I’m a big fan of Ann Cleeves. But my view of her work is unusual. I started with the Two Rivers series featuring Matthew Venn. Those were all ebooks except for an audio listen of a novella. I started Shetland on audio but only read one book. Then we watched both Vera and Shetland on […] The post <span class="entry-title-primary">🎧 The Killing Stones by Ann Cleeves</span> <span class="entry-subtitle">@anncleeves.bsky.social @kennyblyth.bsky.social @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #Lo...| Books of My Heart
The Librarians is different than some of the other work by Sherry Thomas, and yet some things are consistent. I haven’t read all her work, but what I have read and loved is historical and this is contemporary. We also get a murder mystery and detailed world and character building. For a small group, these […] The post <span class="entry-title-primary">🎧 The Librarians by Sherry Thomas</span> <span class="entry-subtitle">@sherrythomas.com #LouisaZhu @berkleypub.bsky.social @penguina...| Books of My Heart
It was so good to get back to the Inspector Lynley series which I started nearly 30 years ago. I’ve mostly read them but I’ve listened to the last few. I also watched the PBS show which took some different plots. I believe there’s a new version of the tv series coming also. The storytelling alternates […] The post <span class="entry-title-primary">🎧 A Slowly Dying Cause by Elizabeth George</span> <span class="entry-subtitle">@egwriter.bsky.social @simvan.bsky.social ...| Books of My Heart

The Angelhart Investigations series is fast paced and the investigations are gritty but smart. Margo has plenty of less than normal sources of information. Plus she stakes out some things or plays a role when interviewing witnesses and suspects. She rarely gets into trouble with the law because of all her connections, but the bad […] The post <span class="entry-title-primary">🎧 Don’t Say A Word by Allison Brennan</span> <span class="entry-subtitle">@Allison_Brennan @hillaryoutlou...| Books of My Heart

I wasn’t sure what to expect but I really enjoyed The Witch’s Orchard. The author is new to me and I was impressed with the small town tale with abducted girls tied into a folk tale. The paranormal aspect was very limited. I wouldn’t mind this being the start of a series. Ten years ago, […]| Books of My Heart
Salem’s Cipher series is a re-release. I didn’t know about the older release but I enjoy this author and there is a lot of puzzle solving and treasure-hunting which appeal to me. There is also a distinct focus for women, especially those who have had their scientific discoveries usurped by men. The story begins in […]| Books of My Heart

TE Kinsey’s latest Lady Hardcastle Mystery took on a chilling cryptid bent for “tiny […]| Books of My Heart
If you are down on your luck because fate, that fickle B, has worked you into a corner and it looks like there is nowhere for you to go and nothing you can do, well you might just be a great candidate for a new kind of magical school. This is not the Hogwarts letter […]| Books of My Heart
One of the most endearing TV shows to come out of the 80’s was The Golden Girls and with reruns, succeeding generations have come to know those feisty old gals from Miami. I was tickled to discover that a new to me author had taken up the challenge to pair these TV personalities with a […]| Books of My Heart
I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read by Lynn Painter. They always seem to have very fun banter and humor. So I always want to read her books. The setting for this seems to be Omaha Nebraska with a Warren Buffet type character. Maid for Each Other is a class difference book, not that they really […]| Books of My Heart
I’ve been collecting some of the Nora Roberts audio books which are not at the library. I knew this was the one I most wanted to hear. Since they are almost all standalone, they should be easier to fit into the reading schedule. The Search is about a woman who trains K9 dogs for search […]| Books of My Heart
Run was Blake Crouch’s first published novel. It has recently been republished with some minor updates. I can see how this novel helped start his career and set him apart as an author. It is fast paced and action packed with plenty of crazy moments. Everything that I’ve grown to expect from a Blake Crouch […]| Books of My Heart
A middle-aged couple are hosting a country house party, a dead body is found on her library rug. Does this set up sound familiar? Oh, yes it does and that middle-aged couple? None other than Agatha Christie and her archeologist husband, Max Mallowan. Of course I had to read Colleen Cambridge’s mystery series set in […]| Books of My Heart
The Fury of the Gods is the final book of the Bloodsworn Saga, a tale set in a world of Animal gods, The Tainted (humans with the power of certain gods in their blood), Witches and regular Viking like people. This is a action packed ride with a lot of fighting that will get us to […]| Books of My Heart
