Review: Marple - Twelve New Stories - Anthology - Various Authors - September 2022


In the realm of classic detective fiction, Agatha Christie's Miss Marple stands as an enduring icon, captivating readers for generations with her keen intellect and unassuming demeanor. Now, in a delightful homage to the Queen of Mystery, twelve remarkable authors come together in a brand-new collection of short stories, each featuring the legendary sleuth, Jane Marple.

As a fan of Agatha Christie's work, I found this collection to be an absolute delight. From the moment I cracked open the book on my bus journey from Auckland, I was transported into a world of intrigue and suspense. Purchased from Mighty Ape New Zealand, it proved to be the perfect companion for a leisurely commute.

What sets this anthology apart is the diverse array of voices that reimagine Miss Marple through their own unique perspectives while honoring the timeless essence of Agatha Christie's original creation. From the atmospheric storytelling of Lucy Foley to the gripping suspense of Karen M. McManus, each author brings their own flair to the table, resulting in a rich tapestry of mysteries that will keep readers guessing until the very end.

Miss Marple's first appearance dates back to 1927, and yet, her appeal remains as strong as ever. With forty-five years having passed since Agatha Christie's last Marple novel, "Sleeping Murder," was published, this collection serves as a timely reminder of why the elderly spinster from St. Mary Mead continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

For fans of Agatha Christie and her Miss Marple series, this anthology is a must-read. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or new to the world of amateur sleuthing, these twelve ingenious stories are sure to entertain and enthrall. So curl up with a cup of tea, settle into your favorite armchair, and prepare to be whisked away on a journey into the heart of mystery with the incomparable Jane Marple.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
