Book Recommendation: Mother-Daughter Murder Night

I've been waiting on this book for sometime and it finally became available. It's another murder mystery and while it was not as good as the last one I posted about, it is good just the same. The book has plenty of suspects who have the motive to murder, and surprisingly, I guessed the killer … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Mother-Daughter Murder Night →

Book Recommendation: The Marlow Murder Club

One of the things I love about Goodreads is how they will take books that you have read and offer suggestions based on them. You may recall that I have read all of the available books in the Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman. This book was suggested based on those. I admit there are similarities, but … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Marlow Murder Club →

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 →

Every year they have a "Best of" list for the various … Continue reading Thoughts on “The Maid” →

I had my … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone →

TV Show Draft – Round 4 – Columbo

Welcome to my fourth round pick in the Hanspostcard TV Draft. Last round I chose Perry Mason, which was the ultimate court room "whodunit!" You never knew who committed the crime until the end of the episode. I thought it appropriate to choose Columbo for this round, because it is almost the exact opposite of … Continue reading TV Show Draft – Round 4 – Columbo →
