When Trixie learns that the local birds are having trouble finding food, she thinks it is the perfect project to keep the Bob-Whites busy during an especially harsh winter. They quickly decide to put on a pet show to raise funds. But someone disagrees. Who is out to sabotage the show?
Most fans of the series focus on the elements that seem out of place – Mart working on a computer and the Sleepyside mall. However, I still like this book. The plot seems weak for an entry in the series, and the crime is a little forced, but that’s my only complaint. There are some good opportunities for character growth, and the story is still fun overall.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2173 KP) rated The Baker Street Jurors (Baker Street Letters, #5) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Nigel has been roped into jury duty, and he’s landed on the high profile case of a cricket star who is accused of killing his wife. But one of the jurors is using some very familiar phrases. And accidents seem to happen to the other jurors. What is going on?
I’ve enjoyed the letters to Sherlock aspect of the earlier books in the series. In this book, that played a very small part of the story, so small it almost didn’t really matter. The mystery and the court case were interesting, but the plot was still a little weak. Fans of the series will enjoy spending time in this world, but the earlier books were more creative.

Lindsay (1717 KP) rated A Table by the Window (Two Blue Doors #1) in Books
Feb 15, 2018
I never thought I would like a series like this one. It was new to me and I did enjoy it. You get something that no other book does or often. You get recipes at the end of each chapter. I want to finish out this series when the books come out. I hope it soon. If you like recipes this book may be for you. None the less I hope you can decide for yourself. I hope you enjoy reading it. I hope you have a good experience with it but if not it okay. I really had a hard time putting it down. My other this is I had a little bit of a hard time reading it. It had nothing to do with the author or her writing. It had something to do with me myself and understanding the concept.
Gail (4 KP) rated Agony & Ecstasy (The Marcy Series, #3) in Books

Agony and Ecstasy by Linda Burson
Four Stars
This is book three in the series. We start with Marcy still trying to unlock her nightmares. During one session things start to become clear and her nightmares start to become clear. She is still seeing Liam but has Brad on the side. Its a very interesting story and held my attention. Marcy gets on my nerve with the back and forth between the guys. I don’t understand how you say you love someone but go and find comfort in another mans arms. The author writing style was different and seems to start you out slow and than bam there’s the climax. If your looking for a book series that will have you wanting to know wth this is for you. The author does great with the details but the characters need new personalities.

David McK (3377 KP) rated The Eagle in the Sand (Eagle, #7) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Last book (so far) in Simon Scarrows Macro and Cato series to include the use of the word 'Eagle' in the title - before the series as a whole was rebranded - and the first book to be set in the Eastern provinces (unlike the earlier novels, set in and around Europe).
The events of this one, instead, take place in Judea, mainly centring around a small fort on the outpost of the Roman Empire. While its not essential to have read the earlier novels, it may help, with the occassional passing reference to earlier events.
I also have to say that it could be easy to take offence at the way certain famous historical personages - one in particular - are portrayed, but at the end of the day, this is only a work of fiction and doesn't purport to be anything but.

Merissa (11961 KP) rated Bluegrass Undercover (Bluegrass Brothers, #1) in Books
Dec 17, 2018
I love the Bluegrass series and was very happy to read that there was more to come in the shape of the Bluegrass Brothers. This is a set of books set in a small town where everybody knows everybody and some know things that no one else knows how they know! Still with me? This book carries on with the LOL moments and the suspense in this book is in the form of the drugs ring that the DEA is trying to break.
The ending was fairly obvious but I wasn't reading it for the suspense side of things so this wasn't a problem for me. If you are looking for a light read, filled with humour, feel-good moments and spice thrown in there too, then give the Bluegrass/Bluegrass Brothers series a go. Recommended.
