The Bishop’s Wife by Mette Ivie Harrison

The Bishop’s Wife by Mette Ivie Harrison

First Impressions The Bishop’s Wife by Mette Ivie Harrison could have been a good mystery novel if it focused on the murder of Carrie Helm. Impressions While Reading Biddy Linda Wallheim, amateur sleuth took center stage. She had to insert her nose into everything Gladys Kravitz style. What most annoyed me was her obsession with […]

Book Review: The Far End of Happy

Book Review: The Far End of Happy

Posted July 7, 2015 by Whitney in Review / 0 Comments

Posted June 26, 2015 by Whitney in review-a-thon / 0 Comments

I’m usually pretty good at staying on top of writing and prepping reviews but as of late I’ve gotten a bit behind. Therefore, when I saw The Book Vixen was hosting her Write On review-a-thon this weekend I thought it would be a great opportunity to play catch-up. Right now, I have two reviews to […]
