Book Review: Eve in Hollywood

I first heard about Eve in Hollywood through an ad on Goodreads.  I saw the words “All About Eve” splash across the screen and immediately clicked on it as the 1950s film of the same name is my favorite movie.  I soon found there was no relation to the film but as I scrolled down […]

Review: You Are One of Them

You Are One of Them is steady, keeping an even pace, but it wasn’t necessarily the thriller I thought it was going to be — for some reason I was picturing espionage.  This is not to say that I was disappointed, not by a long shot. You Are One of Them was suspenseful, I assumed […]

Book Review: The Other Typist

I did something I hardly ever do, I read The Other Typist in one day. A few weeks ago a fellow blogger, Elizabeth at Silver Reviews warned me that The Other Typist was a book I would have to talk about, and she was right!  It was incredible.  The ending was a complete twist that I […]

Review: The Silent Wife

From the beginning we know that Jodi will kill her husband Todd.  Like S.J. Watson’s Before I Go To Sleep in which we are reminded to “not trust Ben” this statement looms in the back of your head.  After this thought, the first two words that come to mind are  Gone Girl.  We have a […]

Review: Nancy’s Mysterious Letter

I really liked this installment of the series because it had a race against time aspect to it not only to find Nancy Smith Drew but also to stop her from marrying a gold digger. This almost felt like an episode of The Dating Game gone wrong; a contestant being yanked off stage. As for […]

Review: The Clue In The Diary

Okay, so Nancy finds a diary during a house fire and believes there could be a clue in it to find the arsonist. (hence, the title)  while leaving the scene, her car is in an accident and meets Ned Nickerson — Yay!  He falls head-over heals in disgusting puppy love and will do anything to […]

Book Review: The Kitchen Boy

From the beginning I knew there was a secret even deeper repressed than just the fall of the Romanovs.  His dear May had a vast collection of Fabergé  eggs an item Alexandra Fyodorovna, Tsarina collected.  The couple’s only child, a son had hemophilia, a disorder that the Tsarevich  Alexei Nikolaevich had.  And what happened to […]

Review: The Bungalow Mystery

Reading these books makes me wish or fantasize that I could be more like Nancy. She’s sweet and personable, making friends almost everywhere she goes and dresses smartly in the latest fashion. Her father Carson Drew is a sharp, handsome lawyer including his daughter in all his legal actions. I also adore the 1930s, that […]
