pickI loved this book. Four siblings grow apart in adulthood after relying on each other due to mostly absent parents. This dysfunctional family tale is told with a light hand through each sibling‘s eyes and memories. My only quibble is I don‘t think the author stuck the landing with the last chapter, or it just didn‘t work for me 🤷🏻♀️ 4 🌟

pickWhen I think of Molly the Maid, I think of a mystery. Nita Prose did a twist with ' The Mistletoe Mystery'. A mystery with a romantic twist at Christmas Time.
There's not a lot I can say about 'The Mistletoe Mystery ' without giving things away. I will say that Molly is head maid at the Regency Hotel still. Prose still makes her lovable and is really developing her. You will have to get the book when it hits bookshelves ⬇️

pickI always wonder if an authors second book is going to live up to their first. In the case of The Mystery Guest, Prose's second book, does live up to her first The Maid.
In The Mystery Guest, we are reunited with Molly, the maid. She is now head maid and takes her job seriously. While training Lily, a new maid, a guest of the Regency is murdered. Molly is thrust into the middle of the investigation by her friend, Angela. Of course, there ⬇️
pickMultiple locked-room mystery scenarios set against the back drop of a plague-ridden dystopian future? Sign. Me. Up. This book was a win for me. The author cleverly wove together the storylines while creating compelling characters. I enjoyed how it all slowly unfolded and came together like a puzzle. #NetGalley #TheDrift #RandomHouse #Ballantine
pickThis author always totally blows my mind. Her books are so incredibly detailed. In this, she gives a history of the queens that lived during the crusades. Instead of telling the story of the kings, she focuses on the queens and takes an honest look at the material left behind from the period. 👸🙇👑
