Missed It – The Dark Library by Mary Anna Evans

Missed It – The Dark Library by Mary Anna Evans

I’m halfway through Michael Connelly’s Nightshade, which I’m enjoying, but I’m mad I missed my galley of Mary Anna Evans’ The Dark Library. I’ve known Mary Anna for twenty-two years, and I was looking forward to reading the galley through NetGalley. But, I went to download it today, and I missed it. It’s not released until June 24, but Poisoned Pen Press pulled it early from NetGalley. Now, I’m on the waiting list at the the library. I’m going t…Read Article

Mrs. Pargeter’s Plot by Simon Brett

Mrs. Pargeter’s Plot by Simon Brett

While Simon Brett’s fourth Mrs. Pargeter’s book, Mrs. Pargeter’s Pound of Flesh, was my favorite in the series so far, I had a hard time getting through Mrs. Pargeter’s Plot. The entire situation was a little too bizarre for me. Mrs. P is having a house built on property her husband left her, and it’s one of the men from his address book, Concrete Jacket, who is building it. But, the discovery of a body in a wine cellar sends him to prison, and …Read Article

Murder Takes a Vacation by Laura Lippman

According to Laura Lippman, Mrs. Muriel Blossom first appeared in the novel Another Thing to Fall in 2008. Lippman admits readers occasionally called her out for being ageist and anti-fat when it came to Mrs. Blossom, who did surveillance for PI Tess Monaghan at one point. In Murder Takes a Vacation, Lippman makes it up to Mrs. Blossom, giving her a mystery, an adventure, and an exotic trip. When Mrs. Blossom found a winning lottery ticket in a …Read Article

Kevin’s Corner Annex – No Lie Lasts Forever by Mark Stevens

While I’m up home visiting with family, Kevin Tipple has been working hard to bring you book reviews. I’m not familiar with today’s thriller author, Mark Stevens. Thank you, Kevin, for your review of No Lie Lasts Forever. Mark Steven’s last book, The Fireballer, was a very good book. It was verygood, even though he did not have my team, the Texas Rangers, present inthe read that much and even had the wrong team winning the WorldSeries. That book…Denver, Colorado · Denver Read Article

Kevin’s Corner Annex – Nightshade by Michael Connelly

I’m on my way to my Mom’s for the weekend, to celebrate her birthday. I’ll be driving back on Monday. In the meantime, Kevin Tipple has a few reviews to share, beginning with Michael Connelly’s Nightshade. As usual, there are no spoilers. Thank you, Kevin. For Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Detective Sergeant Stilwell, the posting to Catalina Island was supposed to be a punishment for not playing well with others and failing to play po…California, United States · California Read Article

The Religious Body by Catherine Aird

In 1966, Catherine Aird introduced her series character, Inspector C.D. Sloan of the Calleshire C.I.D., and his supporting cast in the police department in The Religious Body. At the time, The New Yorker “recognized that she was writing an updated version of the classic British mystery.” As a fan of traditional mysteries and police procedurals, I loved this mystery. The series was new to me. How do you deal with a murder when there are over fift…United Kingdom · United Kingdom Read Article

The Spirit Moves by Carol J. Perry

Carol J. Perry’s Haunted Haven mysteries are some of my favorite cozies. I like the setting of Haven, Florida, the Haven House Inn, the ghosts, and the characters. There were a few too many characters in The Spirit Moves, and I had a hard time remembering which members of the local writers’ group wrote which genre, but the villain stood out as a character. Maureen Doherty inherited the Haven House Inn from a complete stranger, Penelope Josephine…Florida, United States · Florida Read Article

Mrs. Pargeter’s Pound of Flesh by Simon Brett

If a health spa sounds like an unlikely spot for Mrs. Pargeter, you’re right. But, the kindly widow agrees to accompany a friend, Kim Thurrock, to Brotherton Hall health spa for a few days. In fact, Mrs. P and Mrs. Thurrock have something in common. They both had husbands who “went away” for a year or more at a time. But, in Simon Brett’s Mrs. Pargeter’s Pound of Flesh, she finally gets revenge for a betrayal, Streatham. When Mrs. P. learns one …England · England Read Article

Bodies and Battlements by Elizabeth Penney

I haven’t read any of the books in Elizabeth Penney’s other cozy series, including the Cambridge Bookshop or Mysteries of Blackberry Valley. But, the first Ravensea Castle mystery, Bodies and Battlements, is one of the best cozy mysteries I’ve read in a while. Ravensea Castle on the Yorkshire coast has been in the Asquith family since 1138. But, the family now needs money for upkeep of the property. Nora Asquith had to fight protesting neighbors…United Kingdom · United Kingdom Read Article
