Blog Tour: Murder with a Side of Red Velvet – Skylar Warren

ramblingmads

It’s a blazin’ summer in Willow Bluff, Georgia, and chef Jessie Haynes has prepared the best darn wedding buffet the town has ever tasted. Love is in the air—peppered with the tantalizing aroma of fried chicken, and just a dash of… murder?

At the centre of Jessie’s pitch-perfect dinner table sits a tiered red velvet cake, decorated in pearly-white icing and delicate pink roses, just waiting for its moment to shine. But when groom Tommy Prescott takes a bite, he immediately slumps to the floor, dead. His wedding toast becomes his eulogy as his bride collapses in a sobbing heap of tulle and lace beside him.

Back at Honeybee’s Diner, Jessie dusts down her apron and rolls up her sleeves, fixin’ to find the killer—fast. But as folks around town start to spill the beans, she realizes this investigation won’t be a piece of cake. The happy couple were surrounded by bad apples—was it the one of groom’s grown children who feared they would lose their inheritance? Or the bride’s former foe, in an extreme case of sour grapes?

Honing-in on the bride’s years at Willow Bluff High, Jessie has success in her sights. But then the wedding planner goes missing, and the investigation looks to be well and truly cooked. Terrified the blushing bride could be next, the race is on for Jessie to follow the breadcrumbs and catch this killer before the whole case crumbles…

A deliciously gripping cozy mystery that will leave you hungry for more. If you like Ellery Adams, Deany Ray or Agatha Christie, you won’t be able to put this down.

My thoughts: Jessie has been hired to cater a small event, which turns out to be a wedding, and then after taking a bite of wedding cake, the groom drops dead.

Jessie didn’t make the cake but unfortunately that doesn’t stop the gossip-mongers of Willow Bluff from claiming her diner is closing down.

So Jessie and co start another investigation, this time to find out who poisoned the cake – and why the groom sprung a surprise wedding on his bride, young enough to be his granddaughter, excluding his children from the event.

Carefully asking questions about the bride’s previous life in the town. Samantha left under something of a cloud and she might be the intended victim, if it wasn’t her ageing beau.

Funny, with great characters (I want Tee to be my friend) and not a book to read when hungry as the descriptions of the amazing food Jessie whips up will make you drool. It’s another highly enjoyable and clever mystery. Can’t wait for the next one!

Blog Tour: The Winter Job – Antti Tuomainen, translated by David Hackston

ramblingmads

To celebrate the paperback release of this funny book, i’m re-posting my review from the hardback blog tour. Grab yourself a copy!

Helsinki, 1982. Recently divorced postal worker Ilmari Nieminen has promised his daughter a piano for Christmas, but with six days to go – and no money – he’s desperate. A last-minute job offers a solution: transport a valuable antique sofa to Kilpisjärvi, the northernmost town in Finland.

With the sofa secured in the back of his van, Ilmari stops at a gas station, and an old friend turns up, offering to fix his faulty wipers, on the condition that he tags along. Soon after, a persistent Saab 96 appears in the rearview mirror. And then a bright-yellow Lada.

That’s when Ilmari realises that he is transporting something truly special. And that’s when Ilmari realises he might be in serious trouble…

Finnish Antti Tuomainen was an award-winning copywriter when he made his literary debut in 2007 as a suspense author. In 2011, Tuomainen’s third novel, The Healer, was awarded the Clue Award for Best Finnish Crime Novel and was shortlisted for the Glass Key Award.

In 2013, the Finnish press crowned Tuomainen the ‘King of Helsinki Noir’ when Dark as My Heart was published. Tuomainen was one of the first to challenge the Scandinavian crime-genre formula, and his poignant, dark and hilarious The Man Who Died became an international bestseller, shortlisting for the Petrona and Last Laugh Awards. Palm Beach, Finland (2018) was an immense success, with The Times calling Tuomainen ‘the funniest writer in Europe’, and Little Siberia (2019) was shortlisted for the Capital Crime/Amazon Publishing Readers Awards, the Last Laugh Award and the CWA International Dagger, and won the Petrona Award for Best Scandinavian Crime Novel. It was released as a Netflix film in 2025.

The Rabbit Factor, the first book in a trilogy that includes The Moose Paradox and The Beaver Theory, is now in production for TV with Amazon Studios, starring Steve Carell. The Moose Paradox was a Literary Review and Guardian Book of the Year and shortlisted for CrimeFest’s Last Laugh Award. The trilogy was followed in 2024 by The Burning Stones.

Antti lives in Helsinki with his wife.

