For review of all books in this series: Go here. Stars: 3 / 5 My Recommendation: Another successful investigation by Kinsey Millhone rivaling the likes of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, but not yet there. Grafton gives us a female gumshoe with her share of flaws and strengths that further more enhances her character. AContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages – “D” is for Deadbeat (Alphabet Mystery #4)”

For review of all books in the series: Go here.

Leafing Through Pages – Full House (Full Series # 1)
Stars: 2.5 / 5Recommendation: As irritating as it was at the beginning and frustrating, the plot becomes more sinister as it neared the end. Evanovich has similar theme like her Stephanie Plum series, but more romance involved. I am half-minded with this book, so it will not be likely I will pick up another bookContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages – Full House (Full Series # 1)”
Leafing Through Pages – A Cup of Tea: A Novel of 1917
Stars: 5 / 5Recommendation: Who would have guessed that a single cup of tea could create a hurricane in the lives of three people – unexpected charity leads to forbidden attraction to shameless adultery to simple bigamy to mindless murder. Wonderful period detail about the 1920s New York City and the uncertainty of World WarContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages – A Cup of Tea: A Novel of 1917”

Cinema Slueth: Gambling Lady
For review of all movies starring Barbara Stanwyck, go here. Stars: 2.5 / 5 Recommendation: Disconnected plot; mismatch or miscast actors for their roles; mediocre acting by supporting cast; and a melodrama that solely survived on the chemistry between the lead cast even though it failed to hold the movie high. Movie makers definitely tookContinue reading “Cinema Slueth: Gambling Lady”
