Jackaby | William Ritter

Pickpick

Abby, new in town and clueless about magic and the supernatural, finds work immediately with private detective Jackaby. Jackaby can see things no one else can, and thus can solve mysteries involving the bizarre and wondrous. Abby moves into his guestroom and befriends the house‘s previous owner, now a ghost. Abby and Jackaby, with the help of a young cop who is more than he appears, help to solve murders that are preceded by the noise of ⬇️

Texreader incessant crying. When Abby and Jackaby hear the noise, they fear they are the next victims. Of course, all is not as it seems in this otherworldly book. Jackaby employs unusual methods to try to discover the culprit much to the annoyance of a police chief who doesn‘t believe in Jackaby‘s nonsense. This is a great book but I wish the narrator gave Jackaby more nuance. She uses precise, unwavering pronunciation that can be uncomfortable. 5d

Very fun, cute m/m romance, although it‘s about navigating friendships too!

I liked the story and the cast of characters is great! However, the cover and blurb are misleading, as about 75% of the book takes place in autumn. So, that was disappointing, since I was expecting something more Christmas-y.

‘The coachman tried to warn young Mary Yellan away from the ruined, forbidding place on the rainswept Cornish coast..‘

A nice gothic tale, this was dark and atmospheric. I enjoyed it. Good writing and details.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A soft pick. Halliday Valentine runs her family‘s Christmas factory. She‘s a psychic witch with a hummingbird familiar and a reindeer who is her grandmother. This book is like crossing Sabrina the Teenage Witch with a Hallmark mystery movie.

I really enjoyed this Inspector Grant mystery -- the final one that Josephine Tey had written. Grant stumbles upon a murder while travelling to the Scotland Highlands for a much-needed vacation.

This has really pretty, unique illustrations- but it‘s literally just the classic song. Which is - to be quite honest - really annoying. And filled with birds. Where is she going to put all those birds? #WinterGames2024 Team #XmasChaCha #ChristmasChapterChasers #Adventathon @BookmarkTavern #ChristmasAtoZ @Texreader #LetterJ
