Fiction/to review

Have I ever heard of the Yorkshire Ripper? No, but he killed a lot of people! Those few years must have been quite scary for women.

Miv is 12. Her mother is not really present, but she does not know why. She is just there. Her dad is busy at work and her aunt is staying with them. Everyone is talking about the Ripper, and they are told to be careful. Even if he goes after a certain kind of women, something she is not sure what it means either.

But together with her best friend Sharon she makes list of suspects and they investigate. During their investigations they make new friends, and find things that are not right. But how to solve problems when you are just a child?

It does get sad too, I did not expect it to get sad, but you are warned.

It was a really interesting book, I do confess to checking out who the ripper actually was in the end. I was just so curious! But I also managed to forget the name so I never knew what would happen.

A story of growing up.

There is quite a cast of narrators, 5 in total, that pop in here and there. And it works well, mostly it is Mivs POV, but there are other people around her too.

Twelve-year-old Miv is panicking. Life has been complicated since her mom got sick, and now her dad is talking about wanting to move their family away from the town Miv has lived in her whole life—because of the murders. Young women are dying, everyone is afraid, and no one knows who the culprit might be.

But as far as Miv is concerned, leaving Yorkshire and her best friend Sharon simply isn't an option, no matter the dangers lurking round their way; or the strangeness at home that started the day Miv's mum stopped talking. Perhaps if she could solve the case of the disappearing women, they could stay after all?

So, Miv and Sharon decide to make a a list of all the suspicious people and things on their street. People they know. People they don't. But their search for the truth reveals more secrets in their neighborhood, within their families—and between each other—than they ever thought possible. What if the real mystery Miv needs to solve is the one that lies much closer to home?

The cinnamon bun book store by Laurie Graham

384 pages

Series: Dream Harbor (#2)

Published: August 29, 2024 by One More Chapter

Cozy romantic mystery/library

Ok fine I give up. I did not like book 1, and book 2 did not work either. It was just SO boring.

Also I saw some reviews that dissed it cos they said it was "corn". LOL. Omg did we read the same book? Yes there were a few awkward scenes, very dull.

I really do not know why these do not work. The people are just boring, the story boring. I mean she thinks 30 means death! Almost. And she must do something fun before. She is also totally embarrassed because a costumer sees her holding/reading a pirate book and she is all I do not read smut! Omg, *eyeroll*. Grow up.

Just so boring

When a secret message turns up hidden in a book in the Cinnamon Bun Bookstore, Hazel can't understand it. As more secret codes appear between the pages, she decides to follow the trail of clues… she just needs someone to help her out.

Gorgeous and outgoing fisherman, Noah, is always up for an adventure. And a scavenger hunt sounds like a lot of fun. Even better that the cute bookseller he's been crushing on for months is the one who wants his help!

Hazel didn’t go looking for romance, but as the treasure hunt leads her and Noah around Dream Harbor, their undeniable chemistry might be just as hot as the fresh-out-of-the-oven cinnamon buns the bookstore sells…
