One Death at a Time
One Death at a Time
by Abbi Waxman
An engaging mystery (12/18/2024)
This was a fun read that went from a Los Angeles AA meeting to the Hollywood Hills and the characters that inhabit them. Mason starts off as a tough cookie who is determined to get actress Julia on the path to sobriety. But before she can start her mission, Mason finds …more

Jane and Dan at the End of the World

A quick, fun read (11/23/2024)
The title made me think this was going to be some kind of apocalyptic story, and in a sense it is. But it's not the end of THE world, just possibly the end of Jane's world. The author definitely created a character in Jane that I immediately knew and understood. It made …more

Beast of the North Woods: Monster Hunter Mysteries #3
by Annelise Ryan
Just didn't grab me (10/28/2024)

The Gypsy Moth Summer
by Julia Fierro
Loved it and hated it (4/28/2017)
I loved the characters and found myself rooting for them--sometimes in spite of their best efforts to make me not do so. I have to say that I felt as if I knew these people, and that's a good thing. All of that said, the writing was too complicated at times, sometimes to …more
The Half Wives
The Half Wives
by Stacia Pelletier
I wanted to love it (1/28/2017)
I especially enjoy historical fiction, so I was all set to love this book. For me there was just not enough detail about life in San Francisco during the era to create that sense of traveling in time that I so enjoy. Part of my issue may have been the multiple narrative …more
