Local Woman Missing
Storyline: 3 Stars Modern mystery books are always interesting. They are written different than a good old-fashioned Agatha Christie book and that can be good or bad. The good part of this book was that I wanted to keep reading. I was hooked almost right away, and I read through it fast. It was intriguing, Read more

The God of the Woods
Storyline: 5 Stars I loved this book. Recently I have become really skeptical of books that have become really popular and are hyped up all over the media, but I think this one actually lived up to the hype.

The Last Murder at the End of the World
Storyline: 4 Stars When I first heard this book was coming out, I was excited. I read another of Turton’s books in 2020 and I loved it!

The second two books were unbelievable in many different ways. The second Read more

There were accusations of s*xual relationships between individuals, but they would fall in the violence category and there is no proof that Read more

The Housemaid
The Safe Pages Rating Romance There are not many descriptive romantic scenes, but the narrator does mention s*x and the main character is implied to have had relations with someone who is married. Nothing graphic is depicted, but the physical relationship is implied. Violence There are several scenes of violence throughout the novel. One of Read more

The Maid
The Safe Pages Rating Romance There was really no romance in the book. The main character, Molly, has someone that she believes might be interested in her, but it never amounts to anything. By the end of the book she has a love interest, but it is not developed in the book and nothing detailed is Read more
