Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated The Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum (Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum #1) in Books

Feb 21, 2018

This was a fun read with a unique setting, and was a great start to a new series. When Maddie and her pal Adele find a body in the Paranormal Museum, I expected ghosts galore. There is a paranormal element to the story, but it has more to do with an historical crime rather than the modern one. One mystery keeps Maddie and her friends busy during the day, and the other helps her decide whether to stay in town and run the Paranormal Museum or keep looking for work elsewhere. I enjoyed both stories, and the cast of characters, from Maddie's friends and family, to the two police officers handling the murder case, and then the attractive neighbor next door. I'm looking forward to reading more about the museum, Maddie, and her friends.

Note: I received a free copy from the author and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Beautifully written

Tiffany Blues by M.J. Rose is a beautifully written historical fiction that for the most part, I really enjoyed. The cover art as well as the art inside the book are absolutely gorgeous. The story did move a little bit slow for me, especially the first half of the novel, but more I was captivated towards the end. I loved seeing all of the mysteries around Jenny slowly unravel, and to discover with her what was happening at Laurelton. It was pretty obvious to me who the culprit was, but I did enjoy the mystery nonetheless and discovering exactly what the motives were. The characters were all very well developed and I feel like I truly knew the characters. While some parts of this story were obvious and moved slow, overall I did enjoy this book and would recommend to fans of this genre.

Hazel (2934 KP) rated Echo of the Dead (DSI William Lorimer #19) in Books

Apr 10, 2022

This is another entertaining outing for DSI Lorimer and whilst this is the 19th in the series, it can easily be read as a standalone.

Echo of the Dead if set in the Scottish Highlands and Alex Gray does an excellent job of 'selling' the area to the reader despite the darkness of the story.

Lorimer is on a break with his friend, Daniel, when they stumble upon a body. A short time later, another body is found and Lorimer returns with his Team to investigate. Are these connected and could they be related to an historical massacre?

With a great cast of characters, this is an intriguing mystery with twists and is a great edition to the series and one that I would recommend to lovers of this genre.

Thank you to Little, Brown Book Group and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.
