After reading and enjoying The Twyford Code by Janice Hallett, I was interested in reading more from her. So when I had a long trip, I decided to borrow the book as a palate cleanser between all the nonfiction I was reading. And wow. I started this book only intended to read a chapter or… Read More Book Review: The Appeal by Janice Hallett
I borrowed this because it was recommended in the Booklist magazine as being a mystery centered around a podcast, and also because I remember enjoying Nicci French’s Freida Klein series (which I need to continue and finish). Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter? is, like the title says, about the disappearance of Charlotte Salter, who never… Read More Book Review: Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter? by Nicci French
I was at the library when I came across The Big Four and thought “hold on, an Hercule Poirot mystery that I’ve never read?”. I’m used to not having read Miss Marple, given that I focused on the Poirot mysteries when I was younger, so it was a shock to see a Poirot book that… Read More Book Review: The Big Four by Agatha Christie
I heard about this Korean mystery/thriller from a book podcast that I listen to and since it combined a murder mystery with books, I really, really wanted to read it. The only catch is that the book has not been translated into English – as far as I can find, it’s been translated into Japanese,… Read More Reading in Japanese: The Memory Bookstore by Chung Myung Seob
It’s been a bit too long since I last read an Inspector Gamache series – I think I read the previous book in the series in 2021 and one of the earlier books in 2022. But this is a series that I’ve followed for so long that I immediately borrowed All The Devils Are Here… Read More Book Review: All The Devils Are Here by Louise Penny
Is this sixth story the end of the Six Stories series??? I would hope not but I have to say that this is a fitting end to a series that I enjoyed SO MUCH. Six Stories has never shied away from difficult “cases” – a girl who murdered her family, a pop star accused of… Read More Book Review: Demon by Matt Wesolowski
I really, really can’t stay away from the Six Stories series. Deity is the fifth book in the series and I’ll probably finish the last book before the month is out! What can I say – this essentially has six long “chapters” and although I would ordinarily find the chapters long, each chapter/episode is so… Read More Book Review: Deity by Matt Wesolowski
Yes, I have read Book 4 in the Six Stories series! I may just go ahead and binge book 5 and 6, since it would be a pity for me to dive back into my TBR and forget about this series. In this new instalment of the Six Stories “podcast”, Scott King has travelled to… Read More Book Review: Beast by Matt Wesolowski
Although I had quite a few books to read, I couldn’t stay away from the Six Stories series. So I borrowed the third book, Changeling, and was BLOWN AWAY. I am going to be talking about the series so far in general, so I would recommend you click away from this page right now if… Read More [Major Spoilers] Changeling by Matt Wesolowski
So I read Hydra and WOW, I think this is even better than Six Stories, which I already loved. It’s taking me a lot not to just binge the whole series because there’s something in them that is just perfect for my current reading mood. Hydra follows the “case” of Arla Macleod, who murdered her… Read More Book Review: Hydra by Matt Wesolowski
