BOOK REVIEWS
Read and Buried (by Eva Gates)
You know how books are so amazing because they can transport you to another place? That’s what I love about the Lighthouse Library series by Eva Gates. The cozy mystery series is set in the Outer Banks, North Carolina, where I love to vacation. Not only that…
Do Not Disturb (by Freida McFadden)
A few months ago, I overheard a coworker say to someone that she was exhausted because she stayed up late the previous night reading a book she couldn’t put down. Naturally, I casually inserted myself into the conversation by asking what book she had been reading. She replied that it was by Freida McFadden.
Second Skin (by Christian White)
I love having an Audible subscription. Second Skin by Christian White is another short story I acquired during one of Audible’s many free offerings. Audiobook narrator Ellen Archer executed a good performance as she told the story of Stan’s tragic loss.
Stranger in the Lake (by Kimberly Belle)
It’s been a while since I’ve read a novel by Kimberly Belle and I felt in the mood for a suspenseful thriller, so it seemed perfect timing to read Stranger in the Lake. Charlotte lives in a small lake community in North Carolina where…
The Masked Rider (by Neil Peart)
Recently, my husband and I have been listening to some of our favorite Rush songs. He then began watching YouTube videos of Neil Peart’s amazing drum performances. As you might guess, the rabbit hole of the internet led to the discovery of interviews with Neil about the books he has written. As a complete book nerd…
The Searcher (by Tana French)
Sometimes I put off reading an author I adore, or a book I look forward to being released, for too long. I suppose I get overwhelmed by all the books to choose from. The Searcher by Tana French is a perfect example. I’ve read all her books…
Buy a Bullet (by Gregg Hurwitz)
I read the first book in the Orphan X series by Gregg Hurwitz and I was immediately hooked — ready to consume the entire series. I devoured book 1.5, Buy a Bullet…
Death Row Welcomes You (by Steven Hale)
I learned about this book, Death Row Welcomes You, by Steven Hale, through my local independent bookseller, Joseph-Beth, in Lexington, Kentucky. I receive Joseph-Beth’s weekly email, which includes a calendar of upcoming author events. When I saw the title of this book…
Lady Killer (by Lisa Scottoline)
I became a fan of Lisa Scottoline when I met her in 2018 on her book tour for After Anna. I was immediately drawn to her warm, excitable personality. She tells great stories, in person and her writing. I love all her books I’ve read. Sadly, Lady Killer is my least favorite. ☹️
