My Dot Hutchison The Collector Series Review
Probably my favourite series I read this year, and certainly the one that surprised me the most in terms of how much I enjoyed it, The Collector Series by Dot Hutchison is truly something I cannot stop thinking about. With its dark adult crime fiction foundations reminiscent of Criminal Minds, the character interactions and relationships…

I’ve Been Waiting All Year For Murder at Somerset House by Andrea Penrose
It may sound like an exaggeration, but it feels like I have been waiting all year for Murder at Somerset House, the ninth book in the Wrexford and Sloane mystery series by Andrea Penrose. I love this series, so much so I slowly add new releases to my bookshelf collection when the right print size…

The Vanishing Season – The Nail-Biting Ending to Dot Hutchison’s Masterful Crime Fiction Series
Dot Hutchison is lucky I haven’t met her, because I have many things I wish to say to her. Namely, how can she leave us readers to blubber and wipe our tears all on our lonesomes after that heartbreaking, beautiful read. The Vanishing Season is not the read I expected as a whole, but it…

The Summer Children by Dot Hutchison Will Have Your Skin Crawling
The Butterfly Garden and The Roses of May were great, but there is something about Dot Hutchison’s third instalment in The Collector series, The Summer Children, that had me stuck right in there.

Dangerous Book Recs
These book recs are for those wanting a little more thrill to their scary, a little more suspense to their spooky, and a lot more of a fear factor in their read. Unlike Witchy Book Recs and Haunting Book Recs, I feel this category has a lot more variety and possibility. From fantasy to historical…

The Dark and Sinister Tale of Dot Hutchison’s The Butterfly Garden
I requested The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison thanks to one of my trusted Bookstagram readers, and given the number of novels I had to read in a short time, I gave it to my mum to read first. She zoomed through it. I just finished it, and even being under the weather couldn’t prevent…

The Gages are Back in Anna Lee Huber’s A Tarnished Canvas
Now that I am reading this series as each book is getting published, I have quite positive feelings about the Gages and the Kiera Darby Mystery series as a whole. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, they say, and on top of that, A Tarnished Canvas, the new instalment in the long-running series, has the…
