Death and the Librarian (Blue Ridge Library Mysteries #9) by Victoria Gilbert

It contains spoilers:

This is a well-structured cozy mystery set in a picturesque town called Taylorsford, in Virginia, USA. 

It has all the expected elements of the genre. However, I must point out that this is the ninth installment in the series, and it shows. The book assumes that readers are already familiar with the characters and are emotionally invested in them, something new readers may lack.

As a newcomer, the characters and their inner relationships, although understandable, felt a bit challenging to me, although I imagine that fans who’ve followed this series from the start may feel differently.

Amy, the protagonist, is the co-director of the local library, and also a mother of twins and the wife of a professional dancer. When someone dies during the local summer arts festival, the local police officer, Brad, asks Amy for help with some research in the library archives. This eventually pulls her into an investigation that escalates into dangerous situations. 

And that’s where I struggled: what drives her to take such risks?

Publication date: Jul 08 2025
Editorial: Crooked Lane Books


I didn’t fully understand her real motivation. Why is she so committed to finding the truth, even when it puts herself and her loved ones at risk?

The lack of a clear motivation behind Amy’s perseverance makes her decisions feel a bit unreasonable and in need of a stronger justification within her narrative. 

I couldn’t help but wonder: do other readers forgive the character’s flaws simply because they’ve known her longer and have a better understanding of her? Perhaps there is some context in previous books that is just assumed in this one?

Additionally, I also found it hard to believe that a police officer would continue involving a civilian in an active investigation, especially after she’s threatened. It didn’t feel plausible—neither as a professional nor as her friend.

That being said, the mystery itself is solid, and the final twists genuinely surprised me, although by too much overexposition that would have been nicer to let Amy uncover by herself.

The presence of cats adds a lovely touch of humor—clearly written by someone who puts up with their attitude on a daily basis.

In summary, it’s a good cozy mystery with a satisfying plot, but I’d recommend starting earlier in the series to build that much-needed emotional connection with the characters.

Grave Words (A Deadly Deadlines Mystery #2) by Gerri Lewis

What about a murder story where the first person to die is you?

Here you are, you're welcome!

Publication date: June 10th, 2025
Publisher: Crooked Lane Books


Such a cool way to introduce our character, Winter Snow, her job as an obituary writer and the first people in her entourage.

I must say that I was hooked from the first line—I really loved this book!

Although I had already read the first installment, I thoroughly enjoyed this second adventure. The characters are well introduced, and their relationships develop in a way that you can feel what Winter Snow is going through and how she struggles.

I enjoyed watching the police officers do their job professionally, without divulging information about an ongoing investigation, even though Winter and Kip are a newly formed couple. 

I liked how her role as an obituary writer forces her to find alternative ways to gather clues and solve the different mysteries in order to complete her job, rather than just acting like an amateur sleuth.


Also, the writing was a delight, something that's often lacking in this kind of novel.


Thank you #CrookedLaneBooks and #Netgally for this for this discovery. And of course, to #GerriLewis for writing so beautifully.

Boney Creek by Paula Gleeson

 I'm between 3 and 4 stars...

This is spooky enough to leave you wanting more.

Addie and Toby are moving to a small town where 7 deaths have occurred in the past 4 months. The town itself has the feel of a forgotten place and hiden secrets in every corner.

The premise is pretty good. Soon enough, Toby, the husband, introduces a new subplot, as does Addie, the wife, who is trying to face the consequences of a previous mistake.

Publication date: June 3rd, 2025
Publisher: Thomas & Mercer


The past is doled out in small doses that compel you to continue reading, and the murder cases are meaningful enough to make you care about what happened.


In the middle, the pacing slows down, as is often the case with this kind of story, but it is interesting nonetheless, and I truly enjoyed it.
However, there are some resolutions I was not happy with, as Toby’s story is not resolved in a tangible way, and Addie’s secret is dealt with too quickly–for all the pain she has suffered because of it, it felt unfulfilling.

