The Man Next Door by Sheila Roberts delivers a cozy standalone fiction mixed with family, neighbors and new begins. Find out what happens when Zona moves back in with her mom as the two navigate changes and spy on the hot neighbor next door. Did he kill his girlfriend?
It was so good to be back with the Thursday Murder Club, and The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman was filled with murder, puzzles, and twists. The gang is all back, and this time we’ve got a little help in unexpected places. Check out my thoughts on the audiobook narrated by Fiona Shaw.
I’ve read several books about the Magdalene laundries and immediately requested Wayward Girls by Susan Wiggs. She did not disappoint. Set in 1960s Buffalo, N.Y. Wiggs transports us into the lives of six teens who find themselves at the Good Shepherd, run by the Sisters of Charity nuns. Narrated by Jane Oppenheimer & Cynthia Farrell, it’s a story of survival, friendship, and redemption.
Admittedly, I grabbed Murder on Friday Street by Russell Cooper because it was recommended for fans of Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series. I was NOT disappointed. Narrated by Bronwen Price, I instantly fell in love with brothers Cedric and Ambrose, retired MI6 agents, and Charlie, their dead friend’s daughter. You’ll want to grab your earbuds for this gem!
