Jesse Q. Sutanto first came on my radar with her smash hit, Dial A For Aunties [Buy Bookshop Amazon], which was one of my earlier reviews on this site. It’s a wild murder mystery, so if you liked that vibe, her newest book will be a winner for you too. I was already planning toContinue reading “Jesse Q. Sutanto and “Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice For Murderers””

“Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun” from Elle Cosimano
Why are there cheese fries in the picture with the third installment of Elle Cosiman’s Finlay Donovan series, you ask? Well, there’s one kinda throwaway line in Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun [Buy Bookshop Amazon] that mentions cheese fries and it became all I could think about. So, I drove 15 minutes to get someContinue reading ““Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun” from Elle Cosimano”
Mary Kubica and “Just The Nicest Couple”
The last author event I attended before the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns was Mary Kubica when she was promoting The Other Mrs. It was a lovely event and I kept reading her stuff, including Local Woman Missing, which I reviewed last year. Now, she’s back with another domestic thriller, Just The Nicest Couple. This story followsContinue reading “Mary Kubica and “Just The Nicest Couple””

Colleen Hoover’s Big Hit, “Verity”
Ok, ok, ok… I’m gonna jump on the Colleen Hoover train for a hot second. Verity has been one of the ‘it’ books for a while now, thanks to BookTok. I’m generally reluctant to go along with the buzzy things unless I get there before it’s a big deal, so it’s no surprise I tookContinue reading “Colleen Hoover’s Big Hit, “Verity””
Ashley Flowers and “All Good People Here”
I had never heard of Ashley Flowers before picking up All Good People Here. I grabbed it because the blurb on the back of the ARC sent to my store said “Wakarusa, Indiana” and I was all, ‘hey, I know that place!’. So I texted my parents about it and jumped in. All Good PeopleContinue reading “Ashley Flowers and “All Good People Here””
Jesse Q. Sutanto’s “Four Aunties And A Wedding”
If you haven’t read Dial A For Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto or my review of that genre-blending novel, then this review might not make a lot of sense to you. Four Aunties And A Wedding is not a novel that plays well as a standalone. There are several references to the first book thatContinue reading “Jesse Q. Sutanto’s “Four Aunties And A Wedding””

If you haven’t read Finlay Donovan Is Killing It by Elle Cosimano, then A) what are you doing with your life? and B) this review is going to be full of spoilers for the first book. You. Have. Been. Warned. Okay, so, Finlay Donovan Knocks ‘Em Dead picks up shortly after the end of theContinue reading “Elle Cosimano’s “Finlay Donovan Knocks ‘Em Dead””