As someone who is not a big fan of spooky towns and scary stories, I liked it much more than I thought I would. It was fun experience.


Thank you to #Thomas&Mercer and #NetGalley for the opportunity to read this #ARC called #BoneyCreek in exchange for my personal opinion.

La Última noche en Tremore Beach de Mikel Santiago

Abrí el libro con unas expectativas muy altas y quizás esto haya jugado en mi contra. 

Peter Harper, un compositor de renombre que, tras su divorcio pierde a su musa, decide aislarse en una casita en la costa irlandesa con el propósito de reencontrarse consigo mismo y recuperar la inspiración. 

Su amistad con los únicos vecinos de la apartada playa y la visita de sus hijos se entrelazan con sus propios miedos, intensificados por su creencia de tener lo que su madre identificaba como visiones. Este don paranormal, potenciado tras el impacto de un rayo que le atraviesa durante una tormenta, acentúa su distorsión de la realidad.

La parte paranormal me ha sacado un poco de la historia, ya que me dejaba con la sensación extraña: no sabía si el autor me estaba engañando o no. 

Y la gran pregunta: ¿eso es bueno o malo? Ya sabemos que a los autores les gusta jugar con la mente de sus lectores, pero ¿hasta qué punto me gusta que se metan en mi cerebro siendo yo consciente de ello? ¿Es un juego en el que el escritor ha creado una obra maestra o, por el contrario, ha sido un total fracaso, al darme yo cuenta?

Me he encontrado varias veces divagando a lo largo de la historia sobre cómo terminaría esta aventura. La verdad es que, de todas las rutas que pudiera imaginarme, el final me ha resultado muy satisfactorio.

Es una novela lenta y ágil al mismo tiempo, no sé bien cómo explicarlo; no obstante, como experiencia que explora la sensación de no ser dueño de uno mismo ni de la realidad que te rodea, ha sido impresionante. Eso sí.

Llamada perdida (Harry Bosch Universe, #12) by Michael Connelly

No sé por dónde empezar (y aunque hoy sea 28 de diciembre, ¡no es una broma!).

La verdad es que esta entrega no me ha gustado mucho, así que me voy a permitir la licencia de darle un suspenso. Mal que me pese, porque, como ya sabéis todas las personas que me conocéis o habéis leído otros posts, me encanta este autor, siendo uno de mis autores favoritos de novela negra y policíaca en el ámbito internacional.

Me gustan muchísimo las novelas de Michael Connelly: sus tramas, sus protagonistas e incluso la mayoría de las versiones que se han hecho para la televisión. He seguido con entusiasmo tanto la película sobre Mickey Haller llamada “El inocente” (“The Lincoln Lawyer” en versión original en inglés) y su serie de “El Abogado del Lincoln” en Netflix, como las series de “Bosch” y “Bosch: Legacy” en Amazon Prime; aunque no me gustó en absoluto el largometraje “Deuda de sangre” (Blood Work, en inglés), protagonizado por Clint Eastwood, lo que me pareció increíble ya que el libro es ¡¡¡buenísimo!!! 

Sin embargo, esta novela llamada “Llamada perdida”, o en inglés “Chasing the dime”, no me ha gustado nada. No es la única que no me ha enganchado, ya que hay otra ambientada en Las Vegas que tampoco me llenó, pero en el caso de “Llamada perdida” ha sido un verdadero desafío, habiéndola dejado y retomado varias veces, con gran esfuerzo por continuarla y, aun así, la he finalizado por compromiso, por ser de quién es.


Fotografía original de iswid_books

El protagonista, Henry Pierce, no me ha caído bien, el detective tampoco, ni ninguno de los amigos; tampoco el interés romántico de la historia ni la única persona con dos dedos de frente: la secretaria (algo muy al hilo de lo poco bien que se le daban los personajes femeninos a Connelly en esta época).

