A friend of ours is always good about sharing books that she enjoyed with my wife and I. My wife actually read this one first, and I was able to read it this week. I went into this book only knowing the title and that it had a "true crime" aspect to it. The Book … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Book of Cold Cases

Book Recommendation – The Radio Ghost
I was between books recently and the ones I was waiting for were still unavailable. So I searched for something quick to tide me over until my next read. As a radio guy, you know that the cover of this one made me stop and check it out. I'm not sure how many pages the … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Radio Ghost
Book Recommendation – Viviana Valentine Gets Her Man
One of the hardest things about using my library's Libby App is the occasional wait. This was the case recently as I had finished one book and was waiting for another. When this happens, I usually go to the other Library App (Hoopla). It is there that I will grab something short to read until … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Viviana Valentine Gets Her Man
Book Recommendation – We Solve Murders
It seems like it has been awhile since I recommended a book to you. This is not because I stopped reading, it is because I was working on features like Share Your Nostalgia or just didn't have an open spot to post it. So today is as good as any day to post this, despite … Continue reading Book Recommendation – We Solve Murders
Book Recommendation: The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip

If you go back through some of the books I've read in the past year, … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip
Book Recommendation – Swing by Rupert Holmes
Earlier in the year I read a book by Rupert Holmes called Murder Your Employer. I blogged about it here: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2023/07/06/book-recommendation-murder-your-employer-rupert-holmes/ That book was good enough that I wanted to read more by him. I knew him as a singer, but not as a novelist. I came across a book entitled Swing. As someone who … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Swing by Rupert Holmes
Book Recommendation – End of Story by AJ Finn
As you know, I love a good mystery. I also love a mystery with a great "I didn't see that coming" moment. My latest read had both, and when the "I didn't see that coming moment" came I was truly floored. Here is the Goodreads synopsis: “I’ll be dead in three months. Come tell my … Continue reading Book Recommendation – End of Story by AJ Finn
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: How to Solve Your Own Murder
Back in the day, there was an old radio show called I Love a Mystery. It's no secret that I do, too. A mystery can take many forms - the cozy mystery, the whodunnit, the locked room mystery, courtroom mystery, etc ... I just finished a book that has many of the things I love … Continue reading Book Recommendation: How to Solve Your Own Murder
Book Recommendation: The Mystery Guest
Here I am again with a book that has a recurring character in a series. I read Nita Prose's book The Maid awhile back. It was one of those that kept popping up on my friend's list of books to read. I picked it up and read it in just a couple days. You can read my initial thoughts … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Mystery Guest
