About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

 The Art of Murder (A Dead-End Job Mystery, #15)The Art of Murder by Elaine Viets
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I requested this book from my library as soon as I read it was available because I enjoyed both series of books written by Elaine Viets.
I am pleased to report this book did not disappoint me.
I recommend it to fans of the "Dead-End Job" series. It could be read as a stand-alone for a reader who prefers cozy mysteries.

Journey to Munich (Maisie Dobbs, #12)Journey to Munich by Jacqueline Winspear
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As soon as I read this book had a waiting list at my library, I requested a copy and was already 14th in line for the book. I enjoyed the book so much that I read it in two days.

This is the twelveth book in the Maisie Dobbs series and I do not know of any serial character who has been so many personal difficulties and continues to show growth. Congratulations for Jacqueline Winspear for what must be challenging work to be so well-done. I enjoyed this mystery more than the last book because the tension of the suspense kept me turning pages as fast as I could read. There were still some turns in the plot that bothered me as I did not understand why they were given so many pages in this mystery. Perhaps those small details were set-ups for future books, and I hope there will be more to come.

I recommend this book for fans of the series. If a new-to-the series reader enjoys it, I hope the reader wants to go back and enjoy some of the other books.
