Review: Hither, Page

Hither, Page by Cat Sebastian
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was good fun from start to finish.

A small village in the English countryside is trying to return to some semblance of normal after the Second Great War when the murder of the village charwoman known for her snooping and drinking causes quite a stir. Is it an accident...or murder? Village doctor James Sommers is definitely hoping for the former. After years as a war doctor all he wants is quiet days.

Enter Leo Page, charming spy, to turn the doctor's wish on its ear.

I would go into more, but it'd really give away some of the beauty of discovering these characters on your own. And there was so much here to enjoy, especially if you're fond of Christie-esque whodunnits, colorful old ladies, and charming villages full of secrets.

As always, Cat Sebastian does not disappoint.

Review: Silent in the Grave

Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn My rating: 2 of 5 stars #PopsugarReadingChallenge2019 Prompt - a book recommended by a celebrity you admire: The incomparable Felicia Day (actress, author, all around good egg) rated this 5 stars in her active Goodreads library. ...and I won't hold it against her. Once upon a time, Modern Millie travelled back in time and did a bunch of things that were not possible for women during the Victorian era. Along the way, she met an android disguised as a human that could slice and dice and speak every language. He also had a superpower: to annoy this particular reader to the point of pain. Literal pain, mind you. I rolled my eyes so hard and often that I gave myself a headache. Together, they set out to alternately annoy and bore the shit out of me, as it was also her superpower; and solve a murder that I, myself, solved before 40% of the book had been read. Unfortunately, they survived to annoy and angst me into...

Review: Dirty Money

Dirty Money by Liliana Hart My rating: 5 of 5 stars This really wasn't long enough. The story stops at 88% for some reason, but fine. I'll accept that because it was awesome! The stakes were extremely high this time around after the cliffhanger in the last book. I'm happy that Jack and Jaye are evolving as a married couple while dealing with old ghosts. This book wrapped up a 4-book story arc, and while it feels like a good place to end, I hope that it doesn't. View all my reviews
