Cozy Mystery Mini-Reviews: Murder Uncorked, Bloodshed on the Boards, & Murder at the Blarney Bash #BookReview #Audiobook #2024AudiobookChallenge

Today is Thriller Thursday, but I didn’t read any thrillers this week. Instead, I have reviewed, three cozy mystery stories that I read or listened to over the last week or so.

Deadly Gamble: A World War II Mystery by Kate Parker #BookReview #BlogTour #Giveaway @dollycas

Welcome to my stop on the Blog Tour for Deadly Gamble by Kate Parker. This is the 11th book in this series, but I read it as a standalone and had no problem following the story. I really enjoyed this story and the character of Olivia (Livvy) Redmond. I hope to be able to go back to the beginning and read all the stories in this series, time permitting.

Mystery Mini-Reviews: The Mystery Guest, Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice, Fatal Inheritance, & Fortune and Glory #BookReview #Audiobook #2024AudiobookChallenge #BeatTheBacklist2024 #LibraryLoveChallenge2024 #FinishingTheSeries2024

I’ve been enjoying various mysteries over the last couple of weeks, including two humorous mysteries (Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice and Fortune & Glory), a Cozy Mystery (The Mystery Guest) and an Historical Family Drama/Mystery (Fatal Inheritance). I listened to these books, enjoying them all to various degrees.

Yummy Cozy Mystery Reviews: Muffin But the Truth & Catch Me if You Candy by Ellie Alexander #BookReview #Audiobook #BeatTheBacklist2024 #2024AudiobookChallenge #FinishingTheSeries2024

After reading and listening to some books with heavy topics and themes, I always look forward to a nice, easy, entertaining story. Cozy Mysteries are my go to for this, and A Bakeshop Mystery series, is one that I have read from the beginning. Over the last couple of weeks, I listened to two of the more recent books in the series with mixed feelings. So, what did I think?

A Death in Venice by Verity Bright #BookReview #Blog Tour #Bookouture @BrightVerity

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for A Death in Venice by Verity Bright. This is the 17th book in the Lady Eleanor Swift Mystery Series, but they can be read as standalone stories. I have only read four of them and have enjoyed them all. I am trying to go back and read this series from the beginning, as I want to read all of Lady Eleanor Swift’s adventures.

Thriller Thursday 😮: After That Night, Heartbeat & Still Waters #BookReview #Audiobook #2024AudiobookChallenge #BeatTheBacklist2024

This weeks Thriller Thursday selections are a mixed bag. We have one crime thriller (After That Night by Karin Slaughter) a romantic suspense story (Heartbeat by Sharon Sala) and a K-9 suspense/thriller (Still Waters by Sara Driscoll). I enjoyed them all and recommend them. I did read/listens for each of these books, more listen than read. Scroll down for my thoughts.

#readingirelandmonth24 Post 3: No Safe Place by Patricia Gibney, The Puppet Maker by Jenny O’Brien and Evelyn – 2002 Movie #BookReview #Audiobooks #MovieReview #2024AudiobookChallenge

Well, it is twenty days into March and I have enjoyed my immersion into Irish Culture. I have read/listened to 8 books and am starting my 9th. Below I have reviewed two of them, both police procedurals/crime thrillers, although they are from two different series. I have also watched three movies set in Ireland and I have included by thoughts for the most recent one, Evelyn, based on a true story. If you haven’t watched this one, I highly recommend it.

A Country Wedding Murder by Katie Gayle #BookReview #BlogTour @Bookouture @KatieGayleBooks

Welcome to my stop on the Blog Tour for Katie Gayle’s newest book, Country Wedding Murder. This is the 5th book in the cozy mystery series: Julia Bird Mysteries. This was another delightful story, interesting mystery, and visit to the Cotswolds. Scroll down for my thoughts.

Thriller Thursday 😮: Betrayal & The Housemaid’s Secret #BookReview #Audiobook #2024AudiobookChallenge

Welcome to Thriller Thursday! As an eclectic reader, I enjoy a good thriller, mixed in with all the other genres I read. There are so many sub-genres of thriller that it is easy to keep reading them, yet keep them fresh. Betrayal is a legal thriller from the Robin Lockwood series and The Housemaid’s Secret is a popcorn thriller, one where you just sit back and enjoy the ride. I enjoyed both of these books. Scroll down for my thoughts.
