pickAnnie's life was ordinary—she worked as a real estate agent, had a loving boyfriend, and a tense relationship with her mother. But everything shifted when she was kidnapped by a psychopath. Though she managed to escape, her mind remains haunted by the cabin, a place more suffocating than a prison. The story is told in second-person perspective, with each chapter unfolding as her therapy sessions,where you, the reader, become her psychiatrist.

pickThe Body in the Back Garden is a well-written “queer cozy mystery” with engaging characters and a compelling mystery, set in a charming small town on an island that in real life is now one of the areas plagued with wildfires
so-soA good summer read, but nothing to write home about. The pacing kept the story moving, and I was intrigued by the plot. However, the writing left something to be desired. Something about the narrator‘s tone rubbed me the wrong way, and there are a lot of clichés and predictable moments. None of the characters seemed “real,”‘and the twist was so wildly unbelievable, it took away from the story. Very readable, but not sure it was worth reading. 2⭐️
pickNot for everyone, but I loved reading multiple local perspectives on such a relevant and important topic. #VancouverIsland #TruthandReconciliation #Indigenous
