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 – Bookish People
I cannot begin to tell you how much I needed a good book. I felt that the last few I read were serious and/or deep. I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up "Bookish People" at the library, but It was just what I needed. Here is the Goodreads synopsis: A perfect storm … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Bookish People
Book Recommendation: The Mysterious Mrs. White
This may not be of interest to readers outside of Michigan, but for me this happened right down the road..... This was one of those books that I found fascinating. Here is the Goodreads synopsis: Over a century ago, the tranquil town of Fenton, Michigan was plunged into turmoil by the bewildering presence of four … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Mysterious Mrs. White
Book Recommendation: Five Minutes, Mr. Byner
I've always thought John Byner was hilarious. He was an awesome impressionist, who nailed voices like John Wayne, Jackie Mason, Dean Martin, Ed Sullivan and many more. He was a guest star on many shows throughout the 70's and 80's, but I first came to know him as The Ant and the Aardvark - doing … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Five Minutes, Mr. Byner
Book Recommendation – Caller Unknown
Wrong Place, Wrong Time was one of the best books I read in 2023. So I was excited to get into Gillian McAllister's Caller Unknown. Before I go into my thoughts, here is the Amazon synopsis: How far would you go to rescue your child? A mother races against the clock—and finds herself on the … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Caller Unknown
Book Recommendation – Everyone In This Bank Is A Thief
I finally had the chance to read the fourth Ernest Cunningham novel from Benjamin Stevenson. His other books, in order, were: Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone, Everyone on This Train is a Suspect, and Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret. By clicking on each title you can read my thoughts on each one. … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Everyone In This Bank Is A Thief
Book Recommendation – Voice-a-Versa
I have often heard it said that people who wind up doing comedy almost always come from a troubled past. I had no idea of just how dark Billy West's past was. Billy is one of the most talented voice over actors in the business. This is one of the most honest biographies I have … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Voice-a-Versa
Book Recommendation – Crooks
As an Italian, I couldn't help but pick this book up because of the title. Crooks: A Novel About Crime and Family by Lou Berney was actually one that I listened to in the car. I have to say that whoever narrated it did a great job. His pacing and inflection conveyed exactly what was … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Crooks
Book Recommendation – The Last Letters of Sally and Walter
I must be getting old. I recently finished The Last Letters of Sally and Walter by Cammie McGovern. I picked this up at the library because I guess I thought that it was about two people writing letters to each other. I never really noticed the cover design and was oblivious that it is designed … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Last Letters of Sally and Walter
Book Recommendation – The Book of Doors
"The Book of ...." It is probably a coincidence that the last couple books I have read have titles that start with those three words. While today's book is similar to The Book of Lost Hours, The Book of Doors was one that read like a cool sci-fi movie. Here is the Goodreads synopsis: If … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Book of Doors
