Queen B’s Decree: Man, I love this series. Ernest is such a storyteller. I love how these books are basically written as if they were journal entries; Ernest telling us the story after the fact. Another murder, another mystery to be solved. This one was super enjoyable—funny, with some hilarious dialogue and inner monologue, and […]
Queen B’s Decree: I really enjoyed my first read by Josh Petroski, Charm City Killer, and I was definitely happy to hear he’d released another book. Side note: while this is the second, you can read it as a standalone. This one had the same magic as the first. I liked the multiple points-of-view (but […]
Queen B’s Decree: We wanted a spooky-ish read for our next book club read, so it was finally time for me to read a Freida McFadden book. I’ve been recommended her by multiple people, I wish I had made time earlier to try. I couldn’t put down The Housemaid. The first part is told through […]
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 […]
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, […]

As she researches her client, she finds facts and history that don’t line up. And when her client’s business partner abruptly comes and stays with her […]
Queen B’s Decree: You know, for a psychological thriller, this sure had a lot of sex scenes. Ladykiller goes back and forth from the current timeline with Abby’s point of view, and the recent past in Gia’s manuscript. But Gia is basically just writing about rich person woes and it’s so clear she’s being conned […]
Queen B’s Decree: People Will Talk is definitely a rich person’s murder mystery. Gave me some Agatha Christie vibes in how easy it seemed for the rich to avoid any police interference. Peter invites his current girlfriend, his ex-college girlfriend, and his son’s guardian to his surprise wedding…where the bride is later murdered. Honestly, Peter […]
Queen B’s Decree: I was hooked by the mystery of Home is Where the Bodies Are. Three estranged siblings come together after their mother dies…and they discover their parents may have been involved in a murder. It alternated between the past with their mother’s POV and current day divided between the three siblings. Each chapter […]
Queen B’s Decree: Molten Death is a quick and cozy mystery set on the Big Island of Hawaii. Valerie, our lead, is a retired, nearly 60-year-old who is vacationing with her wife after a traumatic accident and death of her brother.
