Three very short reviews of three middle grade books that I read in the last couple of weeks. Two are fiction and one is nonfiction. The First State of Being is wonderful historical science fiction story about Y2K. The Bletchley Riddle is set during WWII and it is about two siblings searching for their mother. Loch Ness Uncovered is about the Loch Ness Monster and how the story began and the evidence of the hoaxes that have perpetuated over the years.
A review for the newest murder mystery thriller by Ashley Winstead. This Book Will Bury Me is an interesting look at how the online true crime community of amateur detectives can at times help but also harm a murder investigation.
A review for the audiobook version of the second book in the Holmes, Marple & Poe series by James Patterson and Brian Sitts. This is a fast paced thriller about stolen infants and children and the race to save them from a fate worse than death.
A review for the middle grade audiobook by Matt Eicheldinger. Matt Sprouts and the Curse of the Tem Broken Toes is a heartwarming story of a sixth grader who comes under a curse to break all of his toes. Barret Leddy does an awesome job with the narration, sounding just like a twelve year old learning to navigate life in middle school.
A review for the fourth book in a cozy British mystery series by J.M. Hall. A Brush with Death is about three retired school teachers who look into the suspicious death of a colleague’s ex husband. Was there more to this death than a simple heart attack?
A review for a cozy mystery with a supernatural twist. I listened to the audiobook and thought it was well done. The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society by C.M Waggoner is a fun story with lots of great characters and it pokes some fun at the small town cozy mystery genre.
