Review: The Fatal Flame (Timothy Wilde Mysteries #3) by Lyndsay Faye

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: The Fatal Flame (Timothy Wilde Mysteries #3) by Lyndsay Faye

Wow, completely different than what I was expecting! This book is a very uniquely written mystery and I loved it.

I have never read anything by Faye before, but what a treat it was! Her writing style is so different and raw.

It’s almost had a film noir feel to it….gritty, dark, and real but at the same time oddly addicting.

In New York City, an arsonist threatens Alderman Robert Symmes, a corrupt and powerful leader high in the Tammany Hall gang ranks.

Copper Star detective, Timothy Wilde is investigating the arson situation when the love of his life, Mercy Underhill, suddenly shows up on his door step and takes in an orphan girl who is starving on the streets. But the orphan girl doesn’t quite have a grasp of reality.

It soon becomes clear that this girl holds the key to unraveling the mysterious arson attacks but her cryptic descriptions are anything but helpful.

Review: Dead Cert by Dick Francis

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: Dead Cert by Dick Francis

Horses and murder in the English countryside…..how can I resist a book like that?

Jockey, Alan York, is riding in a steeplechase race when his long time friend, Bill Davidson, takes a terrible fall over the last fence.

Alan finishes the race in first place and rushes back to check on his friend. Bill is quickly taken to the hospital but it is too late, he is dead. Alan examine the fence where Bill went down and discovers the remains of a wire, indicating that the fall was anything but an accident.

The dark world of horse racing and bookmaking is one that Alan is familiar with. He knows the dangers of ‘stopping’ a horse intentionally during a race, he knows that the horse racing world is full of unsavory characters but he also knows that his best friend Bill, would never enter into anything dishonest which makes his death even more of a mystery.

As Alan digs deeper into Bill’s death, he puts himself in great danger…..what happened to Bill could easily happen to Alan and it would look just like an accident.
