Double Wide. A mini-review.

July 23, 2021July 23, 2021 / beckmank / 3 Comments

5/5 Stairs. One of my favorite series! Ms. Archer changes the narrative up in this outing. Davis Way is kidnapped, and the story is told through a series of letters, emails, and newspaper articles.

Punning with Scissors: A Fun Cozy Read!

May 6, 2021May 5, 2021 / beckmank / Leave a comment

4.5/5 Stairs - The Crossword Puzzle Mystery series fully embraces all my favorite elements of a cozy: an amateur sleuth who isn’t perfect but tries to do her best, a couple of good friends to help when the going gets rough, and a small town setting with plenty of interesting characters.

That’s a wrap, January! I read 13 books this month, and made progress on both the #clearyourshelfchallenge and the #2023netgalleychallenge ! I read a lot of good books this month, but The Thursday Murder Club was by far my favorite. Loved that cast of characters and will be picking up the second in the series soon.
