Book Review: Our Little Secret by Roz Nay

Book Review: Our Little Secret by Roz Nay

I’ve got to say, Simon and Schuster Canada have been providing me with some amazing thrillers lately.  I don’t know what it is about their acquisitions, but I’ve really enjoyed the books they’ve been sending me. Our Little Secret comes from first time Canadian author Roz Nay, and I really hope she continues writing because…

the book The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware, sitting upright against a grey and white longhaired cat

Book Review: The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware

I always get so excited to see the latest Ruth Ware hit the bookstores, and I think this is her best one yet. The Death of Mrs. Westaway has a wonderful gothic feel to it, the atmosphere plays on all the common ‘haunted house’ elements, but it didn’t feel overdone at all. In my review…

Book Review: The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz

Book Review: The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz

I first heard of The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz through my dear friend FictionFan’s blog, she reviewed this book a few months ago and had some complicated feelings about it. When the publisher sent it to me for review, I decided to give it a go, even though FF recommended another one of…

Book Review: Close-up on Murder: A Murder, She Wrote Mystery

Book Review: Close-up on Murder: A Murder, She Wrote Mystery

I’ve had this book on my shelf for awhile now, it was a gift from someone who knew I loved the show. I was saving it for a ‘special occasion’, meaning, when I knew I would need my spirits lifted, and reading something comforting like this would instantly make me feel better. So, I packed…

Book Review: Blame by Jeff Abbott

Book Review: Blame by Jeff Abbott

Ah yes, the good ol’ unreliable female narrator. You can’t wade into a thriller section of a bookstore these days without finding at least 50% of the books include this oft-used device. This time, our protagonist Jane Norton isn’t reliable because she might be crazy (although that’s hinted at more than once), but she’s an…

Book Review: Find You in the Dark by Nathan Ripley

Book Review: Find You in the Dark by Nathan Ripley

It feels like I’ve been reading a lot of ‘dark’ books lately, non-fiction mostly, so I searched for a ‘guilty pleasure’ read to lift the guilt I had been weighed under by reading such devastating memoirs. Strange to some, I chose a thriller, a pretty violent one at that to entertain me after my spate…

Book Review: The Grave’s a Fine and Private Place by Alan Bradley

Book Review: The Grave’s a Fine and Private Place by Alan Bradley

Long-time readers of this blog will already know how much I love the Flavia de Luce novels by Alan Bradley. Perfect examples of the cozy mystery, these books depict the precocious 12 year old Flavia who solves mysteries that seem to fall in her lap. Much like my other murder mystery hero Jessica Fletcher, death…

Book Review: Let Darkness Bury the Dead by Maureen Jennings

Book Review: Let Darkness Bury the Dead by Maureen Jennings

So I’ve never really watched the television show Murdoch Mysteries, but of course being Canadian and a long-time devotee of the CBC I had certainly heard about it, so it’s definitely on my Netflix list of ‘to be watched’. Because of this, when I was given the chance to review a forthcoming Murdoch Mystery book…

Video Review: Bellevue Square by Michael Redhill

Video Review: Bellevue Square by Michael Redhill

My Canadian readers won’t be at all surprised to see I’m reviewing Bellevue Square by Michael Redhill because it won the richest literary prize in Canada back in November: the Giller Prize. I’ll be honest though, I had no intention of reading it until my book club chose it. I’m glad I did because first of…

Book Review: The Child by Fiona Barton

Book Review: The Child by Fiona Barton

I was hesitant to pick up this book knowing it begins with the grisly discovery of a newborn’s bones, simply because I’m a) pregnant right now, therefore very emotional and b) already a mother of one child, which means I’m much more sensitive to stories that include any harm coming to kids of any age….

Video Review: The Lying Game by Ruth Ware

Video Review: The Lying Game by Ruth Ware

I’m going to make an effort to do more video book reviews as people seem to like them, plus, they’re fun to do! My apologies there are no kitties in this video, and as always, please send any feedback my way re: lighting, backgrounds, etc. I need all the help I can get!

Book Review: By Gaslight by Steven Price

Book Review: By Gaslight by Steven Price

I felt like a bit of a rebel picking up this book back in December because I got it from the library, and no one had asked me to read or review it for them, I was simply reading it for (gasp!) pleasure. By Gaslight by Steven Price is one of those books that I…
