This book is a highly original tale that includes my new favorite point-of-view character, Marcellus — a giant Pacific octopus. Marcellus reminds me of one of my other favorite fictional
characters: Ove.
The main character in Van Pelt’s novel is a recent widow who
is coping with her new normal and forging a path forward. Written with
compassion and deep insight, this uplifting novel is charming and hopeful. The narrator in the audio version is brilliant.

I love
a good mystery, and this first in the series from Tammy L. Grace is a favorite of
mine. Full of twists and turns, with suspects around every corner, it also has
characters who pulled me in and made me care about them.
The main character is
a lawyer-turned-private detective named Coop, who has a humorous snark about
him. Coop’s loyal golden retriever is always by his side. His Aunt Camille
provides a roof over his head on her huge estate and keeps him well-fed with
all her southern cooking.
The food descriptions will have your mouth watering. The
quirky supporting cast of characters gets involved in Coop’s cases (whether he
wants them to or not), and together, they solve what seems to be an unsolvable
murder.
This is a fast-paced mystery that kept me
guessing until the end and made me want to continue the series.
