Death of a Gossip, by M.C. Beaton
I have a new favorite author. I fell in love with the character Hamish Macbeth on Apple Prime TV, so I downloaded M.C. Beaton’s first book in the Hamish Macbeth series, Death of a Gossip, and was knocked off my chair with her writing. Below is my review, which I’ve posted with 5 stars on Amazon, Goodreads, and Bookbub:

My Review
Phenomenal Writing
I loved this book. Beaton is a master storyteller. Her characters jump off the page and her wit kept me smiling page after page. I finished it in one afternoon because I couldn’t stop reading it. I recommend this book for people who like cozy mysteries, the Scottish highlands or dead gossips.

Act of Survival, by Marsha R. West
I met Marsha R. West online eight years ago. We were excited new writers in the Romantic Suspense genre. This is her latest book. I gave it 5 stars on Amazon, Bookbub, and Goodreads.
Book Description
Encouraged by her friends to protect herself, Kim Mason Dennison is determined to divorce her abusive husband. Cooper Wray, an attorney, assures Kim that her husband, Hunter, can’t keep the proceedings from moving forward because Texas is a no-fault divorce state. But why is Hunter doing everything he can to stop the divorce? And will that even include murder?
Here is my review.
Filled with Suspense
I loved Marsha R. West’s latest romantic suspense, Act of Survival. It’s a second chance story about an abused woman leaving her husband steeped in suspense and intrigue. I highly recommend it for readers who like suspenseful tales.

Hey, JoAnn. Thanks so much for posting a review and including me here. I’ll be sharing your blog. 🙂
Hi Marsha,
You are most welcome.
I really enjoyed the suspense in your book. What fun!
I’ve updated the post to include a description and link.
Warmest Regards,
Jo-Ann
I have and read the first 13 Hamish MacBeth and Agatha Raisin mysteries by M.C. Beaton. I love all of those. After that they weren’t as good. I tried each one. I believe she has about 26 of each out.
I’ve also read Marsha West’s Act of Survival and actually all of her books. Survival was quite the exciting book. I gave it 5 stars.
Hi Susan,
Great to hear from you. It seems are bookshelves look similar:) I’m inhaling M.C. Beaton’s books at the moment, but I doubt I’ll finish the series. I rarely finish series, and I think many are carried on too long with watered down plots. We’ll see. In the meantime, I’m having a great time in the Scottish Highlands:)
Thanks for stopping by, and
happy reading,
Jo-Ann
So kind, Susan. Thanks very much. 🙂
