The Murder of Roger Ackroyd | Agatha Christie
post image
Pickpick

I listened to this book. I loved it! I had no clue that the person who killed Roger Ackroyd. I was so surprised. This book was intriguing and had humor in it. If you have never read an Agatha Christie book, you need to read this one. It's a classic for a reason!

🙂 Happy Reading 🙂

Too Late | Colleen Hoover

This book is too vulgar for me

KadaGul @Monica5 Colleen Hoover always have domestic violence mixed with romance which is along the lines of WHEN HARRY MET SALLY MEETS 50 SHADES. I read one ☝️ of her books 📚 and decided not to pick up her book 📚. I know during COVID she cranked out a lot of books 📚 5d
Monica5 @KadaGul the first book I ever read by her was Verity. I liked it, but this was just too vulgar to me. I won't be reading anymore if her books. 4d

The Wonder of It All is the final book in the House of Falconer Trilogy. I have read all the books in the trilogy and enjoyed them all. It is a historical fiction story. The trilogy expands from the end of the Victorian Age to the beginning of the 20th Century.

James Falconer is a tycoon in England. It opens with James in WWI. He faces many things in this book and has to make decisions concerning his business. James fights to return ⬇️

Monica5 to the man he once was but he has to find a way to heal his body, soul and family.

Bradford expanded all the characters in the book. She had wonderful character development. Bradford writes in a way that transports into the time of the book. She is a wonderful writer that I think anyone would enjoy reading.

Tentative Publishing Date December 5, 2023.

Noah is the all American boy. Perfect in everyway, at least that's what his parents think. They have the perfect family, and then Noah confesses. What he confesses to will tear their family apart.

A don't think this book was proofread very good. There were a lot of sentences that were missing a word. Very irritating to me. There are a lot of heavy topics in this book. Some disgusted me. I thought about DNFing it a couple of times, but ⬇️

Monica5 glad I read it. The next to last chapter was the one that made my rating go from 1⭐ to 1 1/2⭐. 7d

This True Crime book has been on my TBR list, forever. The book showed me what I already figured out: Mason was crazy as shit! He had already been in jail a ton of times before he became an adult.

This book is a chunkster. It was interesting but very hard to read. I had to take a lot of breaks while reading it. It just showed how evil some people are.

The Porcelain Maker | Sarah Freethy
post image
Pickpick

WWII story that looks at the life of two artist who met when they were young. They fall in love but Hitler takes control of Germany and soon Max is in fear of his life. Not only is he an artist, but also a Jew. Bettina is an abstract artist that is at odds with her family. If artists weren't a certain type in Germany at this time, they also feared for their life. Max tries to get Bettina to leave, but soon it's to late. ⬇️

#bookspinbingo

Monica5 What must they do to survive such a world?

Freethy writes a very moving story. It's Historical Fiction at its finest. A love story that is heartbreaking. Freethy made me feel like I was experiencing everything that went on right during that time in History. There was great character development. I was disgusted at what happened during the Holocaust and pray it never happens again.

If you like historical fiction, love stories, or WWII books, don't miss this one.

I listened to this 2nd book in the Ruth Galloway series. Ruth is a forensic archaeologist. She helped with a missing person case.and barely escaped with her life a few months ago. Now, she is called to a site in Norfolk when a child's skull is found she is called in again.

Griffiths kept me interested in the story throughout. She had good character development with Ruth.

Agatha Raisin goes to Turkey on a vacation to find James and make up with him. While there she gets involved in a murder of a British citizen. I got so frustrated with Agatha during this audiobook. I just wanted her to forget him. He treated her so badly. Hopefully, it's the end of them as an item. I hope her and Charles get together. I liked him.

The Midnight Lock | Jeffery Deaver
post image
Pickpick

I listened to this Lincoln Rhyme book. There were actually 3 story lines going that converged into 2 about 3/4 of the way thru. Lincoln Rhyme botches a case according to the defense of a crime boss, who ends up getting off for a murder. He is then told he could no longer consult for the NYPD. There's also someone breaking into apartments and leaving signs that he/she was there while the owner was asleep in bed. Amelia is on the case and ⬇️

Monica5 evidence for Lincoln though he is fired from NYPD. Then there is someone after the owner of a newspaper. How do all of these story lines come together. Well, it's Jeffery Deaver, one of the best mystery suspense writers of our time. If you have never read the Lincoln Rhyme series, I don't know how you have missed it. Go to your local library and grab Jeffery Deaver's books. You can thank me later.

The Mystery Guest | Nita Prose
post image
Pickpick

I 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 ⬇️

Monica5 are times when Molly is misunderstood and she misunderstands.

Prose did a wonderful job in character development. Molly grew a lot, but the biggest growth came from Detective Stark. I love Molly. She is clearly the underdog most of the time, but she never gives up. Prose also expanded on the series, and left room for another book or two, by a couple of bombshells. There is a dual timeline in The Mystery Guest, but it works great and gives some info on one bombshell. I look forward to reading more about Molly and seeing where Prose takes all the characters.

If you haven't read the first book, The Maid, I would recommend you do before reading, The Mystery Guest. That way you want be lost, because this book builds on the first.

