I have read every book in this series and it just keeps getting better. However, I do have to admit that this was my favorite so far. I would even go so far as to say read it first. The author gives the reader enough backstory that it could be read on its own. However … Continue reading Missing or Dead – A Tracey Marks Mystery #3 by Ellen Shapiro

Welcome to the Punkhorns by Benjamin Bradley
I had no idea what a Punkhorn was before I started this book. Now – I think I may just avoid them if I ever see them. This was a well-done mystery inside of a mystery with some wonderful subplots and characters. Urban legends are at the heart of this story, and their belief by … Continue reading Welcome to the Punkhorns by Benjamin Bradley
Malice in Miama (Jamie Quinn Mystery #6) by Barbara Venkataraman
I was thrilled to see that the author was continuing this series. It’s been a couple of years and I was a little concerned jumping back in that I might not be able to catch up, but the author does such a nice job that it could be read on its own. However, I happily … Continue reading Malice in Miama (Jamie Quinn Mystery #6) by Barbara Venkataraman
Hippie Hollow: Murder on a Nude Beach: A B.B. Rivers Mystery, Book One by Denniger Bolton
As you know, I get a lot of books. I pick them up all over the place, authors and publicists send them to me, friends refer, other bloggers share. I am not sure where I picked this one up, but it has been sitting on the to-read shelf for a while (maybe 2 years). It … Continue reading Hippie Hollow: Murder on a Nude Beach: A B.B. Rivers Mystery, Book One by Denniger Bolton
Operation Varsity Blues (A Kahale and Claude Mystery Book 3) by Timothy Baldwin
This is a great mystery series for middle and high schoolers. And frankly, I have also enjoyed it. The author is a teacher who has vast experience with middle school and high school, so he is spot on when it comes to exactly knowing what this reader will enjoy. The series involves four friends who … Continue reading Operation Varsity Blues (A Kahale and Claude Mystery Book 3) by Timothy Baldwin
Murphy, Murphy: And the Case of Serious Crisis by Keith Hirshland
Winner of Book Talk Radio Book Club - Best Book 2020 OK – there is grammar humor – what more could an editor possibly want? I’m also a huge fan of Jasper Fforde, and this book nicely follows behind (I could not help myself!) his style. Detective Murphy Murphy, who works in the Department of … Continue reading Murphy, Murphy: And the Case of Serious Crisis by Keith Hirshland
BloodLaw (Vampire Chicago) by Blaise Ramsay
Do you like quirky? I do. This book is a gritty detective type novel set during Prohibition in Chicago – mob bosses and all. Oh, did I mention the vampires – yeah, that’s where the twist occurs. What happens when someone puts Alastair down for a dirt nap, but he just won’t stay down? As … Continue reading BloodLaw (Vampire Chicago) by Blaise Ramsay

The Angel Street Assassination (Bennett & DeMarko Mystery Series Book 5) by Aaron S Gallagher
Full disclosure – I love this series, I’ve read all of this series and I have had the privilege of editing the last couple books in this series (see dedication!). When the author told me this book would be a bit of a wrap up for the drama and angst that has been Harry & … Continue reading The Angel Street Assassination (Bennett & DeMarko Mystery Series Book 5) by Aaron S Gallagher
Camp Lenape – Audio Book by Timothy Baldwin
Back in March, I reviewed this book but when a short road trip appeared on my horizon, I loaded the audio version for entertainment. I already knew it was a great story. The audiobook was wonderful. The two people reading the book did an excellent job and I was once again pulled back into summer … Continue reading Camp Lenape – Audio Book by Timothy Baldwin
