Mini-Reviews: The I Can't Catch Up Version

As much as I hate to do this, I am making a post dedicated to the books I have read in the past month but haven’t reviewed. I cannot catch up with my reviews and keep falling further behind. Just to be warned, this will be a lengthy post. So, I understand if you can’t or won’t read it. But I need to do this for my sanity (and my NetGalley rating). This is the second P.J. Tracy book I have read,…

Abby stopped in with some late recs just now! She seconds Her Royal Spyness and adds:

Lady Emily Ashton Mysteries by Tasha Alexander (a personal favorite!) Start with And Only to Deceive

Mr. and Mrs. Darcy Mysteries by Carrie Bebris. Start with Pride and Prescience: Or, A Truth Universally Acknowledged

Veronica Speedwell series by Deanna Raybourn (another personal favorite!) Start with A Curious Beginning

Rosalind Thorne Mysteries by Darcie Wilde. Start with A Useful Woman

Countess of Harleigh Mysteries by Dianne Freeman. Start with A Lady's Guide to Etiquette and Murder

Can you recommend a cosy historical mystery series? I’d prefer a female protagonist if possible

We can! Historical cozies are a little harder to come by than ones set in modern day, but reader's advisor Susan has some suggestions!

Susan says:

You should try Rhys Bowen. She has two series that would be good; The Molly Murphy series and The Royal Spyness series. Start with Murphy's Law and Her Royal Spyness, respectively

Victoria Thompson writes the Gaslight Mysteries series about a detective midwife set about 1900 in New York City. Start with Murder on Astor Place.

Stephanie Barron has a series with Jane Austen as the detective. Start with Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor.

The Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear might work for you, too. It is set in 1929. Book one is just called Maisie Dobbs.

You might try Mary Roberts Rhinehart. She was often called the American Agatha Christie, so if Agatha Christie is a winner for you then definitely give Rhinehart a try.

And finally, take a look at The Cadfael Chronicles about a mystery-solving monk from 12th-centruy England. If you like them, you're in luck: there are a lot. These were written by Ellis Peters (pen name of linguist Edith Pargeter). Start with A Morbid Taste for Bones.

I hope there's something on that list that works for you! We don't actually have many cozy mystery recs in our backlog so I don't have a tag link for you, but I invite others to share their own recs on this post as well!

They made it perfectly fine. I love their styles and honestly, it fits to them like it was meant to be.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die has several scenes filled with moments of lightning, rapid gunfire, and police strobe lights, almost all of which occur without clear warning. The first two production company logos at the beginning of the film, especially the second one, contain strobe effects.

The camera is always moving in this film. Action scenes are filmed with cameras that move as rapidly as the characters, and using drones that fly through complex maneuvers, high speeds, and at extreme heights.

Flashing Lights: 10/10. Motion Sickness: 10/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: A heart attack and several panic attacks depicted in this film may be very visceral for some viewers. One character suffers a mental health crisis that results in standing precariously on the edge of a tall building. Some people are kidnapped.

[ruleof3bobby]

BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE (2024) Grade: C+

Horrible title for starters. Plot/story was average. Lack of any interesting/funny supporting char's hurt. Just Martin Lawrence going over the top too often. Enjoyable enough with the mix of action and humor to get through it.
