A Scottish-Canadian Blethering On About Books
A Kindle freebie. As a mystery, there is nothing much to object to in this story, except perhaps that the Little-Old-Lady heroine is given to taking remarkable physical risks and seems to suffer much less in the way of physical consequences than you might expect. Demure in the Miss Marple vein she i...

Did not enjoy this book at all. The only reason I continued reading the book until the end was that I already had a DNF this month and did not want to add to that category. One day I will not let DNFs affect my reading choices, but today was not that day. The MC, Cate Kincaid, was a sad sack of a ...

I received a free kindle copy of Invisible (Ivy Malone Mysteries #1) by Lorena McCourtney in an Amazon promotion. I gave this terrific cozy mystery five stars from start to finish. It made me laugh heartily many times. It also made me think about aging bringing about a certain form of invisibility.I...

Invisible is a quick cozy mystery read that seems to have reviews all over the map, from one star to five. It is an overtly Christian mystery and the summary on Amazon does not mention this. I'm sure that accounts for some of the review disparity. If you are taking it just as a cozy mystery, it wo...

A good old-fashioned mystery with a LOL protagonist, LOL being Little Old Lady. There were a few LOL (laugh out loud) moments, too. The mystery is not too difficult to follow, the crime is gruesome but not described graphically, and there is no cursing or sex. The potential love interests for our LO...

This story had an interesting concept in that the amateur sleuth is an older woman. Ivy looses her best friend which in my opinion did not help the story. I found that as soon as Thea dies, there is very limited involvement with the other characters. I enjoyed all the characters for the brief time I...

It's a low-key, quiet life. But when her mysterious neighbor disappears, Ivy investigates, and turns up murders, conspi...
