What She Knew: A Novel | Gilly Macmillan

This was a good mystery with several twists. An 8 year old boy goes missing & this one had me suspecting several characters. Well written even if it did drag a bit in places.

4.5 ⭐️

I have read all of Nita Prose's Maid books, and this one is my favorite! Molly the Maid takes some things to work to get appraised because there is an antique show filming there, and the workers can bering something. She takes an egg at the last minute. Prose uses this egg to tell the backstory of Molly's Gran. We get to learn her history, which I loved. Prose does this through a dairy left for Molly. There is a mystery to solve ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read because the egg goes missing, but I enjoyed the backstory more. Prose continues to develop her characters, not only the MC, but all of them. If you enjoy cozy mysteries and haven't read The Maid Series yet, what in the world are you waiting for? I would suggest you start with The Maid. That way, you won't be lost.

Tentative Publication Date: April 8, 2025

Thanks to Netgalley, Random House Publishing Group, Ballantine Books and Nita Prose for the E-ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Oh my goodness, this was soooo good! Haymitch‘s backstory is great, but it‘s so heartbreaking, and I‘m emotionally wrecked. I loved all the connections made to other characters in the series and thought they totally worked. Just a fabulous read and a great addition to the series!

I really like this author. She takes a basic mystery and makes it so complex with so many variable that it's impossible to figure it all out on your own.

The Fisherman | John Langan

I absolutely love the more modern storyline in the book. The author has a style of writing that really pulled me in. However, there‘s a story within the story that almost ruined the entire thing for me. It‘s basically about the legend and folklore about this particular fishing spot the the town that used to exist around it. The owner of a local diner tells the tale to two fisherman in an attempt to scare them away….and he drones on for hours!!!

JoeMo I found myself thinking “there must be a reason for including several generations of details.” But in the end, I found it did more to derail the story and a short-short version would have sufficed. That being said, I was captivated again when the book returned to modern times and am glad to have seen it through.

Reggie I loved this book but totally agree the story from the diner from a brother whose father told him some story he heard from somebody who heard from somebody until you can‘t remember who‘s telling the story. 3d

I listened to this while my stepdaughter reads it for English class….I was shocked that I loved it. There was a lot more compassion and tenderness than I anticipated for a book about a gang of teenage boys. I see why this is considered to be the start of YA fiction, even though most of what I‘ve read in the genre pales in comparison. My stepdaughter, she‘s still working on it, but she read ahead to the ending (what‘s with young people today?).

Ruthiella Oh, I‘m old and I will sometimes read the end first when I‘m worried and a character or story arc. I find out what happened -get the worst over with- and the go back and read the rest.😅 3d
TheLudicReader Hinton's novel That Was Then, This is Now is even better, imho. 3d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3d
JoeMo @TheLudicReader I checked out Hinton‘s other books, noticed the great reviews for this, and added it to my TBR! Thanks for sharing 2d

My daughter goes to school about an hour from where these take place & a friend of mine lives there. It makes them even more entertaining to me. I found myself laughing throughout this book. Such a great escape.