La historia de la infancia de Pierce, sin más, muy surrealista, en el sentido de que que no tiene mucha relación con el resto de su vida, sino que funciona como justificación para hacer lo que hace de la forma tan poco racional como la ejecuta; la ciencia bien, eso sí me ha resultado interesante por su potencial, desde la base de que no tengo ni idea de qué habla, por lo tanto me considero muy impresionable en ese aspecto. En cambio, la trama de la prostituta desaparecida/asesinada y, que es el hilo conductor central a investigar, no me ha parecido que tuviera un enfoque nada atractivo en su relación (o falta de ella) con el protagonista.

Debo admitir que la trama, en esencia, tiene potencial, pero su importancia no se refleja hasta el último 10% del libro. Hasta ese punto, es lento y pesado. Más que carente de dirección, carece de sentido: ni desde la perspectiva de una persona corriente ni desde la supuesta mentalidad científica que debiera tener el protagonista (que se activa exactamente 2 veces en más de 300 páginas). 

El desarrollo narrativo no me ha llamado la atención. Si el libro completo hubiese sido como el último 10-20% estoy segura de que mi opinión hubiera sido bien distinta, pero el camino me ha parecido tedioso hasta llegar al punto mental que necesitaba el protagonista para reaccionar, y luego todo ocurre precipitadamente para llegar a su final. Recuerdo estar leyendo casi al final, y encontrar la historia tan verde, que llegué a preguntarme: “pero si no quedan casi páginas y no hemos descubierto nada, ¿cómo va a salir de ésta?”. Pues, efectivamente, con una sobreexposición con trasfondo poco creíble; ¿y la motivación “del malo”? ¡Venga ya! Una tomadura de pelo, con la única meta de darle un final a este sinsentido. No es espóiler, porque sé que no te lo vas a leer ☺

Por último, indicar que lo han encajado como parte del Universo Harry Bosch porque transcurre en L.A. y hay un supuesto asesinato, pero poca relación más tiene. Ni siquiera el detective, un tal Renner, aparece en ningún libro de Harry Bosch donde tenga contacto con otros detectives del departamento. O al menos, hasta donde yo sé, no he sido capaz de encontrar otra unión. Si la conocéis, me lo ponéis en comentarios.

Cita: “El aire olía a una desagradable mezcla de incienso y algo más que Pierce le costaba situar. Era como el aire viciado de una nevera que se ha apagado. Estaba allí, pero quedaba enmascarado por el incienso que se aferraba a la habitación como un fantasma.”

A Hired Kill (Garrett Mann #2) by Steven Konkoly

First, I would like to thank the Thomas & Mercer publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC version of #AhiredKill in the Garrett Mann saga in exchange for this review, which is completely personal and freely offered.


This is a fast-paced, action-filled adventure featuring Garrett Mann as the leader of a mismatched team of not very rule-abiding FBI agents and Mexican ex-different-forces that find themselves involved in a plot much bigger than they initially expected.

This is the continuity of the previous book in the saga, A Clean Kill. Having not read the first one, I was thrown into the dynamics of a group of characters with many names that were initially hard to keep track of. However, some of them grow on you as you turn the pages.

It really is an action thriller, with a little heart that I would have liked it a bit more explored. What I liked the most is the delicate balance Mann and Serrano had to maintain. They had mutual respect and admiration, but duty intertwined with the pact they had made, and they had to dance around that sense of betrayal that strains their relationship.

Apart from Mann and Serrano, there were a few characters that I really liked, such as James or Gupta, they had something special that ticked. I really liked how James casually pretended not to hear the news. The group's playful ways of teasing Gupta, when he doesn’t catch on to sarcasm. These moments are what make the characters both likable and memorable. And when there are so many, this is important.

There were other personal plots that weren't developed enough. It's hinted that Serrano and Mann had feelings for each other, but then... there's no follow-up on that. The ending also felt a little bit incomplete. I don't want to spoil the very end, but there aren't enough clues to tell if that's the conclusion or if there will be a sequel. I would have appreciated more hints leaning toward the latter.


Expected publication date:   

Overall, it was a well-paced action thriller. Quite entertaining. However, I highly suggest reading them in order, starting with A Clean Kill.

