pickThis is the lower end of the pick scale for me. I really wanted for all the Queens to be clearly depicted, but only Christie and Sayers have pretty distinct personalities. Marsh and Allingham were only distinguishable from each other by Marsh‘s New Zealand accent and their respective clothing styles. The book was also a bit slow paced in the first half but picked up later. #audiowalk
pickThe return of Jennifer Crusie brings a fun cozy romantic mystery.
Strengths of this book - trademark sassy banter and a great main character in Liz Danger. This also builds a fun small town location with several fun side characters.
Weakness - the cop hero feels out of a 90‘s romance and I did not 100% feel chemistry between the characters. I could see this character improving and I liked everyone else enough to check out more in the series. 4⭐️
pickDefinitely my favourite of the Brodie series so far. A train derailment, a critically injured Brodie, a missing woman with a past, and a teenager trying to find someone who will listen. I adored Reggie and Sadie :)
Slowly making my way towards @CarolynM's selection for #AuldLangSpine - two more to go until I'm ready for the Rook!
pickWhile humorous and somewhat entertaining, I think I‘d give it 3.5 🌟. When Fiona, Evie‘s best friend is the top suspect for a murder on Mackinac island, Evie does her best to prove Fiona‘s innocence. Misleading the tourists to think it‘s all part of a mystery game adds to the schtick.
pickMaybe not one of my favorites, but not entirely disappointing either. Just needed a little Poirot in my life!
In our 19th outing with Nancy, we go on a quest for a missing map. Will the map lead to treasure? How are Nancy‘s cartography skills? Discussion on May 15th!

pickThis is such an amazing book! I've recommended it so many times at my library, and everyone has enjoyed it.
It's dark, it's emotional, it's mysterious, and it's a novel that only Charlotte McConaghy could write.
I have loved all her other books, and this one did not disappoint.
pickMy first Lucy Clarke novel, it examines the relationship between two sisters and uses a journal to explore their lives, feelings about each other and events in their lives and how they affect their sisterly bond. The characters were well constructed and the story line draws you in almost immediately and keeps flowing, which made it difficult to put down. I would like to read more from Lucy Clarke.
(It‘s not a tiny book, but rather a giant lemon!)
