I have loved the Flavia de Luce novels in the past but found Speaking From Among the Bones to be lackluster. I didn’t feel like there was much of a mystery element as there has been previously. Alan Bradley seemed to go off on tangents and thought the death of Mr. Collicutt took a backseat […]
I first heard about Eve in Hollywood through an ad on Goodreads. I saw the words “All About Eve” splash across the screen and immediately clicked on it as the 1950s film of the same name is my favorite movie. I soon found there was no relation to the film but as I scrolled down […]
I picked this up at my most resent visit to the library and was excited that it wasn’t checked out for once. As this was considered a “new release” at the library I could only check it out for a week. A first was worried that I wouldn’t be able to finish it in time. […]
You Are One of Them is steady, keeping an even pace, but it wasn’t necessarily the thriller I thought it was going to be — for some reason I was picturing espionage. This is not to say that I was disappointed, not by a long shot. You Are One of Them was suspenseful, I assumed […]
An obituary exhibits surviving family members, degrees, slight accomplishments, but never a full story of the decease’s life. Both Vivien Lowe and Ann Hood showcase this in The Obituary Writer. I almost dropped The Obituary Writer twenty pages in. When we are first introduced to Claire the reader is indulged to her thoughts on sex […]
I did something I hardly ever do, I read The Other Typist in one day. A few weeks ago a fellow blogger, Elizabeth at Silver Reviews warned me that The Other Typist was a book I would have to talk about, and she was right! It was incredible. The ending was a complete twist that I […]
From the beginning we know that Jodi will kill her husband Todd. Like S.J. Watson’s Before I Go To Sleep in which we are reminded to “not trust Ben” this statement looms in the back of your head. After this thought, the first two words that come to mind are Gone Girl. We have a […]
First and foremost, I would like to note that I checked out Waiting to Be Heard from the library. I did not buy or receive a free copy, but I did read the book. Why the disclaimer? Because anything negative said about Waiting to Be Heard (particularly on Amazon) gets bombarded with accusations and automatically […]
I saw the movie first with a group of friends and enjoyed it so much I checked it out at the library later that week. I was presently surprised how little they left out in the film. Atonement was a throughly enjoying book, it was a little slow at times but overall very good. The […]
“Put the lotion in the basket.” Why did I quote Silence of the Lambs? Because when found, each of Neptune’s deformed women’s right stub had been properly cleaned and clotted. Like Buffalo Bill he took “care” of his victims. The One I Left Behind is told in two parts, flashing from 1985 during the summer […]
