The Secrets We Keep Lead to Stories We Tell
After the success of her recent case, Betty Ahern finds herself being hired by her co-workers at the Bell Airplane factory to help them solve problems for them. However, she isn’t sure what she can do for Emmie, who is certain that her grandmother was murdered and didn’t die of natural causes as everyone else assumes. Betty does a little digging and is about to give up when a member of the Polish government in exile, visiting Buffalo, is murdered. When Betty begins to think there might be a connection between the two, she wonders if their deaths are connected. If they are, can she prove it?

I was happy to return to Buffalo in December 1942 to visit with Betty again. This book really brought the time period to life with the little details of life during World War II for those at home. I did have to remind myself of the different time and Betty’s age during some of her interactions with others, especially her parents. Having said that, I did like seeing how the characters are growing, especially her relationships with her parents. I found the beginning of the book slow, I think because Betty needed time to make the connection that would drive the plot, but once she did I was hooked. One red herring wasn’t completely wrapped up, but I was still mostly satisfied with the solution to the mystery. I’m looking forward to visiting with Betty again soon.

Shrooms (Garden Variety Zombies 1)
By Zola Joyce
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hazel always had doubts about the protective abilities of the government. Particularly Child Protective Services and the cranky old lady who’d been doing her best to separate Hazel from her one and only parental unit. Why couldn’t Mrs. Stenopoulos see the value of independent living, and Hazel’s knack for it from the youngest of ages?
She was second in command of her mother’s slightly illegal but very profitable enterprise.
She’d taught herself to drive a full four years before she was eligible to get a license.
She’d rescued her beloved hound from the ‘Clinical Trial’ her mother’s boyfriend of the month had recently concocted.
And just a few weeks after her 15th birthday, she’d secured a full ride scholarship to the local university. Early entrance.
Hazel was a caretaker, a dog lover, and a crack shot. Ask anyone in town.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.


If you enjoy Zombie YA then it’s definitely the book for you! I think it could have done with a bit more humor and it did have some just didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I’ve gone with a 3⭐️ because it’s well written and the idea is really interesting. The ending has thrown me a little and I really want to read the next to make sure I wasn’t high on mushrooms reading that last page 😆.
