DI Gravel is interesting, but I’m not sure he’s great at his job?

Shockingly I started the DI Gravel series at book number two! It was actually really good (as far as I can remember). I definitely remember liking DI Gravel as a character. Like I said in the title though, I’m not sure he’s great as an investigator. I don’t think he actually solved the crimes in the second book, and I don’t think he actually solved the crimes in this first book either. The bad dude kidnaps a college student named Emma and keeps her a […]

Something that happened in the ’80’s can be history, right?

Robert Pickton: The Pig Farmer Serial Killer (Crimes Canada: True Crimes That Shocked The Nation Book 1) by Chris Swinney

So my friend got me started listening to a true crime podcast based on the most recent story she heard. It was about a pig farmer named Robert Pickton. He was apparently a semi-notorious Canadian serial killer. I didn’t even know that Canada had serial killers! She told me about a book that they kept mentioning, but it was like $15 and I didn’t feel like spending any money that day, so I borrowed the Kindle Unlimited version of the story from Amazon. Well, it […]

Would you have stopped? Would it have made a difference?

The Breakdown by B. A. Paris

Imagine you’re driving down a super dark, windy road, full of twists and turns. There are dips and bumps, and it’s raining. The trees feel like they’re closing in on you, but you see headlights up ahead! Almost too late, you realize the car is stopped, and you have to swerve around them. Is the person stranded? Do you stop and help them? You don’t want to get out in the rain… This is the premise of The Breakdown. The main character – Cass […]

What if you weren’t sure if your old friend murdered his entire family?

The Dry by Jane Harper

My sister gave me this book to read after she read the entire thing on our Christmas vacation at the end of last year in like two days. She loved it, and she wanted me to love it too. Unfortunately my to be read pile was waaaay too high, and it takes me a while to read “actual” books, so it took me a while to get to this book. Fortunately though, I read it in two days! It was really good. I liked the […]

Did she kill him or nah?

Silent Victim by Caroline Mitchell

I’m writing this review and my previous one back to back. It’s only serving to prove my previous hypothesis – I read a lot of books about people being gaslit! I actually enjoyed this one though. The people were much less dumb than the previous one. So we’re introduced to Emma, a “typical” wife and mother, but she has a secret. Well, she has a few, but there’s one big one. She murdered her art teacher that she had an “affair” with when she was […]

Ooh I hate read most of this book!

What Have You Done by Matthew Farrell

Somehow I end up reading a lot of books where one of the main characters is gaslighted a lot. I’m totally not into that in real life, but apparently I’m into reading about it? Is there something wrong with me? I guess I’ll have to discuss that with my therapist. Note to self: get therapist. Anyway, our intrepid hero Liam is a forensic crime scene technician, and he’s called to a scene that scares him one day. It’s a woman he was having an affair […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
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.