Murder in an English Castle (A Flora Steele Mystery Book #10) by Merryn Allingham

In general, I liked it, but since I joined the saga in this 10th installment, I was a bit lost at first. The initial chapters were quite full of names I wasn't familiar with, and the relationships among them made it challenging to keep track. As a consequence, I almost set the book aside. However, since I received it from the publisher in exchange for a review, I decided to continue reading.

I was hooked the moment the couple visit Alex’s mother and Jack and Morton quarrelled...



Thanks to the prologue, we know it’s set in 1959 because all the rest seems to take place in later decade, but without mobile phones. In general, the setting feels like an old-fashioned area trying to uphold the neighborly ways of previous generations like The Good Witch’s Middletown, Stars Hollow or similar endearing locations. The thing that took me back in time and made me laugh was the college's night porter's behavior over the night calls. There are several moments like these that gave the story a pull and were highly enjoyable.

As a couple, Jack and Flora didn’t have much chemistry in this book. I wonder if this relies on previous books where they meet and develop some kind of romance, but I am not entirely sure. I missed something more between them, a complicity, a loving touch further than a kiss on the cheek... They’re newly-weds!

Meddlesome Money (Cozy Corgi Mysteries #13) by Mildred Abbott

Not the best in the series, it promised much more detecting than we finally got. 

Good back story, but I expected more from Fred.

No voy a hacer una crítica de cada entrega de la saga, ya que son casi 40 las que están ya publicadas. No obstante, me he propuesto que, si no os parece mal, de aquí en adelante escribiré sobre aquellas aventuras que me hayan parecido especialmente buenas. 

Eso sí, sin menospreciar el resto de entregas, ya que son todas muy entretenidas. Lecturas "galleta", de las que empiezas por una y no paras hasta que no puedes más... 

Habiendo leído más cozy mystery desde que empecé esta saga, debo decir que es de las que más me gustan, así que si no sabes por cuál empezar, te invito a la primera galleta.

Traitorous Toys (Cozy Corgi Mysteries #2) by Mildred Abbott

El segundo de la saga, un pelín menos sorprendente ya que usa la misma estructura que el anterior y es algo más predecible, pero es muy entretenido y fácil de leer.

Bajo la premisa de ¿hay peor regalo que encontrar un cadáver en plenas Navidades?

Secretos, secretos y secretos. Fred y Watson deberán abrir cada cajita escondida para descubrir la verdad y meterse de cabeza, de nuevo, en otra peligrosa aventura con final.... ¿feliz?

¡Descúbrelo tú misma o tu mismo! No me digas que estos ojitos no te piden tener esta portada entre las manos...


Se trata de una lectura rápida, un cozy mystery con entregas cada 4-6 meses siguiendo la vida de este dúo que deberá encontrar el equilibrio entre el trabajo en la librería de sus sueños, volver a creer en el amor y la amistad tras varios varapalos anteriores, y desenmascarar a quienes osen irrumpir en la paz de su querido Estes park, entorno y familia. Nada nuevo, ¡pero muy enganchante!

The Sixth Wicked Child (4MK Thriller #3) by J. D. Barker

El mejor de los tres, para culminar la saga. Hacía mucho que un libro no me hacía sentir tan contrariada, un wtf cada vez que pasas de página... Le doy 5 estrellas porque no hay 6.

The best of the three installments to culminate the saga. It's been a long time since a book made me feel so upset, a wtf every time you turn the page... I gave it 5 stars because I couldn't give it 6.




This is a new challenge for Detective Sam Porter: new murders linked to the 4MK killer are discovered, connected to long-term missing child. The investigation unravels a dark past of family secrets and childhood traumas. Also Porter is haunted by his previous encounters with the 4MK.

The Drop (Harry Bosch, #15; Harry Bosch Universe, #24) by Michael Connelly

Me ha dejado sentimientos encontrados entre las historias tras los dos casos que investigan y el ya un poco demasiado estirado complejo del hombre solo contra el mundo. 

