Another breakneck-paced space opera/romance from Jessie Mihalik… I’m not an author, but it has always struck me that writing the middle book in a pre-planned trilogy must be pretty hard. An author gets to introduce the characters and the setting in the first book, and tee up the over-arching storyline. So everything is shiny and […]

So I was excited to receive a review copy of Ide’s new book, The Goodbye

A fun historical cozy, with a few serious moments… I’m a big fan of historical mysteries, so I was happy to have a chance to read a review copy of Murder at Westminster. And, even though reading the second book in a series first can sometimes be a bit problematic, I really enjoyed it. Murder
