Intelligent conversation
Fantastic Research
Mysteries and the paranormal from around the world, from Dyatlov Pass and the Bloop to the Money Pit and the Black Monk of Pontefract. Scott and Forrest discuss the whole case, with excellent research support from the Astonishing Research Corps, and all of the possible explanations, from the very sensible to the utterly outlandish, without being judgemental, but with a healthy dose of scepticism. It can feel a bit like listening in on a conversation between two old friends, talking about the weird and wonderful backed up by a library of esoteric knowledge. With the research corps including astrophysicists and professional researchers, you can be confident that any topic has been thoroughly investigated from all angles.
A fascinating podcast, great to listen to for sceptics and believers alike.

This novella collection contains three Christmas themed mysteries starring the author's regular series characters. As a fan of the first two, I loved their stories. Leslie's left me a little cold, but I do intend to give her series a try soon.

Odelia is attending her high school reunion when the class jerk keels over dead. Then her boss goes missing. Can Odelia solve these two mysteries? The book was lots of fun, and the two stories definitely kept things moving forward.

You know when a book just leaves you stunned and you can no longer think about anything other than that book, that's the feeling I got when I finished this.
Characters are amazing, plot is so unique, if you love stories about God's, mysteries and, well, stories, this is an amazing book.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book is the delightful beginning to the Courtney Archer Mysteries and features a likable lead who can't tell the truth about her background.
I loved this book! It was such a fun read! Can't wait for the next one in the series!

Is anyone reading any exciting books for Christmas? I have a choice of "The Deaths of December" by Susi Holliday, or "Murder on Christmas Eve: Classic Mysteries for the Festive Season."


I might take a look at "Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery" by Jenny Colgan, but this is the third book in a series and I like to read them in order.

The hosts, golden days of Hollywood, humor (0 more)
This is a fun podcast about mysteries, scandals, true crimes, and gossip of the Hollywood famous from silent films to modern-day. The hosts have potty mouths and can be quite filthy so it is NSFW and may be offensive to some. But if you can handle adult material, you might find it entertaining.

"My friend Shigehiko Hasumi told me that Naruse was a very silent man because he had the feeling the world had betrayed him. Naruse was one of the greatest craftsmen of all time, a man who always spoke softly about our weaknesses. This is one of those rare films that will offer you new mysteries each time you see it."
