Last week I spoke about movies, so this week I thought I’d bring my blog to the small screen, and discuss my favourite crime thrillers with you. Now, they are not all murder mysteries, but characters do die, and there is always a struggle between the good and the bad. The funny thing is, sometimes […]
In addition to reading my lot of murder mysteries this summer, I decided to expand my entertainment in the genre by watching movies that I hadn’t already seen. The most recent was American Psycho with Christian Bale (yes, I know, I’m extremely late on this one). First of all, I have to say that his […]

A big Hello to all of you out there! My name is Monica and I am a Youth Librarian with the Toronto Public Library system. With that being said, I love to read Young Adult Fiction, and my list this summer is all about murder! Yes, I know that sounds a bit morbid, but hey! […]
Far From You by Tess Sharpe (2014)* What a great murder mystery! The best part about this book for me were the characters. Not only did they have their highs and lows, they were beautifully flawed and realistic, and so honest, especially the main character, Sophie. Sophie has evaded death twice. Once, when she was […]
