Book Review: The Velvet Knife by Maureen Johnson
As usual when reading the Truly Devious series, after reading book five, I needed to know how the cliffhanger ends up being resolved. I was fortunate to have read it earlier this year, so it was still fairly fresh in my mind…

Book Review: We Are Never Ever Solving This Murder by Sarah Fox
I’d had the chance to read the first book in this series when it came out, but I passed on it because it seemed to tread too much into romance (I like my mysteries/thrillers to be very focused on the mystery). I didn’t realize this was part of the same series, although I should have…

Book Review: Finding Judge Crater by Stephen J. Riegel
I somehow had never heard of Judge Crater until recently, at least not consciously. After watching the History’s Greatest Mysteries episode on his disappearance, I immediately started looking up books. Surprisingly, I didn’t find many (at least on Audible)…

Book Review: Lost by Rachel Hartigan
Even as a little kid, I was obsessed with Amelia Earhart’s story (shoutout to Jay Jay the Jet Plane). I circle around to her every so often, and I was excited to see this book title pop up in an email not long after falling down a YouTube rabbit hole of Amelia Earhart content…

Book Review: The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
This is a book that has been on my TBR for over a decade. Now that it’s in the public domain, it seemed like a fun time to finally pick it up (even though I do own a copy)…
