Reviews Done Quick The Golden Spoon is The Great British Bake Off meets Agatha Christie. Jessa Maxwell created a fun, read-into-the-night mystery that kept me guessing and deeply invested in the story, not just for the whodunit aspect but also for the characters’ backstories, particularly Betsy. I also loved the full last narration, it added […]
Review I have mixed feelings about The Silent Child. It held my attention and listened to it in two days. I was engaged by Joanne Froggatt’s narration and hope to listen to more by her. However, despite all the build-up surrounding Aiden’s disappearance it just kind of fell apart at the end. However, I still […]

It was more of a feel good Christmas wedding story with the mystery being an after thought. The lost and found dog, the center […]

For years, fellow readers had recommended Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot but with the exception of the film Death on the Nile these suggestions went unheard. Finally, with the help of Dan Stevens, I listened to And Then There Were None. I was hooked. Agatha […]
First Impressions Clawback by J.A. Jance felt like it had been ripped from a 48 hours episode. With a financial scandal that ends in murder the reader can only expect twists and turns. Impressions While Reading Like in 48 Hours, the viewer always has an inkling of the outcome as the suspect is only interviewed […]
First Impressions I was a Harry Potter connoisseur growing up. Hence, it only seemed natural for me to venture into Robert Galbraith’s Cormoran Strike series beginning with The Cuckoo’s Calling. Impressions on Detective Work There weren’t as many twists and turns as I had been hoping for and had suspicions of my own as to […]
