Book Review: The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton


Description:

Aiden Bishop knows the rules. Evelyn Hardcastle will die every day until he can identify her killer and break the cycle. But every time the day begins again, Aiden wakes up in the body of a different guest at Blackheath Manor. And some of his hosts are more helpful than others. With a locked-room mystery that Agatha Christie would envy, Stuart Turton unfurls a breakneck novel of intrigue and suspense.


My Thoughts:
This is the strangest murder mystery I've ever read. I was intrigued from the very beginning, with our narrator waking up with no memory. As the story continued and became stranger and stranger, I could not read fast enough to try to figure out what was going on, to get all of the puzzle pieces to fit together. Had my full attention up to the very end. Definitely recommend this one.

Book Review: Blast by Robert Blake Whitehill



Description:

The Chesapeake Bay rarely freezes, but when it does, the ice halts global shipping companies and Smith Island fisherfolk alike from making a living. With their deadrise workboats locked in ice at their piers, the people of Smith Island take to the frozen wastes on foot, on skates, and even on golfcarts, to experience this freak weather phenomenon. Blackshaw is not immune to the lure of the ice, but on his sightseeing trek, he discovers the frozen corpse of a woman. Blackshaw and his neighbors bring the dead body to an abandoned restaurant on Smith Island, and place the remains on an old picnic table inside. Only then do they realize the woman was shot at close range, then tossed into the Chesapeake days before the bay froze.
A neighbor boy dashes into the makeshift mortuary with shocking images captured by his drone’s camera. There are eight more corpses still out there frozen in the ice. Blackshaw and his neighbors bring the other bodies inside. Several of them wear life preservers labeled Penelope, which is the name of a massive Liquid Natural Gas transport frozen in the Chesapeake’s main shipping channel. Every corpse shows signs of foul play.
As night falls, Blackshaw and Knocker Ellis decide to patrol through the worsening blizzard to the ship to investigate. Before they leave, LuAnna finds a microscope slide stashed in the first corpse’s clothing. The slide contains a blue fluid, which they quickly identify as a sample of horseshoe crab blood. They soon tie the murders of the Penelope’screw to a plan set in motion by Big Pharma which wants to destroy the entire Chesapeake Bay fishery.
Blackshaw’s frenemies from the FBI, Agents Molly Wilde and Pershing Lowry, soon join the mission, which involves keen detective work, as well as a several bloody skirmishes aboard an LNG tanker wired to explode. Blackshaw, LuAnna, Ellis, and friends must defuse the plot before Washington, D.C. is devastated, and life in the Chesapeake Bay is poisoned for decades to come.


My Thoughts:

It's always a good day when a new Ben Blackshaw book comes out. This sixth installment has all of the action and thrills we have come to expect. When bodies start showing up in the ice, Blackshaw and the other Smith Islanders need to figure out what is happening. There are plenty of bad guys, explosions, and suspense along the way. I love the humor that is sprinkled in, just a touch to lighten things up, and the fact that the women in this series are just as tough as the men. As always, I finished this book already looking forward to the next.

Book Review: A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall


Description:

When Viola Carroll was presumed dead at Waterloo she took the opportunity to live, at last, as herself. But freedom does not come without a price, and Viola paid for hers with the loss of her wealth, her title, and her closest companion, Justin de Vere, the Duke of Gracewood.


Only when their families reconnect, years after the war, does Viola learn how deep that loss truly was. Shattered without her, Gracewood has retreated so far into grief that Viola barely recognises her old friend in the lonely, brooding man he has become.

As Viola strives to bring Gracewood back to himself, fresh desires give new names to old feelings. Feelings that would have been impossible once and may be impossible still, but which Viola cannot deny. Even if they cost her everything, all over again.

My Thoughts:

If you are looking for a romance with a trans woman who gets her HEA, look no further. I loved this so much. The heroine is trans, but the story is not all about her being trans. There is angst and darkness but also light, fluffy sweetness and I just really enjoyed this story.

Book Review: The Vibrant Years by Sonali Dev



Description:

Living on their own terms means being there for one another.


When sixty-five-year-old Bindu Desai inherits a million dollars, she’s astounded―and horrified. The windfall threatens to expose a shameful mistake from her youth. On an impulse, Bindu quickly spends it on something unexpected: a condo in a posh retirement community in Florida.

The impulsive decision blindsides Bindu’s daughter-in-law, Aly. At forty-seven, Aly still shares a home with Bindu even after her divorce from Bindu’s son. But maybe this change is just the push Aly needs to fight for her own dreams.

As Bindu and Aly navigate their new dynamic, Aly’s daughter, Cullie, is faced with losing the business that made her a tech-world star. The only way to save it is to deliver a new idea to her investors―and they want the dating app she pitched them in a panic. Problem is, Cullie has never been on a real date. Naturally, enlisting her single mother and grandmother to help her with the research is the answer.

From USA Today bestselling author Sonali Dev comes a heartfelt novel about three generations of hilarious, unconventional, ambitious women who embark on a shared journey of self-discovery. Join the Desai women as they come together to embrace the hijinks and heartbreak of facing their greatest fears to finally live their most vibrant lives.

My Thoughts:


A lovely book about three women from three generations. All are at different points in their lives, yet they have so much in common. All three women are figuring out their lives, dating, and finding love. There is plenty of humor. I enjoyed this story very much, as I do all of Sonali Dev's books.