My thoughts:Taking a last minute delivery job that turns out to be a complete nightmare, Ilmari the postman is determined to buy a piano for his daughter for Christmas.

The dodgy van he’s given guzzles fuel and isn’t exactly designed for driving through the snow. He picks up an old friend, and some unwanted followers  – a Lada and a Saab, both want the sofa in the back of the van and are prepared to do almost anything to get it.

This blackly comic tale of a desperate drive across Finland to deliver a sofa and the unpleasant surprise they find inside it, made me laugh, it’s quite silly and weird, which is very Tuomainen, whose books I really enjoy. The stakes are pretty high and the ending is rewarding, definitely worth a re-read, maybe at Christmas!

Blog Tour: Good Twin Bad Twin – Renita D’Silva

ramblingmads

I’m shaking as I turn the postcard over. A picture of a pretty Cotswold village. And a message: Bitter Honey, here I come.

It’s in my twin sister’s handwriting. She’s the only person who ever called me that. Except that can’t be true. Because, if it is, then whose body is buried under the patio?

She was the golden one. I was the shy, bookish one. Living in her shadow. Now I have everything I ever wanted. A stunning home on the Dorset cliffs. A handsome husband. A beautiful teenage daughter.

But my husband disappears at night. Our dog is the only member of the family that really loves me. And if my twin sister is alive, then everything I believed about my life is a lie.

Her first psychological thriller, The Neighbours, won the Joffe Books Prize 2023.

My thoughts: This was a good twist filled read. Twin sisters Ash and Nish do everything together. Nish is the driving force, the golden girl, Ash is the quiet one, desperate to escape her sister’s shadow.

As adults they are no longer in contact, until a postcard appears. But if her sister is alive, who did she bury under the patio?

As the narrator moves through her life, we try to work out which twin she is, it seems like she’s Ash, but the diary entries and flashbacks suggest something far stranger is going on. When the final reveal takes place – you will gasp.

This is clever, filled with unreliable characters, with people who change their names, their whole lives. With sisters who should have been allowed to be themselves not half of a whole.

My thoughts: I really enjoyed this, it has the signature Rachel Amphlett blend of really good writing, interesting characters and gripping plot.

Assigned temporarily to North Kent to lead the investigation DC Gavin Piper feels a bit out of his depth, his boss however knows he can do this. And he does. Gradually finding his feet as this far more complex than it first appears case proceeds.

A man on an abandoned boat, murdered with an axe. His ID is in his pocket, but his life is full of secrets. Then a key witness is drowned. Someone is cleaning house. A huge clue in the form of packaging on the boat connects to a break in, but it’s the awful discovery beneath a static caravan that will have you shocked and opens up the case.

Absolutely thrilling, shocking and full of gasp-out-loud moments, this is crime writing at its best.

Blog Tour: The Priest’s Wife – A.G. Rivett

ramblingmads

When her husband the priest dies, Morag loses more than her life partner. With him goes her home and her place in the community. In addition to these misfortunes, in a society that sets great store by lineage, she is challenged about the mysterious identity of her mother, and it is this that sets her on a quest of discovery that comes, at first, upon a blank, but in time leads her to the circle of the island’s ‘Guardians’, who mediate her discovery of her mother’s identity, and, step by step, her own deeper self-knowing and self-acceptance. 

When Aidan, the new priest, undertakes a campaign to upturn the township’s spirituality, which has accommodated older druidical forms alongside the Christ story, both he and the community are set on a collision course. As tension builds the shareg (headman) of the town, must intervene. Finding no way through that conforms to the norms of his world, he must take a radical and unconventional step. 

The book explores mental breakdown (Aidan’s) and severe depression (Morag’s, at the mid-point of the story when she finds herself at an impasse). It reflects religious tensions that have existed historically. It celebrates the natural world and the resilience of the human spirit in resisting a coercive authority. In doing so, Morag steps into her full personhood.

Ceredigion author A G Rivett claims to have lived several lives in the course of his one life. Born in London, raised in the Home Counties, he has been a doctor, a priest, and a crofter in the Scottish Highlands. He has lived in rural Northern Nigeria and knows what a simpler life looks like, less dependent on technology. He now lives in West Wales with his wife, Gillian Paschkes-Bell, who works with him as a writing team. There, he grows fruit and vegetables and has sewn a wildflower meadow. He has three daughters and two grandsons.

Facebook Website

My thoughts: I felt for Morag, with her husband’s death she loses not only her partner but her home and her standing in the village. With nowhere for her, she leaves to travel back to the place she grew up, hoping to find a home there. She has questions about her mother’s identity that she alone cannot answer and on her quest for a new home, she must also reckon with her past. Meeting the Guardians helps her, and gives her guidance, but the rest is up to her.

