Mystery and True Crime with a smattering popular books that I enjoy making fun of. 😁

The Circle | Dave Eggers

This is book about a cult pretending to be a tech company. The tenets of this cult are the most nightmarish thing an introvert will ever read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. One of my favorites this year.

This was a wonderful book. A great thing to read before Netflixing the Tudors. It was a very good summary of the time and not so dense that a general audience would find it daunting.

This is one of those books that ends in the wrong place and resolves the wrong conflict. Very disappointed in where it ended but others might be more open to a crime book that only sort DEALS with the crime but ultimately only cares about inner conflict. 😌

Big Little Lies | Liane Moriarty

I loved this book. So much drama. It promises a murder at the end but that really isn't the main focus. This is not murder mystery, it's a book about snotty, rich moms with nothing better to do than hyper-focus on their children.

This was a beautifully done graphic novel. I encourage everyone who enjoys this format and this story to read it at least once.

I really enjoyed this book. Not much of a mystery but the different perspectives across generations was super interesting. I would really only recommend to people who like Lifetime movies though.

Closed Casket: The New Hercule Poirot Mystery | Agatha Christie, Sophie Hannah

This author clearly knows Agatha Christie well. I really enjoyed this book. It had a good mystery and a very good reveal.

I feel like this book has been popular for a while but I found it long, whiney, and boring. Not worth the read.

Read this for book club. This wasn't my usual genre but I really enjoyed it. It was decent and managed to make a character feel pain without sounding whiny. 😁

Pretty Girls: A Novel | Karin Slaughter

Just, no. This book is neither well written nor interesting. The mystery is unnecessarily violent but manages to be silly all at the same time. Not worth the time it takes to get through it.

I read this book because it keeps popping up as "like Hunger Games." FALSE!! It was very poorly written, had no real plot, and no real world building. The only parts that weren't super predictable were the really stupid parts. Don't read!

V.C. Andrews is a guilty pleasure of mine and this book is a promising start to a new series of hers. It is definitely an introduction book so I expect a lot of action come spring!

This was a lot better than I thought this was going to be. I really like the consistency to the Cinderella story while at the same time adding some new stuff of its own with the sci-fi twist. And most importantly, there was no love triangle.

Woman on the Orient Express | Lindsay Jayne Ashford

Mehso-so

For book based on Agatha Christie it has a scandalous lack of mystery. However, the drama was great and the story progression was very solid. If you liked Downton Abbey, you'll like this book. I'm only rating it as so-so because of the lack of spine tingling mystery when the plot is all about Agatha Christie on the actual Orient Express. C'mon, man!!!

I felt like this was a bit long winded, especially at the end, but it was a decent little locked-room mystery. I can see why it was such a big hit.

It was entertaining but not a thought piece and certainly not a cornerstone of the literature surrounding this era. Read it for what it is...a James Patterson murder mystery.

This is the second time I've read this book and this time I choose the Audible version. It's fairly historical, kooky, and fun. Definitely worth a try if your looking for something a little different.
