Spinning in Her Grave by Molly MacRae
I am really enjoying this series. Once in a while there is a small portion that drags, and I am quite sad that there are only five books to this series. In this installment we open with a man wanting to shoot at people from the upper windows of The Weaver’s Cat. Okay, so he […]
Last Wool and Testament by Molly MacRae
This crafty mystery with a paranormal element hits all of the high spots for my interests. MacRae has a book that starts off with a tragedy but the book builds into a wonderfully funny mystery with plenty of interesting characters. Between building a wonderful town full of quirky characters there are enough craft references to […]
Judgement in Death by J.D. Robb
This is a re-read for me and the 11th book in the In Death Series out of 46, the 47th is coming out this September. Both of our hero characters, Eve Dallas and Roarke have shady pasts and murky backgrounds. They are both filled with death and despair, yet somehow the characters have overcome their […]
Knot the Usual Suspects by Molly MacRae
I love the yarn bombing! The characters are still quirky and wonderfully enjoyable. The murder came at the half-way point of the book, it almost seemed forced. The solving of the murder was interesting but sort of rushed and forced feeling. It is unfortunate, but probably for the best, that MacRae stopped writing this series […]
Dance with the Devil by Megan Derr
I read this book strictly for the Book Riot reading challenge. I have read books by Megan Derr before, if they would have just said “a book by a LGBTQ+ author” then I could have read one of the “Princes of the Blood” books that she wrote. I enjoyed that series, there were a few […]
Concealed in Death by J.D. Robb
This is a fairly fast paced murder mystery with an extreme magical bent. Andrews creates a very fascinating world. Her world-building tends to be subtle, sort of getting the gist of things as we go along and the plot unfurls. Honestly, this is the kind of world building that I appreciate. While I rushed through […]
Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews
This is a fairly fast paced murder mystery with an extreme magical bent. Andrews creates a very fascinating world. Her world-building tends to be subtle, sort of getting the gist of things as we go along and the plot unfurls. Honestly, this is the kind of world building that I appreciate. While I rushed through […]
Meet the Font Detective who Ferret Out Fakery
https://www.wired.com/story/meet-the-font-detectives-who-ferret-out-fakery/ This was certainly an interesting article. Any thoughts that I had (which had never occurred to me) about forging any kind of document have gone out the window. The hours that it would take for me to find the ‘right’ font would probably negate any potential benefit. All jesting aside, it is fascinating that […]
Rapture in Death by J. D. Robb
In my pursuit to re-read each of the books in the In Death series I stumbled across this gem. I am truly enjoying rediscovering why I read this series to begin with. This is a suspenseful novel that at times makes you think that Eve is creating links out of the most tenuous of connections […]
