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

The Mother-in-Law. Not what I was expecting, but even better than I imagined.

March 10, 2020 / beckmank / Leave a comment

5/5 Stairs to The Mother-in-Law. A fantastic novel about two strong women that reminds you there are two sides to every story. Highly recommended.

5/5 Stairs. I can't recommend this book enough. The writing is beautiful, and the characters and mystery are intriguing. One of my favorite 2018 reads.
