Aimee Sinclair is an up and coming starlet who is just wrapping up shooting on her latest movie. She arrives home to find her husband gone and his wallet and cell on the coffee table. She initially doesn’t think much of this since they had a bad fight the night before. Unfortunately, as more evidence mounts that something more sinister is happening, it’s clear the police think Aimee is responsible. In alternating chapters, we learn the story of a young girl who wanders off […]

Yay for Pajibans that write!

Lucky Town by Peter Vonder Haar

August 20, 2019 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

I read this book through my Kindle Unlimited membership. Peter Vonder Haar’s Lucky Town is the first book in the Clarke and Clarke Mysteries. He is a Pajaiban, and awesome. I really liked this book a lot. I used to play spot the CIA agent in my work at the National Archives because you have to protect people’s identities while they still might be alive, so one of the side characters made me smile. I liked the main brother and sister duo of Charlie and […]

A lady detective in the Windy City

Breakdown by Sara Paretsky

April 30, 2019 by Wanderlustful 1 Comment

Breakdown is a somewhat recent (2012) addition to Sara Paretsky’s Chicago-based V.I. Warshawski detective series (started in 1982, Breakdown is the 15th out of 20 V.I. novels). This outing kicks off with V.I. leaving a fancy awards gala to help her cousin track down a group of missing teenage girls who have snuck out to re-enact scenes from the latest teen novel sensation, a vampire thriller. V.I. finds the girls in a rainy graveyard, right next to the still-warm corpse of a small-time Chicago private […]

A Joyous Reintroduction to My True Love

Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty

January 13, 2019 by GoAllieGo 2 Comments

Long ago, I accepted my own propensity for being terrible at doing certain things “on time.” Especially if it has to do with sending mail or letters, holidays, birthdays, cards, and actually writing things down… I will probably drag my feet, get wrapped up in emotions, focus too much on perfectionism, and fail at accomplishing my postal-related goals. Six Wakes was one of my beautiful, shiny, inspiring Xmas exchange gifts from MsWas. Guess who didn’t write a post when she got her box? Me. Shameful, […]

The Forgotten is Not One to Remember

The Forgotten by Faye Kellerman

January 4, 2019 by Wanderlustful 1 Comment

This was the first Faye Kellerman novel that I’ve read, and my reasons for starting off the 2019 CBR challenge with it were two-fold: 1) I love a good mystery/ detective fiction novel; and 2) this was on my bookshelf one of my 2019 goals is to read through the books I already own. Unfortunately, this novel never quite gelled for me. It wasn’t horrible- I was invested enough to finish and find out ‘who done it’- but I also won’t be seeking out any […]

Where are my Lady Sherlock fans?

December 3, 2018 by Debcapsfan 5 Comments

I got a little thrill this year when I told Sherry Thomas on Twitter I was so excited for this book, and she liked my status. The Hollow of Fear is the third book in the Sherry Thomas series. For those who are fans of the slow burn romance between Lord Ingram and Charlotte Holmes, there are heartbreaking and breathtaking moments between those two. If that’s all we got, I would have been satisfied. There’s also a mystery involving Lady Ingram, who suddenly turns up […]

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.
