Book Review: Trail of Echoes
Trail of Echoes by Rachel Howzell Hall My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’m not sure I can add anything to what’s been said about Rachel Howzell Hall. But I can confirm it.

Book Review: Whispers in the Mist
Whispers in the Mist by Lisa Alber My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read Kilmoon, the first in the County Clare mysteries, shortly after it came out and was intrigued by the characters and setting.

Book Review: Blonde Ice
Blonde Ice by R.G. Belsky My rating: 4 of 5 stars I picked up this book on the advice of a friend. “You’ll love it.” I did. I confess that I sometimes saw where the plot was going. I didn’t care. The writing “voice” and the main character were so compelling that I just had … Continue reading "Book Review: Blonde Ice"

Bouchercon Memories
In some ways it doesn’t seem that long. In some ways it feels longer. But it was a mere week ago that I was sitting on my hotel bed with my husband, exhausted after touring the French Quarter, watching the latest Star Trek movie and eating potato chips for dinner. Yes, potato chips. All week I’ve … Continue reading "Bouchercon Memories"

Bouchercon 2016: I Am Ready for Launch
Mary Sutton / @mary_sutton73 It all started with a short story. Well, that’s not exactly accurate. But to get to the beginning, we have to jump in the Way Back machine and rewind to October 2015. A year ago, I attended Bouchercon 2015 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Despite some travel snafus (one, who knew construction … Continue reading "Bouchercon 2016: I Am Ready for Launch"

Book Review: The Ninja’s Daughter
The Ninja’s Daughter: A Hiro Hattori Novel by Susan Spann My rating: 4 of 5 stars I must be honest. Were I passing a table full of books, I’m not sure this would be my first choice. 1500s Japan? A samurai/shinobi and Jesuit priest duo? I’m not sure that my “thing.” I would be wrong. … Continue reading "Book Review: The Ninja’s Daughter"

Book Review: Only Ever You
Only Ever You by Rebecca Drake My rating: 4 of 5 stars The industry is buzzing with the term “domestic thriller.” And I’m not really sure what that is. But I do know I enjoyed this book. Drake has created a good story that will resonate especially well with parents, but should strike a chord … Continue reading "Book Review: Only Ever You"
