Little Darlings. A mini review.

September 4, 2021September 3, 2021 / beckmank / 1 Comment

4/5 Stairs. I'm not sure how to classify this book - it's a police procedural, contemporary fiction, mythical/fairy tale, fantasy, and even a little suspense/thriller mystery all wrapped into one.

As always, this is a fast-paced page turner. Great mystery/thriller for all you armchair detectives out there.

5 Stairs to I Kissed Shara Wheeler by @casey.mcquiston . One of my two favorite reads of June!
5 Stairs to Framed in Fire by @itwhishaw Iona Whishaw. As always, I loved the latest book in the Lane Winslow mystery series. One of two absolute favorite reads in June!
4.5 Stairs to The Woman in the Library by @sularigentill This book was a story within a story, which was unexpected and so interesting! The heart of this book is a locked room-type mystery; there's a scream in the library and later a woman turns up dead - how did she get there? We follow the budding friendships of four strangers as they try to crack the case. And that's all I will say to avoid spoilers. :)
