#Bookreview – Witch Slapped by Dakota Cassidy #paranormal #cosymystery
And another review… This one appealed to me on more than one level, being a combination of two of my favourite genres for light and easy reading, and the fun style of the cover promised a slightly jokey read, as it proved to be. It is also #1 in a series of 15, so plenty […]
#BookReview – Cordial Killing by Vikki Walton #CosyMystery
And it’s back to my backlog of reviews from last year! This one is for the second in the Backyard Farming Mystery series. You can see my review of the first one, Chicken Culprit, here. Blurb When one of the first guests at the Brandywine Inn dies, Anne has to determine which of her guests […]
A Haunting at Holkham by Anne Glenconner #BookReview #HistoricalMystery
On Wednesday this week I go into hospital for my second hip replacement, 5 months after the first. I’m dreading the process and yet also impatient to have both over and done with. Depending on how things go, I may, or may not, be around on my blog for a bit. I’m hoping to feel […]
Chicken Culprit by Vikki Walton #BookReview #CosyMystery
Another of the books I read while lazing around, recovering from hip surgery. Sometimes a cosy mystery that doesn’t challenge the mind can be just the thing! Chicken Culprit by Vikki Walton My rating: 4 of 5 stars Having started a different cosy and given up within 2 pages, annoyed by the amateurish writing, I […]
#BookReview THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB by Richard Osman #HumorousDarkComedy
I’ve had so much to share since early December, what with my latest release – book #4 of my Five Kingdoms series, THE PRINCE’S HEIR – results from my BookBub featured deal for book #1, THE PRINCE’S MAN, and my building project, I haven’t posted a book review in a couple of months. This does […]
#Bookreview WISTERIA WITCHES by Angela Pepper #cozymystery #witches
A short book review this week for “Wisteria Witches: A feel-good paranormal women’s fiction mystery”, a light-hearted title with over 1400 5* ratings on Goodreads. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a 5* for me! Wisteria Witches by Angela Pepper My rating: 3 of 5 stars Former media personality, Zara, and her teenage daughter, move to the quaint […]
#BookReview – A Right Royal Revenge: a Scottish Cozy Mystery by R.B. Marshall
During the excitement of my BookBub Featured Deal, I needed something light and entertaining to read, and this second book in The Highland Horse Whisperer Mysteries series fitted the bill perfectly. In the author’s own words: “Like my amateur sleuth, Izzy, I’m a dressage-riding computer geek who loves coffee – but there the similarity ends. […]
#BookReview – A CORPSE AT THE CASTLE by R.B. Marshall
Lock down update: the veg garden is nearly there! Just one last bed to dig at the far end, against the fence. So far we’ve planted strawberries, carrots, beetroot, Brussels sprouts, Savoy cabbage, Jerusalem artichokes, rainbow chard, potatoes (2 varieties), peas, radishes, broccoli, cauliflower and courgettes. Next, onward with the polytunnel and indoor planting – […]
#BookReview – A Thrift Shop Murder by N.M. Howell and L.C. Hibbett #supernatural #cozymystery
It’s been way too long since I reviewed any books – that isn’t because I’ve not been reading, but simply due to lack of time to get around to reviewing what I read – bad, bad reader. ALWAYS remember to REVIEW what you read people, reviews are the lifeblood of authors – they give us […]
#BookReview – A MAYFAIR CHRISTMAS CAROL by Kassandra Lamb #CozyMystery #MurderMystery
