Though I don’t particularly care for the cover, this was a great book. Fans of Blue Balliett’s work will be equally pleased with Berlin’s. Winston Breen is a puzzle enthusiast.

I have been waiting for this book for awhile and was a bit saddened by the contents within its covers. I love the Sherbrooke series, but in this one it felt like Coulter was trying to take the series to another realm. It did not work. The humor of old, the beloved characters we [...]

Ok I admit it, I am not a huge fan of the Libba Bray books. I mean they are ok, but it always takes me so long to get into them…very frustrating. That being said, I was obviously intrigued enough to read all three of them. In the final book in the tale of [...]
