Carolyn | 9836 comments My review of Death by Beach Read (Lighthouse Library Mystery #9) by Eva Gates Death by Beach Read by Eva Gates, a cosy mystery I requested from Netagalley without checking if it was part of a series - it's #9 but still worked well as a stand alone, although there's clearly a lot that's happened before in this small town.

A Tidy Ending by Joanna Cannon
This is a well-rated book but I didn't like the story as much as I had expected. The ending was farfetched. So here's my outlier 2-star review.

Make Me Disappear is Jessica Payne's debut novel: a gripping page-turner that is also very entertaining.
