Everybody is a Liar by Liv Constantine
Queen B’s Decree: Everybody is a Liar is a short thriller featuring my favorite mystery topic: schmurder. It was produced as an audiobook with multiple narrators and graphic audio. The story line was pretty easy to follow; Julie suspects her husband of cheating and eventually after confronting him, they go to couples therapy. Their therapist […]
The Politician’s Wife by Andrew Segal
Queen B’s Decree: The Politician’s Wife is the third in the Tammy Pierre Mystery series but can be read as a standalone. Past events are referred to, but I never felt like I was missing too much. The story is basically an intriguing political thriller with a whole lot of murder and I couldn’t help […]
Murder in the Dressing Room by Holly Stars
Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson

The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
Love and Other Cages by Emilia Ares
Queen B’s Decree: Love and Other Cages is technically a standalone, but the story moves quickly at the beginning and I think you’d benefit from reading Love and Other Sins to get to know the characters better before diving into this one. And by “story moves quickly,” I mean there is a shoot out and […]
St. Ambrose School for Girls by Jessica Ward
Queen B’s Decree: This is a mix of a coming of age story and a murder mystery. Sarah is a new scholarship student at a rich girl’s boarding school, and she’s definitely learning she doesn’t fit in when the resident mean girl sets her sights on her. This story is told through Sarah’s point-of-view entirely, […]
