4/5 Stairs. If you are headed to the beach or pool this summer, be sure to toss a copy of You Have a Match in your bag!

A Lethal Lesson.

April 10, 2021April 10, 2021 / beckmank / 2 Comments

5/5 Stairs. A missing person, an unconscious victim, and a hit-and-run. There's a lot going on in King's Cove. Highly recommended for those who enjoy historical fiction/mystery, strong female leads (think Maisie Dobbs!), and mysteries that dive into not just the whodunit but the why?

March is Women's History Month, and I realized as I pulled this wrap-up together that ALL the books I read this month were written by women!

When No One is Watching. A mini review.

March 20, 2021March 19, 2021 / beckmank / 1 Comment

4/5 Stairs. When No One is Watching is labeled as a "psychological thriller," and it definitely was. I think this is a must-read for everyone. Ms. Cole tackles some very important topics, puts things in perspective, and really makes you think. Great read.
