Posted on March 23, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Survive the Night is the latest novel written by Riley Sager (I’ll confess: I have way too many of his books stacked up on my TBR. It’s bad, guys). I grabbed it when it came up on BOTM, because it’s a thriller, and I can’t resist. Continue reading →

Review: Thunderpaws and the Tower of London by Ben Housden and MonoKubo

It was written by Ben Housden, with illustrations from MonoKubo. Continue reading →

Review: Silverview by John le Carre

Posted on March 16, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Silverview by John le Carre came up as one of my Book of the Month options, and I grabbed it without hesitation. It wasn’t until after I started reading that I learned that Silverview is a novel le Carre had been working on over the course of a few years – never quite getting it to the point that he liked. So now I’m feeling a bit conflicted on the matter. Continue reading →

Posted on March 13, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Don’t you just love it when a book gets reprinted? I know I do. It gives me a chance to notice books that I missed the first time around. In this instance, the book in question is actually older than I am, which is always pretty cool. The Scholars of Night by John M. Ford is getting republished by Tor Books and is perfect for all the mystery fans in the house. Continue reading →

Posted on December 11, 2021 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Purrfectly Dead is the fifth novel in Dixie Lyle’s Whiskey, Tango & Foxtrot Mystery (I adore the name of this series!), and as you might imagine, certain critters take center stage.

Yet I had no problem diving right in and following along, so new fans could join in here if they so desire. Continue reading →
