Rage by Linda Castillo

Rage by Linda Castillo

Tuesday is release day for Linda Castillo’s latest Kate Burkholder mystery, Rage. I’ll be honest. I didn’t find this one near as disturbing and violent as her last one, The Burning. Although the victims were young, naive Amish, I was more upset when I read the last book with the burning deaths. When three Amish children playing hide-and-seek find body parts, Police Chief Kate Burkholder of Painters Mill is the first to respond. It does take a li…Read Article

A Novel Murder by E.C. Nevin

A Novel Murder by E.C. Nevin

It’s obvious that the author of A Novel Murder, a debut mystery, knows her way around the publishing industry and literary festivals. This isn’t a cozy mystery, but it’s a traditional one with likable characters. And, uncovering characters and their truth is what the story is about. Jane Hepburn is a mid-list author with six mysteries in a PI series. But, she’s never put herself forward or sought publicity. Now that her mother, her closest frien…Read Article

The Dark Library by Mary Anna Evans

World War II · New York

The Dark Library by Mary Anna Evans

Several of Mary Anna Evans’ books deal with World War II and secrets. The Dark Library is no exception, although it will take a while to pick up the war connection, other than rationing and shortages. The latest book is a gothic mystery that involves one troubled family. Estella Esker was enjoyed her life in Boston when her beloved housekeeper, Annie, called her home to Bentham-on-Hudson in New York. Her mother was missing, and her professor fat…Read Article

Death at the White Hart by Chris Chibnall

If you’re a fan of the TV show Broadchurch you’ll be delighted to know its creator Chris Chibnall has turned his hand to crime fiction. His transition to novelist is as smooth as you’d expect from someone with his television pedigree. The Death at the White Hart opens with a grisly murder when Jim, the local publican, is found dead, tied to a chair in the middle of a country road, crowned with deer antlers. The set-up is a pure murder mystery wi…New Zealand · New Zealand See the Story

The Stately Home Murder by Catherine Aird

Detective Inspector C.D. Sloan is out of his element when he’s called to investigate a murder in Catherine Aird’s The Stately Home Murder. This mystery is a humorous look inside the home of the Thirteenth Earl of Ornum and his extended family, cousins, aunts, children, nephews, and, of course, the servants that run the house. Several days a week, day trippers can tour Ornum House. If a young boy hadn’t been intrigued by the armor, who knows how …United Kingdom · United Kingdom Read Article

Kevin’s Corner Annex – Sex and Death on the Beach by Elaine Viets

I’m just getting into my next book, so it was time to share one of Kevin Tipple’s reviews. It’s been a number of years since I read one of Elaine Viet’s books. She’s kicking off a new series with Sex and Death on the Beach. Sex and Death on the Beach: A Florida Beach Mystery is the first book in a new cozy mystery series by Elaine Viets. Filled with a host of colorful and eccentric characters, a great setting, a couple of mysteries, and plenty o…Florida, United States · Florida Read Article

Kevin’s Corner Annex – A Fondness for Truth by Kim Hays

Since I’m only a third through my next book, I decided to share Kevin Tipple’s review of a book by one of our own. A Fondness for Truth is the third in Kim Hays’ Linder and Doratelli series. Thank you, Kevin. Following Pesticide and Sons and Brothers, A Fondness for Truth: A Polizei Bern Novel by Kim Hays is the third read in the Linder and Doratelli Mystery series set in Bern, Switzerland. While billed as mysteries, and they are, these are also…Bern · Bern Read Article

All Systems Red by Martha Wells

I’m eight years behind in reading Martha Wells’ first Murderbot Diaries entry, All Systems Red. The short science fiction book won the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards for Best Novella. It won the Alex Award. It was also a bestseller, made into an Apple Original series. I probably won’t go on to read other ones in the series, but I enjoyed this one. It calls itself Murderbot. It’s a self-aware security unit, a ‘droid that provides security for a s…Read Article

Henrietta Who? by Catherine Aird

I can see why Aubrey Hamilton recommended the Inspector Sloan mysteries to me. Henrietta Who? by Catherine Aird has a clever plot. I never guessed the killer because the plot was so well-developed, and there were too many likely suspects. It was Henry Ford, the postman in Larking, who found Grace Jenkins body early in the morning. It was obvious to the police that her death was a hit and run. They called her daughter, Henrietta, home from univer…England · England Read Article

Off to Amish Country

My family is off to Shipshewana, Indiana today for the rest of the week. And, no, Kevin, we’re not going by horse and buggy. But, Shipshewana is in Indiana’s Amish country. We have plans – a play, shops to go to, gardens that look like quilts, meals, and time spent together. So, there’s no book blog today, and I’ll just be on a little bit until next week. Then, I have no trips planned until August, so I’ll be around for the summer.Lancaster, Pennsylvania · Lancaster See the Story
