Tome Thursday: Ghost Overboard

 
Hello everyone!
 
Welcome back to the blog.
 
For tonight's book of choice, we're picking a series that's been ongoing for a bit, but always seems to keep fresh no matter which one you choose to read!
 
I've been a fan of Dina Marie's work since I accidentally stumbled upon Going Ghost, and I've loved the rest of the books ever since.
 
I'm sure plenty of people out there will argue with me and say these books are short, bring nothing to the table, and are much too simple to be considered proper sleuthing ones.
 
I disagree!
 
It doesn't always have to be a crime so deep you need to bring out Holmes or Poirot.
 
Sometimes, all you need is logical thinking, a little bit of luck, and a ghostly companion while you're at it.
 
So let's check that out in Ghost Overboard.

Tome Thursday: Santa, the Billionaire

 
Hello everyone!
 
Why yes, yes indeed I am reviewing a Serenity Woods romance this holiday season.
 
Did you think it wasn't going to happen?
 
Naturally it was going to.
 
Of course Ms Woods has other holiday-themed ones that mostly happen in the summer in New Zealand, which always gives me whiplash since I live in the northern hemisphere and that means our winters are cold, not summery, but that's beside the point right now.
 
Tonight it's time to return to our favourite Billionaire Princes, and have a look at what their patriarch is up to when no one's looking (or he thinks no one's looking anyway).
 
And if you've been following me for a while you'll know that I've been covering this series from the very first book forward, which means that I will obviously cover it until the very last (we have two more to go!).
 
PLUS there's a small bonus happening here soon, but more on that later. For now, let's check out what Santa, the Billionaire, gets up to during the festive season!

Death on the Nile (Booktober)

 

"Gott im Himmel! What is there now?"

 

 
 
With the new movie coming out (and by the looks of the trailer it might even be good) it's time to take a look at one of Agatha Christie's beloved mysteries again. Let's take a ride down the Nile alongside the egg-head-shaped detective who attracts problems like a magnet. And if you have the stomach for it, let's investigate the murder of a beautiful young woman - a crime of passion if there ever was one. Because when tempers run hot under the Egyptian sun, what else can you expect?
 
 
 
 
 
The tranquility of a cruise along the Nile was shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway had been shot through the head. She was young, stylish and beautiful. A girl who had everything ... until she lost her life. Hercule Poirot recalls an earlier outburst by a fellow passenger: "I'd like to put my dear little pistol against her head and just press the trigger." Yet in this exotic setting nothing is ever quite what it seems ...
