Pencils at the ready: Crossword Puzzles for Brain Fitness

by Aimee Lucido; Matthew Stock

#CrosswordPuzzlesforBrainFitness #NetGalley

It is often said that solving crosswords is good for the brain. That may indeed be so but I also find that solving them is fun. Here is a good collection of puzzles that range in difficulty for easy to tough. I really liked the section at the start of the book that gave some advice on solving.

This title looks like a fun and (sometimes) challenging one. I think that I will buy the hard copy so that I can solve them.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Zeitgeist for this title. All opinions are my own.

Murder by the Seashore (Samantha Yew)

#MurderbytheSeashore #NetGalley

Crooked Lane Books publishes so many enjoyable traditional murder mysteries of which this is one. This time the story centers on a young woman who is opening a bookshop; in my opinion, the best kind of store. It should be part of a dream job in process except:

Scarlett’s boyfriend is no longer part of her life.

She finds a body.

She is left some money and…

could be a suspect and

this may just complicate things.

Here is a good story, a good setting, good characters and a bookstore. What more could traditional fans want? This is one to enjoy.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for this title. All opinions are my own.
