A Killer Closet: A Mystery (Irene's Closet Book 1) por Paula Paul

I thought the story was entertaining, but the side characters could have been developed more thoroughly. They seemed a bit one dimensional. When the author switched point of view, it seemed a bit forced. I think the potential for this series is great and with a little more development, it could be wonderful. I enjoyed the main character and would like to see her more. Thanks to NetGalley for providing a copy in exchange for my honest review.

For Dead Men Only (Dr. Alexandra Gladstone #5) por Paula Paul

The Temple of the Ninth Daughter sits on a hill at the edge of Newton-upon-Sea. It is said that the Freemasons buried a treasure there a long time ago, but Dr. Alexandra Gladstone hasn't time for rumors like that. Not until local Freemasons starts to die. Could there be someone out there killing Freemasons to get to the treasure?

I read Medium Dead (book 3 in the series) the previous book in the series last year and found the story to be not that exciting to read, but a book that nevertheless was easy to read and entertaining for the moment. At least that what's my review says. And, I'm now very glad that I've started to write reviews so that I can go back and see what I thought. The thing is that I didn't go back and check before I requested this book. I got an email about it and thought alright I have read the previous book so I request this one. It was after that I saw that I had some problem with Medium Dead's story being too predictable.

I liked this story more than I liked the one in Medium Dead, sure it was a bit predictable, but I found reading the book was more enjoyable this time and I liked Alexandra Gladstone much more in this book, then I did it the previous. It's not a thick book, it takes just a couple of hours to read and the suspects are not that many. But, it's a nice cozy mystery book.

I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review. … (más)

Sins of the Empress por Paula Paul

With an engaging and easy, reading style, the essence of Catherine is captured with much charm and wit. Not a dauting historical for those who can find them rather wordy and stuffy. She is such a fascinating historical figure and the author did her justice here. It is equally given to The Empress Elizabeth and Peter and the events that that took place. The cover is somewhat uninspiring and could use a grander update, still is is a 4 star read for me. I look forward to reading another book by this author.

For Dead Men Only (Dr. Alexandra Gladstone #5) por Paula Paul

What are the stories about the The Temple of the Ninth Daughter, a Freemasons Lodge in Victorian Newton-upon-Sea. Is there a connection with the ghostly horse-rider and a series of deaths of Freemasons in the area.
Dr. Gladstone investigates. This is the first of this series that I have read, and enjoyed enough to want to start at the beginning to see how the characters develop.
