Gamer Girls: Gnat Vs. Spyder
by Andrea Towers

This book was alright. I liked it but I also found it a little too predictable. I didn’t enjoy it too, too much but it wasn’t terrible. It was a little enjoyable but I found it a bit boring.

Intermezzo

This is a story of two brothers, Ivan and Perter, who are 10 years apart in age. They have very different personalities and when their father died, the brothers' drifted apart into separate lives with unresolved conflicts. Dysfunctional family, but compelling writing and great character development. It is not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Guess Again (ARC from Kensington)

Goodreads review - Thank you to Charlie Donlea, Between the Chapters Book Club and Kensington Publishers for an ARC of Guess Again. I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am a HUGE fan of Charlie Donlea's because he writes a mystery unlike any other author I've come across. I've read everything he's written. Thankfully I don't retain books well so I can always go back and reread in a couple of years. Guess Again has many characters in a Wisconsin setting. Ethan Hall is an ER doctor after he resigned as a detective who had a 100% solve rate for the crimes he investigated. He's contacted by Pete Kramer, his old partner to help solve a cold case involving a teen who vanished. That teen, Callie Jones, is the now governor Mark Jones' daughter. Ethan agrees to take a look at the case in his spare time. Ethan discovers details about the case that didn't come to light during the initial investigation. Ethan is also a victim of crime - his father was a police officer who was murdered. There are so many details and characters that I always wonder how it will all come together - especially as more details continue thoroughout the storyline. But, Mr. Donlea always brings everything all together in the ending. I also sincerely appreciate that he explains all the details in the ending so there aren't any confusing loose ends. Again - as with all of Mr. Donlea's books, I was NOT able to figure out whodunit. That's also why I enjoy his books so much. I don't want to give away the ending but I will say that I gasped twice at things revealed. Best ending yet.

Very thin plot line. Author seemed to be more concerned about the weather conditions as characters went from one location to another

A Murder Most French
by Colleen Cambridge
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I have very recently read books one and three in Ms. Cambridge's An American in Paris mystery series and loved both. I especially love how the history and culture of Paris is so detailed in her books. Tabitha and Julia are the best pair of friends. Julia is teaching Tabitha how to cook and Tabitha helps Julia with her French. The two of them made me laugh thoroughout this book as well as the other two books. Tabitha has again decided to help with local murders when she witnesses them. I don't want to give anything away so won't list who is murdered. I especially enjoy how much she annoys the Inspector with her helpfulness in solving crimes, bringing clues to him, etc. An American in Paris Mystery series was fun to read as someone who loves mysteries and cozies. I also very much enjoyed learning more about the Paris catacombs, about how important wine was during the war and in Paris culture, all of the numerous cats that are in Paris and the Coke concern. (from my Goodreads review)

The Hate U Give

This book really made me think about the issue of police brutality. Because we live in Glastonbury and have a relatively low crime rate. But this book made me think about the consequences and outcomes of this issue.
