What would you do if you knew your mother was a murderer? Get all murdery?

December 31, 2017 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

  Ok so this was book one in a series that I of course started at book three! I liked the characters from boom three, so I decided to start the series from the beginning. So far, I think there are three or four books. Our intrepid British detectives are faced with a gruesome murder that looks a lot like one committed a few decades ago. Then a man comes forward claiming to have committed the murder, and he also believes he’s the son of […]

I did it again – started a series at Book 3!!!

December 19, 2017 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

So if you read my review that I just posted (#58 – somehow I didn’t catch that this one was #57, leave me alone, it’s almost Christmas), you’ll know that I have a tendency to start series at number two or number three.  I don’t know why, I guess books just catch my eye, and I don’t know they’re series until it’s too late.  This one is book three in the DI Jackman and DS Evans series.  I found out this was a series when […]

Investigating the Texas Yogurt Shop Murders

November 3, 2017 by LadyStardust Leave a Comment

I am probably one of many who picked this up after it was name-checked during My Favorite Murder’s discussion of the Texas Yogurt Shop Murders, and I found it to be incredibly informative, not just concerning the crimes, but also the factors that have made it so notorious, and so hard to solve. Beverly Lowry’s detailed account explores the facts of the horrifying crime, from the girls’ lives and families, the landscape of Austin before and after, through the decades long investigation. But it isn’t […]

If you can handle the multiple animals in peril, it’s a good read

October 17, 2017 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

Ok I have to get this out of the way first.  Multiple animals are in peril in this book.  Some don’t make it.  I had a little bit of a hard time with some of it.  I’ll lay out the basics, and you can decide if you can handle it.  A dog dies, but we didn’t meet her first, and there are literally no details about it.  This one normally would’ve been rough for me, but because there aren’t any details, and it’s only brought […]

A quaint little murder mystery, but did anyone actually get murdered?

September 28, 2017 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

Ok so this was another one of my random pickups at the library.  It had death in the title, so I figured I’d like it.  I think I did?  It was an audiobook, so the fact that it felt like I was being read to by a little old lady really soothed me.  No offense to Cynthia Darlow, I have no idea how old she is, but she sounded to me like a little old lady.  I mean that in the best way possible.  This […]

OMG this was bad. Like bad, but I still wanted to read it bad.

September 19, 2017 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

Thank goodness I borrowed this ebook for free from the library.  The last ebook I reviewed here (Sense and Insensibility), I paid about $4 for, and I would’ve paid double, because it was awesome.  I just went to Amazon to get the link for this post, and saw that this is $7.  I maybe maybe maybe would’ve paid a dollar, but absolutely no more than that.  Anyway, like my title says, it was not a good book.  However, I wanted to read it to the […]
