Review: Death of a Ghostwriter - A Wye Valley Widows Mystery - Gaynor Torrance - August 2025 When it comes to cozy mysteries, I'll be the first to admit I'm a bit of a mood reader. While I genuinely enjoy the genre, I often find myself frustrated by the leisurely pace that many UK-based cozies embrace—that distinctly British tendency to meander through teatime conversations and village gossip before getting to the meat of the mystery. So when I picked up Gaynor Torrance's "Death of a Ghostwriter," I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. What immediately hooked me were two irresistible elements: the ghostwriter angle (as someone who's always been fascinated by the invisible craft of writing for others) and the absolutely audacious premise that our victim, Albert, managed to juggle not one, not two, but three wives simultaneously. The sheer logistics alone had me turning pages. Albert's elaborate deception is almost admirable in its complexity. For thir...

Review: Black Widows - Cate Quinn - February 2021 As someone who prides themselves on their reading ability, one of the only talents I have had. This month has been a real internal struggle for me as I have found my reading affected by my external situations. This month has been a crazy one for me and I am struggling to read and finish my books. What should have taken me only an hour or two to read is taking multiple days. This is no reflection of the book though. This book was loosely based on the 2008 raid of The Yearning of Zion Way, a cult that was operated by Warren Jeffs as one of the wives - Rachel was part of a cult talked about that was raided when she was a teenager. In Black Widows, we have a dead husband and the murder suspects are one of his three wives - Rachel, Tina, or Emily. Blake has been found dead in the Utah desert with his ring finger cut off. The book then goes through the police investigation as they try to get to the bottom of what happened and then when the s...

Review: Bang Gang - Jade West - September 2016 When I first saw this book, I wanted to read it due to the cover as it is one hot cover and then I was a little wary as really Bang Gang as a title ? It sounded a bit too raunchy for my liking but I decided to put on my big girl panties and give it a read and I am glad I did as I loved it. This is definitely one of those books that is more than the cover/ title as when you read the words Bang Gang, it sounds horrible or like you are in for a full-on sexual book and I have to admit when I saw the words Bang Gang I was thinking along the lines of Trailer Park Virgin by Alexa Riley content but this was not as sexual. In fact, if you minus the few Bang Gang moments, Jade West's book was actually a fun romantic read. One of my favourite characters too would have to be the youngest daughter Ruby aka Rubes -she is so hilarious and makes you laugh the whole way through the book especially with her use of "Garage Words" like ...
