 by Melina Leave a Comment

CW: Stillbirth Small Town Rumors is about exactly that…our main character Jennie Sue returns from New York to her hometown in Texas after her husband leaves her for another woman and attempting to evade the FBI because of the diamond trade? I’m not totally sure on that one…but just know, he’s an awful human being, who gets no development other than he’s terrible.  Jennie Sue’s mother only sees a woman who hasn’t been keeping up with her hair, nails and weight and actively harasses her […]

Magically Suspicious

The Zig-Zag Girl by Elly Griffiths

January 10, 2020 by BlackRabbit Leave a Comment

Obviously, there are parallels between the work of learning sleight-of-hand and sweating out a book. It’s a credit to her skill that she was able to use one to accurately portray the other.

Living Dead Girls

Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

January 10, 2020 by BlackRabbit Leave a Comment

It’s a roller-coaster ride, no doubt. One filled with swords and skeletons. Which begs the question: can a necromancer be ride-or-die? Or are they ride-AND-die?
