Bernice Takes A Plunge – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Bernice Peppercorn was not a morning person. Jake, on the other hand, was. Breakfast was often bickering on toast.” How insanely cute does this cover look?! Bernice kind of looks like me when I was younger, but wish I still had that ginger hair! I haven’t read many mystery/adventure books for children…

She Lies Close – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The ones who are really crazy, the ones who know they are crazy, those are the ones who are careful. Those are the ones who meticulously organize their sh*t. Those are the ones who wouldn’t keep a child in plain sight in their basement.” This book is one of those that throws…

Incredible! I’d heard so many great things about this one before I had the chance to be on this tour, so when…
The Quality Of Mercy – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “What matters to one may be irrelevant to the other. What holds one back, may propel another forward. With this constant dance, this push and pull of humanity, is it any wonder when someone trips and shatters the balance of our small world?” Well, this one packs a punch! A 1920’s historical…

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “What on earth are you doing silly bird? You are not a dairy cow. You are a wild turkey and the most comical Bubbly Jock I ever saw.” Owwhh, this book! This is a first – a children’s story that’s made me well up with both joy and sadness. Not only that,…
Murder By The Seaside – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A murder with no known suspects. A chance meeting that changes everything…” A shorter story of gruesome murder, deep detective work and dark characters you simply can’t help but get enough of!
