Five big stars for this one. Here’s a link to my review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...




Very fine debut novel about an unusual Hollywood police detective pursuing a torture killer and also a serial dog poisoner. 4 stars, I liked it very much and I hope Schneider goes on to a long successful career.


My first but not last le Carre novel.

Finished The Conjure-Man Dies: A Mystery Tale of Dark Harlem -- great fun and a mystery I couldn't figure out rght up until the end. This book is supposed to have been the first detective novel written by an African-American person.

Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson I found this book on the boring side
We All Fall Down by Natalie D. Richards Another book I really loved But IMO One Was Lost & Six Months was better book
Amity by Micol Ostow I though this book might be like amityville horror boy was i wrong this book was bloody awful
The Perfect Nanny by Leïla Slimani This book was so good but also very sad too
The Cousins by Karen M. McManus Okay of a book but I think Her One of Us Is Lying and One Of Us Is Next books is better
The Cabin by Natasha Preston Okay of a book but some part of it was very boring and I found myself skipping some pages

Monsters Among Us by Monica Rodden Lady work at the library said I might like this book and lets just say she don't know what she talking about. This book was so damn boring
Confessions on the 7:45 Lisa Unger I really loved this one too I was shock how it ended



Let us know how is the wrong family is. I read the Wives from her and I loved it so I got this on To Read


A small group of older folks who live in a retirement home in England get together weekly to review cold cases, thus the name. But then a real murder occurs and they can't resist getting involved. This is supposedly Osman's first book but it's so good that's hard to believe. This is an absolutely wonderful mystery with a dynamic plot and lovable characters. Highest recommendation, 5 stars.


It is a slow moving book of historical fiction based on an actual duel in 1819 Maryland, US.
I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway.

Now reading Lament for a Maker by Michael Innes (1938). So far it's really good - - and it takes place in an old castle in Scotland. Everything's been laid out by now (at page 165) and I'm stumped.

I just finished The Chocolate Cobweb and enjoyed it as well. Its a shame that she seems to be a largely forgotten author.

I've ordered her first book, The Dream Walker

It's always great to discover a new author that is so good, Patty

Next is the 15th Hamish MacBeth mystery, Death of an Addict
This morning I finished reading Lament for a Maker by Michael Innes. Fun book with a creepy mystery set in a Scottish castle that for me makes it a bit atypical of golden-age mystery novels.

A federal judge harbors a kidnapped girl in an effort to keep her safe, but danger lurks all around.
Not so realistic. 2 stars

I look forward to reading your review Bill.


Here’s a link to my three star review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm about to finish The Abductor by Dolores Hitchens (1962). It's the first half of a two-book volume to be released by Stark House Press in March -- I haven't added the book itself to the GR library, but I will later today. It's really good and keeping me on the edge of my seat.

I realized why that title sounded familiar -- it's part of the Penzler American Mystery Classics series. I've picked up every book so far, but they get shelved right away so I'd forgotten I had this one.