En este libro en concreto, si no fuera por su relación con Mads, me hubiera resultado extremadamente egoísta, rozando lo absurdo. Luego remonta.

Cruel Candy (Cozy Corgi Mysteries, #1) by Mildred Abbott

Ridículamente fácil de leer, generando ganas de tornar la página con cada paso que da Fred por su nueva vida en un pequeño pueblo tras divorciarse y que su mejor amiga le deje en la estocada tras jugársela con el negocio que tenían juntas.

¡Lo que no me esperaba es que fuera una saga que fuera ya por el nº 25! 
No he tardado en coger el segundo...

The Breaker (The Shattered Bones) by David A. Santana


I'll start by stating that... I absolutely loved this ride! The wide range of feelings in this book is abysmal, it has been a complete rollercoaster.




You change from pity to hate, to comprehension and love, once and again. You feel the tension and the internal discussions; you doubt alongside the main character (yes, the serial killer!) and sometimes even approve of his choice (yes, *that* choice, even you'd never do it in real life, of course)... Most times, both his doubts and his statements appeal to your core.

The flashbacks are very well intertwined with the "present" (2017), and I especially liked the jumping forward from one period of his youth to another. I felt the warmth of his family, his love for them. I really appreciated the backstories and was eager for those chapters.



I thought of the FBI agent's first chapter as an intrusion, as the novel was quite advanced and felt out-of-the-blue; it had nothing to do with the rest of the story. But next time he reappeared, I was ready and also enjoyed them.

I loved every page, I'll be waiting for the next one. Yes, there will be another one, as the final cliffhanger is spectacular. As a reader who usually gets plot twists easily, I thought I knew when their ways were going to cross but... nope! It was much better and unexpected.

And I loved that it was only hinted at, not explained like the reader is stupid. We are not. Thank you.


I totally recommend it!

Suicide Run: Three Harry Bosch Stories (Harry Bosch, #14.6; Harry Bosch Universe, #23.1) by Michael Connelly

Estas tres historias cortas son la esencia de Harry Bosch en formato lectura rápida, pero no coinciden exactamente con el número 21.1 del universo ya que son anteriores. No obstante, realmente consiguen ligar las tramas anteriores.


Hago uso del comentario de Jim en Goodreads, el orden sería el siguiente:


***10.5 Cielo Azul- Me ha encantado por conseguir por fin la verdadera historia del nombre de Cielo Azul, pero al haber pasado tanto tiempo desde leer los libreo de Terry McCaleb, no era consciente de que hubieran trabajado en ella juntos.


***11.6 Suicide Run- Bosch y Edgar de nuevo juntos. Como siempre, Bosch tomando las riendas viendo un asesinato donde Edgar solo ve un suicidio para poder terminar su turno e irse a casa (¡pero si solo les quedaban 15 minutos!). Bosch en estado puro.


***17.6 One Dollar Jackpot- El asesinato de una genio del poker toca la fibra sensible de Bosch en recuerdo a su exmujer. De ahí el no tirar la toalla hasta dar con quien ha evitado que una mujer pueda llegar al top de su juego.

The Fourth Monkey (4MK Thriller #1) by J.D. Barker

A serial killer dies after a bus accident while transporting a victim. But is it really him?

Detective Porter investigates the case, uncovering the killer's traumatic past and his connections to the chosen victims. 

The narrative explores the psychological complexities of both the killer and the detective, exploring the nature of evil in a very intriguing, exiting manner.

A real page-turner that will leave you wanting to acquire the next installment asap.

The Night Fire (Renée Ballard #3, Bosch universe #33) by Michael Connelly

Here you can listen to the audiobook by Michael Connelly and narrated by: Christine Lakin and Titus Welliver (who plays Harry Bosch in the Amazon TV-series).


I loved it, I really missed the kind of story that keeps you awake until the end, to be back to the thrills that I didn't have many books before.

The addition of Ballard to the series is a success in my opinion.


