Lynn Spencer's review of The Witch Finder

5/5: B+ at AAR, so 4.5 stars With Halloween coming up, this month’s TBR Challenge theme is “Spooky (Gothic)”. I tried a couple of old gothics from my TBR, but neither of them stuck. So, I went in th...

I'd read some of the more recent Harry Bosch books, but I'm glad I went back and started the series from the beginning. I just finished Book 2, and I'm looking forward to the next installment. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Lynn Spencer's review of The Black Ice

4/5: 3.5 stars With a lead who pretty much ignores the chain of command, does his own thing and doesn't let pesky things like international borders get in his way, I probably shouldn't have liked this...

I should add that this book was published in 2012, so the "Satanic panic" stuff would have been dated for its time as well.

I've found some entertaining gothics in the Harlequin Intrigue line from time to time, so I had hopes for this one. Sadly, it just didn't work for me, and the 1980s-style "Satanic panic" plotting felt tired and dated. #romancelandiawww.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Lynn Spencer's review of Like Mother, Like Daughter

4/5: This thriller was quite the page turner for me. I was fascinated both by the events and the psychology of the characters. As the book opens, NYU student Cleo arrives at home for dinner with her m...

Thanks for sharing that. Fixing now...

In undergrad one of the clubs hosted a showing of Monty Python and the Holy Grail in one of the big lecture halls. Most people knew the lines and recited alongside the movie, someone brought coconut shells...it was so much fun!

I still need to read this one. I loved People We Meet on Vacation. The leads drove me nuts at times but I still got sucked into it.

Me too! They have been favorites of mine since high school. After reading Mystique, I still have 2 I haven't read, but I'm planning some rereads.
