Hooray for more Emmy: Mrs Porter Calling

by AJ Pearce

#MrsPorterCalling #NetGalley

Dear Mrs. Bird, the first novel that I read by this author, was a true favorite of mine as was her second novel, Yours Cheerfully. How thrilling to know that there will be another book about Emmy published soon. Even without the the benefit of this enjoyable sample, I would want to read this novel.

A J Pearce tells her stories with a light touch but one that also encompasses the difficulties of her characters and the world that they live in. Readers will root for Emmy and her friends as potential changes come to Women’s Friend. I will be marking my calendar for this title’s May 2023 release.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for this sample. All opinions are my own.

What could lead to: The Death of Her

by Debbie Howells

This is a thriller set in Cornwall. A woman has been attacked and left for dead. Who is she? What happened here and why? What follows is a rather tricky story that includes a plot about lost children.

Those who enjoy tricky novels that include lost (forever?) memories may want to give this one a look.

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

Beware around the: Hanging Falls

A Timber Creek K-9 Mystery

by Margaret Mizushima

#HangingFalls #NetGalley

Crooked Lane Press publishes so many good mysteries including this one. Here is book six in a series that will be enjoyed by mystery lovers and those who like dogs and strong women.

This entry in the Colorado based series finds troubled waters and worse. There is, of course, murder and both some favorite old characters and complicated new ones. All in all, this is a good read. Note though that some reviewers feel the series should be read in order.

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