The idea of having several cases, one of Bosch's , one of Ballard's and a third one in common, gives the story a speed and spin that keeps you reading.
Nevertheless, it is also a bit of a headache to keep track of everything, but Connelly has always had a clever way to introduce a summary every now and then that doesn't sound like overexposure.


***Spoilers below***

The only thing I found quite unbelievable is how their personal cases were linked, kind of too far-fetched, but it worked in the end, so...

I'm also happy to discover that the work relationship between them both is so good. The ones before her, made Bosch look like an idiot. He treats her like a father, very protective (you need to sleep, don't go alone .. when that's all he does, and has always done).

I'd also like to see more of his daughter... That's just a wish.


If you lost faith in the saga, just jump to this and the previous Ballard books, and recover it!

Witch Slap (The Hollowbeck Paranormal Cozy Mysteries #1 ) by Amelia Ash and Kim M. Watt


This is a cozy mystery with a magic touch.
 



We start jumping into a car conversation. I love this kind of beginning—poking into the characters' lives in such a private moment as an argument is. As an outsider, feeling a bit lost at first, but getting to understand their dynamics.

In this particular case, the couple is a sister and her brother. Their relationship is not ideal, but one calls for help, the other one jumps—that's the thing about siblings, right?

Following their footsteps into a magic village (the brother knows it, although the sister doesn't), they get right into a murder scene!

From that moment on, the pace slows down. I think it tries to be intriguing about what kind of being each new character is, as the sister is oblivious to everything, but as a fantasy reader, it's easy to figure out, and it felt a little bit dull.

It was an easy and interesting read, though. I enjoyed the path to discovery, but most of all I enjoyed the development of the siblings' relationship.

So... 

Would you like to be turned into a cat?

La Colina del Cuervo de Ager Aguirre

Comenzamos con los lunes de autores nacionales, con Ager Aguirre.

La Colina del Cuervo es una historia muy enganchante. Me ha gustado la forma de escribir de Ager Aguirre, las descripciones, el ritmo... Le quito una estrella porque sabía quién era el/la asesin@ desde más o menos el 40% del libro... 

También me hubiera gustado que el dúo detective/escritora hubiera tenido más parte activa en la consecución de pistas. 

Me ha parecido mejor historia la de Gálvez que la de Parker para ser sincera, ha descubierto más cosas y deducido mejor los movimientos de sus oponentes. Parker en cambio ni lo ha visto venir hasta que, literalmente, le han quitado la venda de los ojos...

Advertencia razonable - original title: Fair Warning (Jack McEvoy, #3; Harry Bosch Universe, #34) by Michael Connelly

*Puede contener spoilers* /  *Some spoilers might appear*


Últimamente, me he topado bastante con el concepto "incel" o los "celibato involuntario", pero viendo que esta novela es de 2020, me reafirmo en que Michael Connelly es un referente en cuanto a temática de denuncia social, y aquí lo plasma divinamente a través del periodista Jack McEvoy y su trabajo en el Fair Warning (Advertencia Razonable, en inglés), periódico online (existente en la vida real) que saca a la luz abusos o vulneraciones a los derechos a los consumidores y las consumidoras.

Esta entrega se centra en la problemática del uso y venta de la información privada, obviamente sin consentimiento ni conocimiento de la clientela de las empresas que lo gestionan. Concretamente, en resultados de análisis de ADN que acaban en manos de un grupo de misóginos descerebrados que utilizan los datos de mujeres con predisposición genética al riesgo (como al consumo de drogas o al  sexo), utilizando esta información para localizarlas y aprovecharse de ellas, incluso llegando a matar.


La novela tiene un buen ritmo y no te deja indiferente, haciéndote reflexionar sobre qué harán las empresas con toda la información que les damos de forma ¿in?voluntaria. Una historia verdaderamente recomendable.

Esta es la entrega n.º 33 de universo Harry Bosch y el 3º del periodista Jack McEvoy, pero no temáis, se puede leer como novela independiente, aunque recomiendo leer las dos historias anteriores de Jack para no espoileártelas si quieres leerlas después.
