4/5 Stairs. Great second outing in the Sunshine Vicram series, full of twists and turns, humor, and plenty of sass.

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.
