I’ll be home again tomorrow, and I actually have one of my own book reviews posted to run on Monday. In the meantime, I’m grateful for everyone who stepped in while I was on vacation; all of you on Thursday, Kevin Tipple, and, today, Sandie Herron. Sandie’s talking about Linda Castillo’s fourth Kate Burkholder mystery,… Continue reading Sandie’s Corner – Linda Castillo’s Gone Missing

The Suite Spot by Trish Doller
I didn’t read Trish Doller’s first adult novel, Float Plan. That book introduced Rachel Beck’s sister, Anna. Rachel takes center stage in The Suite Spot. Doller’s acknowledgments say she wanted to write something warm and gentle during COVID. She succeeded. But, I’ll admit my reaction to this book will be quite different from many other… Continue reading The Suite Spot by Trish Doller
From Lesa & Sandie’s Corner, Breaking Silence
I’m back home, but not as early as I planned due to a lost day at Laguardia Airport thanks to fog. In other words, I didn’t finish what I intended to do this weekend. Tomorrow, I “hope” to post a little about our trip to New York City. In the meantime, Sandie Herron has a… Continue reading From Lesa & Sandie’s Corner, Breaking Silence

What Are You Reading?
I hope everyone had the chance to read Rosemary Kaye’s “Favorites of 2021” yesterday. As Jeff said, it’s always fun to read about books I haven’t heard of, or don’t know. There was only one book on Rosemary’s list that I’ve read, but I laughed all the way through her comments about that one. You… Continue reading What Are You Reading?
Fallen by Linda Castillo
If Linda Castillo has ever had a weak Kate Burkholder novel, Fallen isn’t it. From the first time Burkholder, police chief in Painters Mill, Ohio, sees the victim’s body, this case strikes a little too close to home. Like Kate, Rachael Schwartz left the Amish community. Rachael hasn’t been part of her Amish family for… Continue reading Fallen by Linda Castillo
An Empty Grave by Andrew Welsh-Huggins
A year or two ago, my sister suggested I try a mystery about a PI who was a former Ohio State quarterback. She hadn’t read any of Andrew Welsh-Huggins’ books, but she saw a synopsis on a list of Ohio authors. I finally had a chance to read the seventh in the Andy Hayes series,… Continue reading An Empty Grave by Andrew Welsh-Huggins
A Simple Murder by Linda Castillo
If you’re expecting the latest Kate Burkholder novel by Linda Castillo, you’re in for a surprise. A Simple Murder is a story collection featuring the police chief in Painters Mill, Ohio. Or maybe I should just say it features Kate Burkholder. One story introduces a fourteen-year-old Kate. I find short stories a refreshing break from… Continue reading A Simple Murder by Linda Castillo
Courting Can Be Killer by Amanda Flower
Fans of Amanda Flower’s Amish Candy Shop mysteries will welcome the second Amish Matchmaker mystery. It’s set in the same community of Harvest, Ohio in Holmes County. Many of the same characters appear in both series. Courting Can Be Killer, the second book in the new series, has an intricate plot. Despite, the murder, though,… Continue reading Courting Can Be Killer by Amanda Flower
Home in Huron
If you showed up expecting Treasures in My Closet for the December books, check back tomorrow. I know it’s not a long list, but I haven’t had time to write the post. I’ve been home in Huron, Ohio visiting my mother for the last time until at least spring. I usually don’t go home in… Continue reading Home in Huron
