Mostly Murders

For Stacking The Shelves hosted by Reading Reality I’m posting the books I’ve added to my digital library this week, and the blurbs that made me download them in the first place. 

I’ve read The Retirees by Leah Orr and really enjoyed it, my review is posted here on my blog. The rest of these I have yet to read.

High Noon, Australian Style by Elda Drake 
From Freebooksy: Fancy an Australian adventure filled with humor, romance, and a touch of mystery? Join Hetty as she leaves Germany behind to explore the Outback in a camper van.

Chain House by J. H. Markert 
From Netgalley: “A dangerous cult leader, days away from execution, reveals he is the famous author behind a bestselling series. With his death, the final, unpublished manuscript—and the crucial evidence it contains—will never see the light of day.”

The Retirees by Leah Orr 
From Netgalley: “When sharp-tongued sugar heiress Diana is ousted from the empire she helped build, she retreats to a posh 55+ paradise expecting peace, maybe even a pool boy. Instead, she finds a ragtag group of retirees with a knack for solving cold cases—and a disturbing knack for attracting new ones.”

Of Devotion and Death by Anastasia Hastings
From Amazon: “A cozy Victorian historical murder mystery full of wit and unforgettable characters.” For this one it wasn’t the blurb that made me buy it. It was several reviews I saw on Instagram, especially one from @acozymoose. We have very similar tastes in books, so if she says she loves a book, there’s a good chance I’ll love it as well.

The Librarian of the Haunted Library by Brian Yansky
From Freebooksy: Kevin never planned on being a librarian. He especially didn’t plan on being a librarian in a town that doesn’t appear on any map, where the books talk back, and fictional characters occasionally escape their pages. A Supernatural Horror Comedy. Fun. Quirky. Entertaining. Unpredictable.
