Pitch Perfect Classic Mystery
I adore this series! Every time I pick up an installment, I feel like I’m in the middle of a Thin Man mystery. This book, the third in the series, was the best yet. And the ending even felt like a Thin Man because the main suspects were all together in one place. Each story builds the romance between Drew …
How to Help Authors: Write Reviews
Periodically, I’ll get to spend time with readers or developing writers. I absolutely love it. There’s something so fun about rediscovering books through the eyes of a book club.

When we refocus, we realize how much can be done in that small segment …

The pages move seamlessly from …
