Predictable but sweet. Similar to Only Murders-average citizens figuring out a local murder and nudging the cops along the way. Took awhile to get used to the writer’s language style.

#14 in the Lady Emily Mystery Series. The author takes the reader to Pompeii in 1902. A mysterious death takes the main character, Lady Emily, to the ruins of Pompeii. A murder has taken place and Lady Emily sets out to find the culprit in spite of threats to her person. A parallel mystery also takes place in AD 79 just prior to the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. The author ties both story lines together at the end of the book.

book cover


Emotional novel set in Ireland dealing with complex family relationships and the hypocrisy of social "norms" and "values." The novel is based on a controversial case in 1990s Ireland in which a 14-year-old girl becomes pregnant with her father's child. Events spiral out of control as opposing factions seek to control this girl's destiny. Per the publisher: "O'Brien has crafted a novel that contains the sweep of women's history that led to the case and continues beyond it. (The novel) is an unforgettable portrait of girlhood, loneliness, and our deepest humanity."

I love reading these again, these were my favorite books when I was younger!! They hold up surprisingly well too, I thought for sure I’d be able to poke more holes in it. While I’ve certainly aged out of making this book age appropriate, I loved it all the same.

Genuine Fraud
by E. Lockhart

Fascinating idea, but at times it felt a bit over the top comic book action and heightened imagination of what really took place than the reality... Or maybe that was how it was meant to be. Loved the structure of the book, playing with the timeline. I gobbled it up so quickly and just wanted to know more and more until I got to the end. The ending was a bit abrupt, but it seemed to make sense that there wasn't much else to do than end it.
