You may have noticed that I didn’t post last Monday. That’s because I was at Disney World the entire previous week, and consequently did exactly zero reading.
Read
Smoke and Mirrors by Elly Griffiths (audiobook / library)
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
The sheer number of red herrings is astonishing! Max is rather wasted in this story, and the introduction of numerous new characters is distracting, but I still enjoyed it.
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch (eBook / library)
My rating: 2.5 of 5 stars
Meh. The story is completely plot driven, and even though there are multiple versions of several main characters, I never felt like I really *knew* the characters or cared about them at all.
Going, Going, Ganache by Jenn McKinlay (audiobook / library)
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I love the characters (especially Oz and Marty) and the mystery was decent, but the romance is eye-roll inducing.
The Decorator Who Knew Too Much by Diane Vallere (audiobook / library)
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I did *not* like the short chapters from Tex’s POV – it’s such a departure for the series. Also, how have I not noticed the correlation between Hudson James and Rock Hudson🤦🏻♀️ The mystery was solid, but the romance was all over the place. I’m getting sick of that trope in Cozies. 🙄