Sycamore Row: A Novel, | John Grisham
post image
Pickpick

I actually finished this Tuesday night late 😊

Grisham takes us back to where it all began, with Sycamore Row. A Time To Kill introduced us to Ford County Mississippi, Jake Brigance, Carla Brigance, Lucien Willbanks, Harry Rex and Sheriff Ozzie. Three years later, Jake is still waiting on the insurance to pay for the loss of his house, when he is dragged into another major case. ⬇️

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Monica5
Seth Hubbard goes to church one Sunday morning, talks to everyone, makes a call to one employee to meet him at 2 by the creek, and hangs himself. Monday morning, Jake Brigance receives a letter in the mail from Seth Hubbard. Enclosed is a holographic will. Jake has just been hired for a case that will reveal a lot of secrets. One that is 60 years old.

I love John Grisham as a writer. He is my favorite legal thriller writer. He always has great character development. Sycamore Row hooked me when I read the summary at the library. It never let me go from page one. I would suggest you read Time To Kill before this one, if you haven't, because Sycamore Row brings a lot of information from the other book into it. That why you will have a concept of all the characters.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

Blood Betrayal | Ausma Zehanat Khan
post image
Pickpick

Khan writes books that hit on hot topics in America. Her books are engrossing and makes me think about race issues. Two boys, a Latino and a African American, are shot one night at two different locations by the police. Inaya and the Community Response Unit are called in to investigate the African American case. She is soon asked by a past Chicago policeman to investigate the Latino killing. She works her boss where she can. ⬇️

Monica5
This is the second book in the Detective Inaya Rahman series. There was great character development from Blackwater Falls to this new book. The series take a look at faith, prejudice and fear. I think it's fear of the unknown that we actually fear and not the color of someones skin or their religion. Her books make you really think about the other cultures in our country and the world.

30 years after going missing, one night on a camping trip, Aurora is found. In 1983, a intense investigation happened, but her body was never found. Now 30 years later, the past is being drug back up. Jonah Sheen was just a small town new cop then. It's the one case that has haunted him because it was never solved.

First in a new series by Gytha Lodge. It is full of red herrings and twists. A police procedural that has a⬇️

I read the 5th one first, since my library had it but not the others. My librarian ended up borrowing this one for me, and is working to find the others. A great library in your community is the best thing to have.

I usually watch 'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' every year on TV, but this year it's only showing on AppleTV. I love the Peanuts Gang and decided since I wouldn't be able to watch it this year, I would read it.

This book focuses on Linus. He decided to spend Halloween in the pumpkin patch. Why? Because he is waiting on the Great Pumpkin, who is supposed to bring gifts to kids in pumpkin patches.

19th book in the Emma Griffin FBI Series, 'The Girl and the 7 Deadly Sins' is a great read to me. Someone from Emma's early days in the FBI returns to pay a visit. Only the visit deals with the 7 Deadly Sins. Pride. Greed. Lust. Envy. Gluttony. Wrath. Sloth.

Xavier is off to prison to see if he can figure out how Jonah escaped. Emma is pulled in multiple ways, as she is trying to work on multiple cases at a time. ⬇️

Monica5 There's a conspiracy on her life.

I think the reason this one was so good is because there was no hint of who the culprit was until the last 30 pages. Which is strange, bc you usually have some idea of who the culprit is. I could have missed hints of it, I don't think so though. 🤷

🙂 Happy Reading 🙂

A Charlie Brown Christmas, I have every year of my 51 years on earth. It doesn't seem like Christmas, until I watch it. 'Charlie Brown's Christmas Miracle' takes a behind the scenes look at, in my opinion, one of the all time best TV specials. In 1965, Schulz was approached with doing a Peanuts Christmas Special. There were only 6 mins to get it done in and amazingly it got down. It almost didn't get made because two CBS executives ⬇️

Monica5 didn't like it (I won't tell you why). A Charlie Brown Christmas won the hearts of millions of Americans. I am sad to know that Apple TV bought all the rights to the Peanuts movies and they will be shown only on their platform, to think that millions of kids well miss watching a fabulous special. Luckily for me, I have the DVD of it.😊 If you love A Charlie Brown Christmas, you need to read this book to find out why it almost didn't happen.

Thank you to Worthy Publishing and Michael Keane for the PDF for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Girl and the Silent Night is the 17th book in the Emma Griffin FBI Series. I have to saw it's not my favorite one. There is a lot going on this time. As always there is a look at a past case Emma has been involved in, but also there is a look into the future with one of the characters in the book. That took away from the book, to me, because there wasn't a surprise. I knew something was going to happen to the person already. ⬇️

Monica5 I just didn't care for that aspect of the book.

Sam is still looking for his cousin, Marie. Dean is still trying to remember what happened to him, when he was dumped on the side of the road. Both cases have some movement in them.

Though this wasn't my favorite of the series, I still enjoy them. Of course, by the title you know that this book is set during the Christmas holidays.

57 books in this series and it's still good and going strong, in my opinion. Eve and Roarke just gets back from their 3 year anniversary trip, when Eve gets notified about a death. An IAB retired cop is found died at his house, that appears to be a suicide. Soon, Eve is enthralled in the investigation.

Eve and Peabody investigate with the help of the bullpen, EDD, and Roarke. The Magic Lining saves a cop. Mav's and Peabody's house is coming ⬇️

Monica5 along and we get a look at Peabody's and McNabb's side of the house.

I love this series. I have read every book and they keep getting better. They always keep my attention and grab me from the start. I feel like I have visited friends and caught up with them. To me that makes a great book. I always get a few laughs from what Eve says. She always gets sayings confused. I do think you need to read these books in order, or you may be lost.
