I finished reading the debut novel of G.M. Malliet’s, Death of a Cozy Writer. It was very good, a very satisfying murder mystery. It was the 2008 winner of the Agatha Award for First Novels. That’s an award given for first novels written in Agatha Christie’s style. The author did a great job doing that [...] Author: Louise Penny Publisher: Minotaur, 2011 Genre: Mystery My Rating: A+ Summary: In the Quebec village of Three Pines, it’s the month of April. Residents are hiding eggs and preparing for seasonal parties. But, there’s also something unusual: there is a real witch staying at the B and B. Just for fun, some of the [...] Author: Hallie Ephron Publisher: William Morrow, February 28, 2012 Summary: Diana has become a recluse ever since her boyfriend died a little over a year ago. She is vey tech-savvy and spends all of her time in cyberspace. She’s a former hacker, but now she is a partner in an online security business.

They are usually a good clean, non-complicated story with a background of faith. Falling to Pieces is all of that and then some. There are some [...] I’m not sure why I haven’t read one of Harlan Coben’s books before but, I saw an audiobook of his at the library prior to the Read-A-Thon and decided to try it. It was just right for the Read-A-Thon. I had chicken-duty and other chores that day, so it made a good accompaniment. There were [...] Author: C.C. Harrison Publisher: Five Star Publishing, 2011 Genre: Mystery My Rating: B Summary: Journalist Keegan Thomas has been given an old photo of her grandfather. In addition to her grandfather, a group of people, adults and children, are in the photo. Keegan doesn’t know any of them. The picture was taken in the 1950s [...] As I’ve mentioned before, I like Mickey Haller. He’s Michael Connelly‘s favorite defense attorney. He might be just a notch above slimy but he’s smart and knows how to fight and manipulate a legal case in favor of his clients. Plus, he’s fun to follow. In The Fifth Witness, we find that Mickey has been [...] I just finished listening to an excellent audiobook: Dance Hall of the Dead. It’s the second book written by Tony Hillerman in 1973. If you’ve read any of Tony Hillerman’s books, then you know Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn. In this story he’s dealing the murder of a Zuni boy and the disappearance of his best friend, [...] |
