“Beach Thriller” by Jamie Day
“Beach Thriller” is the third book by Jamie Day that I have read, and the third he has published. He’s one of those authors I know I’ll enjoy reading for one simple reason: at some point, I got really interested in what was going to happen. This is a perfect book to read on vacation,…

“The Bookseller” by Tim Sullivan
I discovered Tim Sullivan’s detective Cross series a few months ago, and since then, I’ve been steadily moving through those books. “The Bookseller” is probably one of my favorites: this time, DS Cross from the Bristol police solves the murder of a bookseller. The man seemed quiet, owning a small independent bookstore specializing in hard-to-get…

“The Land and Its People” by David Sedaris
I read a few collections of essays by David Sedaris, as well as his “Diaries”, which made me think why I don’t have a diary? Maybe the thought of putting something in my diary would make me want to do more interesting, everyday things? “The Land and Its People” is one of those books that…

“The Teacher” by Tim Sullivan
“The Teacher” by Tim Sullivan is the sixth book in the DS George Cross series. I already read four other books featuring Cross, and it’s easy to say that he is one of my favorite detectives.

“The Murder at World’s End” by Ross Montgomery
It’s May 1910, and the Haley Comet is once again passing close enough to Earth to be visible with the naked eye. And once again, some take it as an engaging scientific experience, while others prepare for the end of the world. At the small tidal island off the Cornish coastline, Lord Stockingham-Welt is busy…

“My Husband’s Wife” by Alice Feeney
„My Husband’s Wife” is my first book by Alice Feeney, who is often called the ‘Queen of Twists’, and after listening to her latest audiobook, I think this title is well-deserved. This book is very engaging, with chapters told from different perspectives. It starts when Eden Fox goes for a morning run by the sea.…
