WILD PITCH – A. B. Guthrie, Jr.
WESTERN WEEK THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE When we typically think of ‘western’ fiction, we’re imagining cowboy and wandering soldiers in the 1800’s, exploring a vast, largely unexplored wilderness west of the Mississippi River. A.B. Guthrie Jr.’s Wild Pitch is less a western than it is a mystery set in the American Southwest. I was not Continue reading

2CREATE – Yoav Litvin
The subtitle of this book is misleading. It reads “Art Collaborations in New York City” which sounded really fascinating to me. But what it really is is graffiti artist collaborations. Still potentially really interesting, but not what I was expecting. Given that this book is about graffiti artist collaborations in New York City, it strikes Continue reading

REYKJAVIC NIGHTS – Arnaldur Indriðason
Mysteries by Scandinavian authors are very popular. Reykjavik Nights is a prequel to a series by Arnaldur Indridason featuring his detective Erlendur when Erlendur was still just a street cop and not yet a detective. I have not read any of the other books in the Erlendur series so I can’t comment on how this fits in the Continue reading

OLIVER TWISTED – Cindy Brown
This is my third Ivy Meadows Mystery (and third in the series) and I find these books to be just plain fun. Ivy Meadows is an amateur actor and an amateur detective, working for her Uncle Bob’s private investigations firm (Duda Detective Agency). This time the agency has a special client … a cruise ship Continue reading

A WHOLE LATTE MURDER – Caroline Fardig
I’m liking these Java Jive mysteries! Juliet Langley is a manager at a local coffee-house, Java Jive. She works for her long-time friend, Pete Bennett. At one time, Juliet wanted to be a singer, but a bad case of stage fright has put that passion to rest, though she still enjoys playing her guitar and Continue reading

THE PREACHER – Ted Thackrey, Jr.
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE This is another book that is in my Kindle and I have absolutely no idea where it came from. None of the usual places where I get my Advanced Reader Copies of books has this title. I suspect it came straight from the publisher, but I just have no memory Continue reading

James Moriarty (and his sister Moria) is sent to the boarding school Baskerville Academy. He doesn’t want to go, but his father strongly reminds him that attendance at Baskerville is Continue reading

PUMPKINS IN PARADISE – Kathi Daley
Tj Jensen is just your typical soccer mom. She’s coaching the local girl’s team and heading to the state finals. She’s also volunteering at the local pumpkin festival. And when she discovers her good friend Zachary Collins dead in his chair at home and the local police close the case without much investigation, Tj takes it Continue reading

GRAVEN IMAGES – Jane Waterhouse
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE I have no idea where this book came from. I have a new Kindle that I’ve been using to load only the newest books that I receive from publishers/publicists for review and I am reading them in consecutive order as I get them. This was the next book on that Continue reading

Former television writer/producer Jeffrey L. Diamond has taken his experience working in television and brought it to the page in this mystery/thriller, Live to Air. Ethan Benson is a television producer working for a magazine-format show in New York. Ethan doesn’t like doing crime stories, but sometimes, even as a producer, you have to answer Continue reading

BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE – Robert Bailey
I’m really delighted that author Robert Bailey found a new publisher for his McMurtrie & Drake series after Exhibit A Books shut down. But I’m not surprised that someone else picked this series up – Bailey writes just about the best legal thrillers being published today. Tom McMurtrie is a retired law professor. A former Continue reading
