Vows, Vendettas and a Little Black Dress by Kyra Davis
" I just finished Vows, Vendettas and a Little Black Dress. This series has been a fun distraction from the distress of real life and political craziness that surrounds us, and this new book was in no way a disappointment. For a couple of days I holed up with Sophie and her band of eccentric, difficult and ultimately lovable friends and forgot to check the daily news. Reading one of Kyra Davis' ..

"..... Sophie's life continues in the big city of San Francisco and she has recently found the house of her Dreams, a 3 bedroom victorian.

To top that off the owner of the house is crazy and is making Sophie hold seances as part of her contract to buy the h..
The Cafe on the Edge of the World 세상끝의 카페 by John Strelecky 존 스트레레키
" If you are looking for a heart-pounding thriller, "The Café on the Edge of the World," by John Strelecky is not the book for you. If, however, you are in the mood to engage in self-reflection and ponder some of life's greater meaning, this may be your cup of tea. A frazzled executive gets hopelessly lost (apparently, he has no GPS) driving to a vacation spot because of a traffic jam on the Int..
The Girl Who Survived by Lisa Jackson
"......... I enjoyed the book and read it quickly. The story grabbed my interest within the first page and kept it throughout. The setting just added to the story, it was the perfect package for a creepy Christmas thriller. My main con is the author repeated…. A lot! It wasn’t chapters or even pages apart either it was sentences apart that she wrote almost word for word what she’d just written ...

The Media and Me by Ben Boyington, Allison T. Butler, Nolan Higdon, Mickey Huff
" Unfortunately, very few people, let alone young people, understand the way media work. I graduated from Journalism school over a decade ago and have a graduate degree in communications as well, and so have had more awareness than the general population over the years. My mother gets frustrated, saying "then what is true?" when I question the political posts she shares on social media. This boo..
ミステリークロック 미스터리 클락 by 貴志 祐介 기시 유스케
" エンターテイメントとしてとても面白く久しぶりに小説を読み耽りました。ただ、星4つとしたのは一部トリックが難解で、理解しきれなかったので・・凡人にももっとわかりやすい解説と図解があればさらに楽しめたとは思います。まあ、でもエンターテイメントとして考えればとても上質で星5つでもいいかなという感じです...." " このシリーズの特徴なのか。犯人は最初にわかる、もしくは途中で見当がつくが犯行方法がわからないというパターン。にもかかわらず読んでしまう。表題作のミステリークロックにしろ、収録作のゆるやかな自殺にしろ、エラリー・クィーンのシャム双子の謎のような極限状態での事件。それがどうなるのかという読み方もあろう。ちなみに、ミステリークロックのラストで、ある動物の話が出てくるが、これは横溝正史の某作品がヒントだろうか ....." 미스터리 장르의 장편소설이다. 읽는데 상당한 노력이 필..
