I’m prepared to read just about anything Alexander McCall Smith writes. This whole series is charming–enchanting, even. The story this time centers a great deal around the office, with her secretary, or “Associate Detective” as she has become getting involved a great deal along with her fiance. I’m not one to tell much of the…
Buy Now I like Rita Mae Brown, and especially the mysteries that involve Sneaky Pie Brown. This was my first time reading from her series written around fox hunting. I guess I’m a cat person much more than a dog person, but I never really warmed up to the background in fox hunting. It just…
Just last night I was watching video of Midsomer and wondering what the murder rate must be and how anyone could live there. It’s good to see someone else sees the problem! Somebody ought to do something! Soon!
I’m back to J. A. Jance again with this fascinating novel of suspense and mystery. I like Jance’s characters and her ability to keep the suspense going whilst keeping you involved with those characters. The mystery is good, though I guessed most of it a bit too early for my test. I might well credit…
I just finished this book by Carole Nelson Douglas, and as usual I loved it. Definitely a 4, maybe better.
I could just rate this one a three, and let it go at that, but then I might be unfair to the author. You see, the book is well written, but unfortunately had the bad luck to hit too many of my pet peeves, not about writing, but about people. I just plain didn’t like…
OK, here I am with another book with [tag]cats[/tag] in it, and another one in a series I’ve already written some about, a [tag]Mrs. Murphy Mystery[/tag]. My most recent entry was on reading The Tail of the Tip-Off, which I rated a 4. [tag]Rita Mae Brown[/tag] and [tag]Sneaky Pie Brown[/tag] are just too good not…
From a book I liked, I turn to a book that I didn’t. This was my first book by Gilbert Morris, and I had high hopes because there is a silhouette of a cat on the cover, and it says it’s “a feline mystery by Gilbert Morris. Further I quickly discovered that it’s a Christian…
One shouldn’t really complain about how much mystery there is in this series, since it’s pure, light fun all the way, but it does seem that we’re getting more and more personality and less and less mystery even within that formula. It’s also too soon for me to be writing notes on another book in…
I previously wrote about Claws and Effect, and though I’ve read a couple of other books in this series I hadn’t posted anything about them. So I thought I’d write a few notes on another in this series. I want to warn you right off that this is a series in which the animals can…
