Mystery
Coincidentally in Venice by Kate Zarrelli | Book Review
This book begins with two best friends, Ashley and Juliet planning to go to Venice then Covid hits and their plans are put on hold. However they see the city through webcams until they are able to finally make the trip. I will say this book had a lot going on. I enjoyed the friendship…
Something More To Say by Tony J Forder | Book Review
DI Jimmy Bliss is back and while I haven’t met him before now I was thrilled at the introduction. He is the head (in a civilian capacity) of the Unsolved Murders Team which is like the Cold Case Squads we have here in the States. To add to that he is also the SIO (Senior…

Identity by Nora Roberts | Book Review
One thing I always love about Nora Roberts is her ability to draw the reader into her world and make you feel as though you are right there with the characters. It is a talent that has always amazed me and one of the biggest reasons I enjoy her books so much.
The Match by Harlan Coben | Book Review
This is the sequel to The Boy in the Woods, which I haven’t read. I will say after reading this one I think I should have read the first one. While this does work as a stand alone I think I felt as though I missed out on learning more about Wilde. He grew up…

The Prisoner of Paradise by Rob Samborn | Book Review
This one grabbed my attention and didn’t let go. When I said I was going to branch out with my reading this is what I meant. The intrigue in this was more than I expected but in the best possible way. This is Rob Samborn’s debut novel and I would say he knocked it out…

Red Bones by Ann Cleeves | Book Review
Even though this is the third book in the series it is the first that I read. I watched the television show and that led me to the books. Since this was the first episode I wanted to read it so badly. That led me to begin the series out of order. Honestly I don’t…
