Blog Tour: The Stranger Inside by Lisa Unger

Blog Tour: The Stranger Inside by Lisa Unger

Okay, friends, I'm going to let you in on an embarrassing secret. This is my first Lisa Unger book. There is no good reason for this. It just happened to have worked out that way. I've always wanted to read one of her books. So when the opportunity came up for me to join the blog tour for The Stranger Inside, I jumped on it! Welcome to my stop. There was a lot to love about this book. I'm ...

Blog Tour: A Girl Named Anna by Lizzy Barber

Blog Tour: A Girl Named Anna by Lizzy Barber

Welcome to my stop on the bog tour for A Girl Named Anna. I knew upon reading the synopsis that this was going to be one I'd have to read. I have a bit of a thing for mysteries revolving around strange and powerful religious cults. Books involving child abductions almost always prove to be emotional and gripping reads. I went into it with fingers crossed that one with both would be a win-win. I ...

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Layover by David Bell

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Layover by David Bell

Greetings, fellow readers! It's great to be back from my hiatus with a blog tour stop and giveaway for Layover by David Bell. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit this but, for whatever reason, I hadn't read any of his previous books. On the brighter side, that only made me more excited to read this one so I could see for myself what all the fuss is about. And see, I do! We start off with our ...

Review: The Bird Tribunal by Agnes Ravatn

Review: The Bird Tribunal by Agnes Ravatn

I'm off to Book Expo later this morning but wanted to sneak in one more post before I go. This one is long overdue owing, for the most part, to my lack of technical skills. There is really no excuse but, you see, this is the first time I have successfully installed a Mobi file onto my Kindle. I will not say how long it took.My previous attempts all ended in frustration and wine. This time, ...

Blog Tour and Giveaway: The French Girl by Lexie Elliott

Blog Tour and Giveaway: The French Girl by Lexie Elliott

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The French Girl by Lexie Elliott! I love an unreliable narrator and one that come with a whole host of suspect friends is even better! Add an old missing persons case and a newly found body and we have the makings of an engaging read, indeed! This book is somewhat unique in that there are several suspects and they all know one another. They're Oxford ...

Review: The Naturalist by Andrew Mayne

February 12, 2018 by Ann Marie 8 Comments

Review: The Naturalist by Andrew Mayne

There are so many things I loved about The Naturalist! First, there's our main man, Professor Theo Cray. He's a computational biologist. So basically he's a little nerdy, very smart, and, because he's now been drawn in to a murder investigation, a bit of a rogue Magnum, P.I. I'm not one for bookish crushes but if I were, he'd be a candidate. Next, there's the plot. What starts out as one dead ...

Review: The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen

Review: The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen

As my Aunt Betty would have said, "HOLY MARY, MOTHER O' GOD!" Just when I thought I understood what was going on, along came Part 2 and I'm begging for confirmation that my head is spinning in the right direction. The Wife Between Us was exactly what I needed to get me out of my two-book DNF reading slump. It started out a bit slowly which concerned me for the first few chapters but I now ...

Review of “Inherit the Bones” by Emily Littlejohn

December 3, 2016 by Ann Marie 3 Comments

Review of “Inherit the Bones” by Emily Littlejohn

"...I've always thought there are currents running through our world and our lives, threads if you will, that touch and connect all things. Events, years after they've happened, leave faint fingerprints that linger and change the surface of places over time." A murdered clown. An unknown murder weapon. A surprise ID. A pregnant lead investigator. Her partner with questionable professional ethics. ...
