I was maybe about twenty pages into Archer Mayor’s novel, The Price of Malice, when I thought that this had to be a part of a series. Come to find out after the fact, it is one of 32 novels involving the detective character, Joe Gunther. Go figure.

Weekend Movie Review
Hey! There’s a bonus movie in here that I completely forgot I watched last week (if that’s any indication of how it was…), along with everything else that made the cut!
Read moreBook Review: Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll
Full disclosure, the only reason I even picked up this novel, Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll, was because I saw the Netflix trailer and was intrigued by its mystery. That’s sad that Netflix movies are what’s driving my reading choices, but when People magazine is the only source for “new hits,” I suppose I shouldn’t be that surprised.

For someone that cranks out novels so fast, Karen M. McManus has yet to write a bad one. That rule definitely applies to her latest, Nothing More to Tell, too.
Read moreTurnstile – Glow On Album Review
Since I knew I was going to be seeing My Chemical Romance, I knew I was also going to be seeing Turnstile open for them. Aside from watching their performances on late night shows from Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, I hadn’t really done any other digging into their music, but knew I wanted to.

Read moreBook Review: Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
My friend warned me that this book, Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter, was intense, but I think what she meant was disturbing.

Wow, Ruth Ware is really cranking them out! Well, I suppose it’s actually been since 2020 when her last novel came out, but the time seems to have just flown by! Anyways, my sister checked out The IT Girl first and was shocked at the ending, so I knew I needed to read it before it went back to the library.
Read moreBook Review: The Sanitorium by Sarah Pearse
Well, I’ve accidentally stumbled upon the first book in a new detective series. When I look up Sarah Pearse’s debut novel, The Sanitorium, it is listed as the first of the Elin Warner series. I can’t say at this point that I’ll read any more in this series, but overall this was an enjoyable read.

Why did I wait this long to read Jane Harper’s third novel, The Lost Man?!
Read moreBook Review: You’ll Be the Death of Me by Karen M. McManus
My sister is slacking! Given that all of Karen McManus’ other novels are at the top of her best list, I’m surprised that this 2021 thriller, You’ll Be the Death of Me, slipped through her radar. No fear, we have it now some six months later, and it was all worth it.
