City Under One Roof is an interesting hybrid of mystery subgenres. Its setting is pretty unique, too. What did I think of this story of a community locked down in a snowstorm? Check out my review of City Under One Roof by Iris Yamashita.

I love a good Gothic novel, and this one has a past/present storyline and feminist themes. I think The Villa could be very divisive read, which makes for a good discussion! Check out my Review of The Villa by Rachel Hawkins

Did you read The Villa by Rachel Hawkins and are looking for a full plot summary, a character list, an explanation of the ending of The Villa or just someone to talk to about this complicated book? Pull up a chair, make yourself a limoncello cocktail (haha) or a lemonade and let’s kick off this Spoiler Discussion for The Villa by Rachel Hawkins.

It’s the question I always get asked at this time of the year: what were the best books I read, anyway? What were the Best Mysteries and Thrillers of 2022? I always struggle to pick!
Should I choose a Locked Room Mystery, a classic police procedural, or a twisty thriller? I did include many of my 2022 Favorites on my Pick a Mood Board, I’ll Pick You a Thriller post!
I decided to analyze four official lists of the Best Mysteries and Thrillers of 2022, giving my comments on their choices, looking at what books made multiple lists, and revealing the books that (in my opinion) shouldn’t be on there at all!

I am busily reading through “best of 2022” mysteries and thought this one was an interesting suggestion. What is a mystery? What are your criteria for a book being a mystery? This one made me rethink mine a little. Check out my Review of the Violin Conspiracy!

I love a good slow burn story with a chilling setting. This book had a lot to offer, which I’ll discuss in my Review of The Overnight Guest!
