Crime on the Fens by Joy Ellis is a great start to her series featuring DI Nikki Galena, a detective who doesn't also play by the rules.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Beautiful Words by Vanessa McCausland, is a heartrendingly beautiful book with a 23 year old mystery at the heart of it.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins GilmanMy review 3★
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I was looking forward to reading this slow burn mystery but didn't enjoy it at all. Reviewers seem to either love it or hate it so don't let my opinion put you off reading it, especially if you enjoy complex, messed characters.

Here is my 3.88 rounded to 4 stars review of The Enemy at Home
by Kevin O'Brien: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Historical Fiction / Mystery
1943 Seattle, Washington
The plot is twisty and changing throughout with several potential killers. It gradually builds momentum and the period details felt authentic. However, I didn’t feel that I learned anything new from the novel and the killer was somewhat easy to discern. Despite this, the world-building was well-done, and story gave excellent insight into the main and secondary characters’ behaviors and actions towards others.
Murder on the Oxford Canal
is a decent police procedural. My four star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Here is my 3.12 rounded to 3 stars review of The Beautiful and the Wild
by Peggy Townsend:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
More of a survival story than a mystery or thriller ----
Difficult living conditions, fearful for her life and that of her son, and some unexpected resilience make for an interesting story, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations from the synopsis. However, it is gripping and compelling at times and I wanted to know how it would end.
I read Double Jeopardy by Sheldon SiegelIt is book 14 in a series of legal mysteries that can be read as stand alones. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I've read a couple of good (4-5star reads) cozies recently. Both of them a really nice combination of sweet, funny and a little scary. Just what I was looking to read for my Christmas reading binge.

I got more than I expected with Aussie author Alexander Thorpe's debut novel Death Leaves the Station. Western Australia, early 1900s, "Halfwell Station", a rural property, not a train stop. More Agatha Christie than 'outback noir', with humour to boot. Good read 😊

Shot With Crimson by Nicola Upson is #11 in her series featuring a fictionalised version of Golden age crime writer Josephine Tey. Set in Hollywood and England in 1939, it's an excellent blend of history and mystery.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished Thirty Days of Darkness by Jenny Lund Madsen
Here is my four star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
One Way Tickets
was a decent police procedural. My 3.5 star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I was very impressed with The Engine House
and am thrilled to have found a new police procedural series. My four star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
West Heart Kill
was both interesting and aggravating. My 3.5 star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
"The artist" is nameless, houseless (NOT homeless), and only 17 when she sees Lola in the Mirror. Award-winning Aussie author Trent Dalton's wonderful new novel shows the precarious life of people living on the edges.
My review of Lola in the Mirror with a couple of the unique illustrations
I finished A Fatal Obsession by Trevor Negus
A solid four stars - and a wonderful cover!

Here is my 4.6 rounded to 5 stars review of Perfect Shot
by Steve Urszenyi: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Thriller
Overall, this tense and exciting thriller keeps the reader on an emotional rollercoaster, quickly turning pages with the hope that the world will be safe. This was an excellent start to what I hope will be a long high-octane and dynamic series.
i have read Death in Brittany by Jean-Luc Bannalec It is book 1 in the series. My 4 star reviewhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This is the 99th book this year for me, a record for me!
The Secret
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stars
Best of the 4 Andrew Child colabs.
Great story.

Dark Angel aka Wildflower Girls is promoted as gripping and unputdownable, but I lost my grip, skimmed to the end, and put it down quickly. D.K. Hood has a lot of fans and some very high ratings, so I guess it's just me.
My review of Dark Angel
The Bag of Secrets
was a well done, uplifting police procedural. My four star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I read Blood Sisters by Vanessa Lillie and was totally consumed by it! If you only read one book for Native American Heritage Month, make it this one! I'm so excited to hear the author plans to write a series featuring this unique character. 5 Stars My Review
BLOOD SISTERS is a dynamic, engrossing, heart touching suspense thriller that's highly addictive as well as eye-opening, and it's clear it comes straight from the heart of the author.
Superman: Birthright
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stars
Some Legends and legendary stories never get old.
