⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] What a fabulous read. I just love finding new and addictive detective series, particularly those with a strong female protagonist. And the icing on the cake, - the dual setting of this book, with the story - alternating between Long Island, NY and in and around County…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] My stop today on the @RandomThingsTour #BlogTour for #TheMaidens Just, wow! Another home run from the Master of the crazy-twist-ending-out-of-nowhere, I admit I did not see this one coming (although I did get part of the way there…) A wonderful mixture of character-driven psychology, gruesome Greek mythology,…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Easily one of the best books I’ve read this year. Katharina is a sprawling, immersive and meticulously researched account of the early years of Katharina Von Bora, the fascinating and little-known woman who became the wife of Martin Luther, the German priest who triggered the Protestant Reformation, in 1525.…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 This book was written (and exhaustively researched) by two PHDs at the University of Calgary, one a Professor of Medicine and the other a Clinical Psychologist. What a terrific read! The premise of the book is simple - the authors, experts in their field and blindingly aware of…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What happens when you have something sad or desolate to share, and you can’t find someone willing to listen? This beautiful little picture book explores this very theme, handling the story with such charm and grace that the overall messaging, far from being sad, instead becomes a lovely and…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow. This book passed the lump-in-the-throat test. With flying colours. Reading the last few pages, my emotional reaction was sudden and visceral and my head unmistakably fuzzy as I closed the book. Who do we really know for sure? How far are we willing to go to protect the…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stephen Connor is a cop, a man who feels himself to be often misunderstood, and yet does his best to do the right thing, as he is, at the end of the day, including mistakes and all the messiness around them, “an honorable man, in a difficult job”. In…
