Angela’s Minis- What the Devil Knows by C.S. Harris and A Wicked Conceit by Anna Lee Huber

April 9, 2021 by Angela Leave a Comment

What the Devil Knows by C.S. HarrisSebastian St. Cyr Mystery #16Historical MysteryApril 6, 2021, by BerkleyARC I glommed this series last year and don't regret a minute of my time spent reading. As with any series, I recommend reading in order because there are ongoing family and relationship dynamics, but I do think you can read this as a stand-alone and not be super lost. What the Devil Knows begins with the murder of a local magistrate which is eerily similar to the gruesome murders Continue Reading

March 19, 2018 by Mandi 1 Comment

Usually when I go on vacation, I maybe read one chapter. Just one lonely chapter. I find myself getting caught up with my kids or doing things like - not relaxing in a chair so I can read. But this most recent vacation lacked my children and had  plenty of lounging by the pool time - so I read an entire book and a half! (I probably would have read more if I didn't have tequila in my other hand at all times).  I win at life. (also lose at life after I discovered a humongous cockroach in my Continue Reading
