Two book recommendations in one week? Go figure. This one is part of a series that I have enjoyed by Anthony Horowitz. It features a fictional version of himself and a rough former detective Hawthorne. Here is the Goodreads Synopsis: The Word is Murder, the first book in the Hawthorne series, is about to be … Continue reading Book Recommendation – A Deadly Episode

Book Recommendation – Close to Death – Anthony Horowitz
I finally got my hands on a new release by an author I have come to really enjoy - Anthony Horowitz. I stumbled on him because of a couple Sherlock Holmes themed books he wrote. From there, I stumbled on his Hawthorne and Horowitz series. You can read about those a bit here: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2023/03/23/reading-recommendations/ Here … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Close to Death – Anthony Horowitz
Book Recommendation: Wrong Place, Wrong Time
Not too long ago I posted about two books by Anthony Horowitz (Magpie Murders and Moonflower Murders) which were truly unique in that there was a book within a book in each one. The whole idea of a murder mystery connecting with another murder mystery story was such an interesting concept. The stories were very … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Wrong Place, Wrong Time
Book Recommendation: Moonflower Murders
I just finished another of Anthony Horowitz' books and I have come to really enjoy them. This is a follow up to The Magpie Murders, which has a similar premise. It's a book - with a book inside. Does that make sense? It's two murder mysteries for the price of one. Here is the Amazon/Goodreads … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Moonflower Murders
Brief Update

Not too long ago, I read a book called Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz. It led me to read a few of his other books. In this first blog, I wrote about it: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2023/01/22/turning-pages/ I did read his Sherlock Holmes book, which I really enjoyed. Here is the blog about that: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2023/02/02/the-game-is-afoot/ I have come to … Continue reading Reading Recommendations
The Game Is Afoot
Today I finished The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz. It was the Sherlock Holmes novel approved by the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I really enjoyed it. To me, it read much like one of Doyle's Holmes stories. I would imagine that there has to be a bit of pressure for any author … Continue reading The Game Is Afoot
Hodge Podge of Highlights
The past week has been fairly typical. Nothing too out of the ordinary for me. There have been some nice highlights, however. Sunday, we got a little snow. Sam promised the kids that we could go out and play in it. So we all bundled up and went outside as the snow fell. Andrew LOVES … Continue reading Hodge Podge of Highlights
Turning Pages
I often question whether I should post about books I read. Then I remember that more often than not, I only read that book because some blogger I follow posted about it! Now I understand that just because someone praises a book doesn't mean I will enjoy it. If, however, it sounds like something I … Continue reading Turning Pages
