Posted on May 27, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

that I haven’t actually read the first nine novels in this series – my bad. I got so excited about the idea of a mutt mystery that I completely got ahead of myself. Still, I really enjoyed this mystery and had no trouble jumping right on in. Continue reading →

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

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 →

Ford is getting republished by Tor Books and is perfect for all the mystery fans in the house. Continue reading →
