No No No

Revisado: 02-11-25

I will never endorse a book that sacrifices innocent animals for the whims of two main figures in a book, who, by the way, are vile human beings. There is *nothing* to mitigate the horrid nature of the two fighting parties in this novel, an elderly woman and an eight-year-old boy. Not worth the time to read this.

Another winner!

Revisado: 11-02-24

I love this series new series. I cannot wait for the next one. The characters are terrific, and the stories are suspenseful.

Excellent!

Revisado: 11-01-24

I hope this terrific novel is the first of many in the new series. My only complaint is that it was a bit heavy on the flashbacks, but that seems to be the case with all suspense/mystery novels these days. Still, a great read!

A bit far-fetched for me

Revisado: 10-28-24

First, I loved The Quarry Girls by this author, so to be fair, I was hoping for something along those lines. This started out good, if a bit slow, but then got too far-fetched for me. (At least I hope it’s far-fetched!)

It’s Okay to Give This One a Miss

Revisado: 09-13-24

I’m usually up for a Murder, She Wrote book - even the ones that feel like an 8 hour Grady and Frank recess. But this book bored me to tears. No familiar characters, and the unfamiliar ones are soooo dull. No reason for Jessica to become involved. Just endless hours of asking myself “isn’t it time to go home to Cabot Cove yet?” Don’t feel guilty if you skip this one in the series altogether!

5 hours in and…

Revisado: 07-08-24

5 hours in and NOTHING has happened. This is a new-to-me author, so it could be that I have unrealistic expectations. But the last 5 hours have been a bore.

Not For Me

Revisado: 06-29-24

I’m normally a big fan of Lucy Foley, so I was excited for this one to come out. Perhaps just a matter of taste, but this is my least favorite by this author. I’d classify it as *maybe* suspense with some supernatural overtones. But even calling it suspenseful seems a bit deceiving. It isn’t scary, it’s most definitely not a whodunnit as there is no primary murder to solve until far, far along in the plot. It might be considered a coming-of-age book with some light suspense thrown in. That seems like a pretty close description. Lots of readers will like it - just not up my alley. I’ll anxiously await her next book.

More Harbinder, Please!

Revisado: 06-16-24

As enjoyable as this book was, I so miss the focus on Harbinder and her lovely, humorous parents. With the recent books in this series, Harbinder has become a minor character, and the series, while still good, is so similar to others that it hardly stands out from the crowd.

For anyone who hasn’t read the first and second installments in this series, treat yourself. You won’t be disappointed!

6 hours in and NOTHING has happened!

Revisado: 04-01-24

It will be a miracle if I survive another 6 hours of this book. Sorry but comparable to Ruth Ware??? In what universe? This is actually worse than watching paint dry. (If I finish this book, I hope I can edit this review and that the second half will have had some redeeming value.)

Some of the voices were irritating

Revisado: 03-16-24

This was not one of my favorites of Dame Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple novels to begin with, but the irritating voices chosen for a number of the characters in the audio version are awful to listen to. I love other narrations by Emilia Fox, but for some reason the screeching of some of the female characters in this audiobook make it nearly impossible to enjoy. As far as the plot, it is fine - just don’t expect it to be one of Christie’s best.
