Former lovers reunite to solve a cold case, but Rain doesn't want Danny to know he can talk to ghosts. Fun, fast paced read chock full of banter and spice. Also chock full of inconsistencies and copaganda, which is less fun. Great square for #Swifty bingo, because they are never ever getting back together. 😁

“Dinah's face suffused with color. 'You can't speak to me like that.' For all of her rough exterior, she sounded like Anne of Green gables. Insert petticoat and pearls to clutch.“
Um.... what?
so-soThis is not grounded in reality at all. Do not expect this to be a good procedural investigation book. I would say it's romance with light mystery and squad goals.
The case is a child abduction and murder which automatically takes it out of the cosy genre for me. None of it was handled well or respectfully in the writing. It felt exploitative, as if it was included just for shock value. The perpetrator did not make sense.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

pickGreat read about life from a cops perspective!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reichert worked for over twenty years to solve the Green River Killer case. This is his firsthand recounting of the grueling hours, days, years he chased leads, logged evidence, and ultimately got that asshole Gary Ridgway.
so-soReread. Queer cozy mystery.
As much as I give this book/series an average rating, it ends up being good for rereading when I need something cozy and reassuring.
Both characters are competent and kind, and neither gets in their own way as far as a developing relationship. Although the characters weren't all vibrant, the story--and mystery--held together, and the whole thing is a nice escape from reality.

This picture book tells the story of Bass Reeves, a man who was born a slave and became a sheriff in the Wild West before Oklahoma became a state. Reeves really seems like an incredible man; my issue with this book was how flippantly Native Americans were referred to, as well as murder/death - “he ONLY killed 14 people!“ 😳 This just didn't seem like appropriate content for a picture book. What I enjoyed the most were the illustrations.
Here‘s my #bookhaul from today‘s library sale! 🥳 $3.50 total. That‘s my kind of pricing!
