"A Death In The Small Hours"

"A Death In The Small Hours"

by

Charles Finch

To quote a review; "This is a tidy little mystery set in Victorian England."   Another "Cozy," played out in a small English town.  Nice.  But I didn't enjoy the Cricket description.  -pout-

Me thinks' I should try an earlier book, in this Series...  When the main man is still sleuthing more...

"Brownies and Broomsticks"

"Brownies and Broomsticks"

by

Bailey Cates

 

Delightful First, in the new "A Magical Bakery Mystery" Series.  Hooray!

Loved it.  Another gentle Magical Mystery Cozy.  Set in (and around) opening a Bakery, in Savannah's quaint downtown district.

 

While getting ready to open the Honeybee Bakery...  Katie notices that her aunt is adding mysterious herbs to her recipes. Turns out these herbal enhancements aren't just tasty...  It seems that Aunt Lucy is  a gentle Witch.

 

And it turns out that Katie too, has inherited magical powers.  

 

Another gentle cozy.  I recommend it.  :-)

"A Killer Read"

"A Killer Read" by Erika Chase

Delightful Cozy Mystery.  Just delightful.  I so enjoyed the heroine, the town she lives in, her home, her friends, homes of her friends, etc., etc., etc.  Each time I picked the book up again, it was like returning to a great place to visit.  As it were.  :-)

Good story line.  Kept me guessing.  And the author has an interesting way of describing most everything...  Like the outfit, "Lizzie" chooses.  And the colors, decor of places "Lizzie" visits, etc.  I really enjoyed this aspect of the book.

Oh, best of all...  This is a first book in a Series!  Must get the 2nd book, quickly.  :-)

"White Nights"

"White Nights" by Ann Cleeves

This is the second book I've read, by Ann Cleeves.  The cover art seems to draw me in.  :-)  And she does write thrillers!  Mysteries!  And keeps me guessing!  

Set in the Shetland Islands off of Scotland, the books are very atmospheric and rather dark and stark and the like.  Which I've enjoyed......

In "White Nights," the main character got a wee bit irritatingly "emo" though.  He kept "second guessing" himself and "thinking too much," in regard to personal things.  It irritated me.  But!  Not enough, to put me off of finishing the book!  I HAD to know, how it all played out!!!!!!!!!!!! 

So, what more could you ask of a thriller, hu?  :-)

"A Room Full of Bones"

"A Room Full of Bones" by Elly Griffiths

The 4th book in the 'Ruth Galloway Mystery Series'...  I've been reading this "Ruth Galloway Mystery Series" in all sorts of hap-hazard fashion!  LOL.  Read the 2nd one, before the 1st.  Now read the 4th, after reading the 5th.

I love the whole series, and have been able to follow along, even with my random method.  No, I don't suggest that anyone else do it this way!  

Get "The Crossing Places."  And I bet you'll be intrigued by "Ruth," not your usual gorgeous heroine.  And doesn't that, sound like a great idea???

"Bayou Moon"

"Bayou Moon"  by C.L. Bevill

Loved this book and it kept me guessing, guessing, guessing.  Hometown girl (Mignon) returns to her hometown of LaValle, Louisiana to investigate what really happened to her mother, years ago.

You've got that intriguing title... set in the deep south...  an antebellum mansion... the "have's" and the "have not's"...  how they interact... years ago and to this day... murder... secrets... revenge... etc.  Oh, and add a ghostly touch too.

Deeeeelicious!!!!!!!!!!
