Reading Verses for the Dead

/ Leave a Comment

Verses for the Dead is book #18 in the Pendergast series by Preston & Child. If you have read any of the rest of the series, you know that Agent Pendergast (FBI) prefers to work on his own, but in this case he is paired up with a junior agent to “assist” him (ie. spy on him and report any rogue behaviour to their boss.) A serial killer is on the loose, and Pendergast is the only one who seems to have any idea how to pursue the investigation.

Let’s not forget this classic Agatha Christie

/ 1 Comment

I have just finished reading Elephants Can Remember, a classic Poirot mystery by Agatha Christie. I don’t recall having read this one before. It was an engaging story, with the facts/clues presented to the reader giving them lots of opportunity to put the puzzle together and figure out what happened. Christie sometimes holds back clues from the reader, especially in Poirot books, not telling us everything that the Belgian detective has discovered in his investigations, but I think everything relevant had been mentioned in this one. I had a pretty good idea what had happened, though there are enough red herrings to keep me guessing as to which are relevant.

Curl Up With The Cat Who Blew the Whistle

/ Leave a Comment

It has been a long time since I read any of Lilian Jackson Braun’s “The Cat Who…” series, so I am enjoying a return to the series with The Cat Who Blew the Whistle. I haven’t read all of the books in this series, but I couldn’t tell you which ones I have or haven’t read. Enough that I know the main characters, and that coming back to the series is a bit like returning home.

Fun in Beaches, Bungalows & Burglaries

/ Leave a Comment

Many cozy mystery series begin with the sleuth inheriting a store or home, sometimes from a previously unknown relative, so that she is able to fulfill her dream of opening a book store, bakery, bed and breakfast, etc. In Beaches, Bungalows & Burglaries, the opposite happens. Protagonist Mae West’s husband has defrauded people out of millions of dollars. He is in prison and the FBI have ceased all of his assets, so that all Mae is left with is a little RV park that she never knew he owned. And… spoiler alert… it is not in the kind of shape it was back in its heyday.

Get your Thrills with Stop at Nothing

/ Leave a Comment

Stop at Nothing is the first book in Michael Ledwidge’s Michael Gannon series, and it starts off with a splash. A Gulfstream jet ends up in the drink in the Bahamas, with only one witness (and one who cannot call for help, due to a recent fishing mishap involving his radio antennae.) Fisherman Michael Gannon checks out the wreck, and you might think that would be the end of it, especially when he decides to do a little property recovery from the luggage that was on the jet. But Gannon has a rather exciting past, and the retiree fisher is more than meets the eye.
