by James Bowen (Author), Kristopher Milnes (Narrator), Recorded Books (Publisher) An Audiobook I so enjoyed “A Street Can Named Bob” by James Bowen. It’s the lovely story of two strays on the streets of London coming together in mutual need, love, and care. James lives as a penniless drug addict, having run from home at an early age. When we…
by Iona Whishaw (Author), Marilla Wex (Narrator), TouchWood Editions (Publisher) An audiobook. First, I love this mystery series by Iona Whishaw, set in British Colombia, Canada, just after WWII. This is the fifth book, and about a year has passed since book one. Lane has had some dangerous mysteries to solve – some of them were to get herself out…
A super, short story-a-day challenge in February? Well… probably not, but I might try to write a few. #1. A forbidden flash bulb pops, blinding the old lawman. He slaps his right thigh, reaching for the revolver. Gone. The hand turns claw-like as his eyes drill the offender. His chin dips, and the Stetson shadows…
Rosemary Lord lives in Hollywood, right at the base of the hills where the Sunset Fire blazed. Here’s her story!
by Iona Whishaw (Author), Marilla Wex (Narrator), TouchWood Editions (Publisher) An audiobook This is the best Lane Winslow book in the series I’ve read so far, even though they all are really good. I’ve enjoyed watching the small romance bud between the totally self-sufficient (ex-WWII spy) Lane Winslow and the capable, no-nonsense Canadian Chief Inspector Frederick Darling. (Yes, I smile…
by Benedict Brown (Author), George Blagden (Narrator), Storm Publishing (Publisher) An Audiobook I enjoyed reading this fourth book in Benedict Brown‘s Marius Quin series because it is well-written, it has humor, it’s a “Cozy,” and the mystery is complicated enough that I don’t know the bad guy right off. This series is written by the same author as the…
BY Hope Callaghan (Author) SKAGWAY SLEUTHS is the second of Hope Callaghan‘s Cruise Ship Director, Millie’s adventures in Alaska. I really enjoy them, having recently cruised the inside passage in Alaska myself. These mysteries depict shipboard life very true to form. It was like being there again as I read this book. Without the mystery, of course!!…
by Benedict Brown (Author), George Blagden (Narrator), Heathdene Books (Publisher) An audiobook review. I believe I’ve read all of Benedict Brown’s Lord Edgington and Christopher books, set in the 1920s in Jolly Olde England. I love the unusual pair, the eccentric posh and fumbling schoolboy combination of murder solving. It’s perfect for any kind of mystery. The older,…
by Jackie One day, in the Costco Pharmacy Department, I saw this little stuffed bear peeking out of a cellophane window in a printed cardboard box. It looked lonesome but patient. From reading the back of the box, I learned that the bear’s soft-looking, round body was stuffed with tiny beads that could be…
