The Clairvoyants by Karen Brown

March 13, 2017 by Allison Hiltz 3 Comments

the clairvoyants by karen brown

A few years ago, The Longings of Wayward Girls by Karen Brown hit the streets running, generating a lot of early positive reviews. I remember it clearly because I didn't read it, which is a perpetual problem for avid readers.

murder mysteries

This post was written by Laura Ellen Scott, author of The Juliet.I’m excited to be asked to recommend a handful of kick-ass mysteries for the readers of The Book Wheel.

what was mine

You know how sometimes you read a book that everyone is raving about but it doesn't click for you? That's how What Was Mine by Helen Klein Ross was for me.
