Because I’ve been posting most of my reviews due to Bingo, I haven’t kept up with the leftover ones until now. Hope everyone had a good summer. It’s my least favorite time of year but this one wasn’t so bad. Heartsick***: I took this book too seriously when I tried to read it the first time. I relaxed and enjoyed the ride the second. Goofy fun, nothing more. Brief Answers to the Big Questions****: I do enjoy listening to Hawking’s desire to push the boundaries […]

Freeze Frame

Still Life (Armand Gamache #1) by Louise Penny

August 16, 2024 by Zirza 2 Comments

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is called out to the town of Three Pines, where artist and beloved local icon Jane Neal has been found dead. At first this appears to be a hunting accident; Neal has been shot with an arrow in the middle of the woods. But all is not what it appears, and soon Gamache is trying to decipher who, in this tight-knit and small community could’ve killed Neal. I’m not much of a fan of the whole cozy genre, and I didn’t […]

A Midnight Puzzle by Gigi Pandian

June 30, 2024 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

A Midnight Puzzle is mostly a cozy mystery with the main investigator being a disgraced professional magician who came home to work at the family construction company which specializes in things like hidden doors/staircases and other sort of magic themed set ups. As with most mystery series, this one has both the first murder (and a related disappearance), as well as a longer running one which is always in the background. Tempest, her family, and friends are all fun characters with their own quirks who […]

“All signs point toward your murder.”

How to Solve Your Own Murder (Castle Knoll Files, #1) by Kristen Perrin

June 28, 2024 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 4 Book 4/30 This wasn’t as clever as I wanted it to be, and I think it wasted the premise a bit, but overall I had a fun time reading it, and I finished it in a day, so clearly I can’t have that many complaints. The main plot features Annie Adams learning that she has just been made an inheritor of her great-aunt Frances’s will, a woman she’s never met, and traveling to the small town of Castle […]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