At a point in her life where she might have expected stability and the quiet comforts of home and family, she is thrust into a quest for answers about her past and her future.

Meanwhile the new priest must contend with the islanders unique belief system, his own ambitions and try to find a place in this community that is wary of outsiders. Aiden must attempt to master the challenges of his role and rise to the beliefs his church leaders have in him.

Morag and Aidan are a study in contrast, both are starting again at points in their lives they did not expect and must overcome others’ assumptions about them and their place in the world as well as contend with their own personal internal worries.

It’s another interesting study of change and belief, as with Morag’s adopted son in The Seaborne.

Blog Tour: The Seaborne – A.G. Rivett

ramblingmads

John Finlay is fleeing from failure. His engineering business has failed. His relationship has failed. His flight from debts leads him to disaster – and to the Island, where he must learn to live anew.

Dermot, pulling a boy barely alive from the water, has never seen anyone so strangely dressed. His Celtic island knows nothing of debt, nor engineering. Where has this man come from?

John struggles to accept that he has been carried across time and into another world – both like and unlike his own. How he got there is a mystery. But John, the foreigner, must turn slowly into Dhion, the Islander.

Still, he brings with him unfinished business that must be faced, and ideas that may not always be welcomed. Meanwhile Dermot, consumed with a growing jealousy, develops his own deadly agenda.

The whole community finds itself caught up in what becomes a matter of survival – or transformation. A tale of loss and change. A spiritual inquiry. And a love story.

My thoughts: John finds himself on an island that might be a bit like a lost Scottish/Irish one, where people speak  sort of Gaelic/Celtic language, where Christianity has mixed into their traditional beliefs, and where they still believe in the sidhe (the fae/faeries/fair folk) as well as God the Father and Gaia the Mother.

John is unable at first to communicate with his rescuers, they don’t understand his modern English, too far removed from its mish-mashed roots in Latin, French, Greek and Germanic languages. He slowly learns their language and tries to adapt to the very different way of living, something closer to the way people lived a thousand years ago or so when the Anglo-Saxons and Norse lived in England.

As he adjusts to the island life, he forms relationships with some of the villagers he lives among, attempts to find work he can do, as an engineer he’s keen to build things and introduce some technology to the place. One of the young women becomes interested in him, and this adds to the enmity Dermot, a young man there, begins to feel, seeing John as his rival. A rivalry John does not feel. 

Offered a chance to return to his own time and world, John must choose the life he has found on the island, or the one he was running from – his business, his family and Helen, the woman he left behind. Can he start again there or has the life he has begun to build amongst the islanders become his real life? 

An interesting and imaginative book, would we, if offered a similar chance to begin somewhere new, choose it or return to our technologically advanced but disconnected one? Thought-provoking and intriguing.

Straight up, the cops are off and
running—investigating the discovery of a murdered company director. Following the clues, Detective Ryan finds that this and a second murder may be linked to past events.

As the pressure mounts for a quick solution to the case, the detective finds that he too, is in the killer’s crosshairs. But Ryan is distracted from the investigation by a romantic encounter with an old university friend.

He also worries about his mother, Mumta, and her new obsessive desire for grandchildren from her only son. Could this be linked to her recent medical tests? And there’s another pressing problem— the plague of rats in his apartment block.

Detective Ryan’s hands are well and truly full.

My thoughts: Detective Ryan meets his new partner Detective Zoe Yang about two seconds before they’re sent off to investigate a murder. They’ve met before but their new partnership gets off to a rocky start as Ryan isn’t very good at sharing, his thoughts or the work.

But someone clearly has it in for the managing trio of the company, as first one, then two of its partners are killed. As the bodies mount up, their boss is running out of patience with his so-called dream team, and might have to send out the department’s dinosaurs if they don’t get some results soon.

But Ryan sends Zoe off to do paperwork, while getting side tracked by his mother’s health worries and the appearance of an old friend from his student days.

There’s also some rather nasty gangsters running around, and as a former organised crime detective, Ryan is aware that they’re operating in his city, and that they might be connected to his case.

Can he find the killer or killers, make his boss happy, look after his mother, find love and not drive his new partner away? As well as attend to the rat infestation in his apartment complex? Sure, why not.

A smart and enjoyable crime caper in the Sydney sunshine with an intriguing pair of detectives and entertaining cast of characters (I want more Tik and Tok!)

Blog Tour: The Mysterious Double Death of Honey Black – Lisa Hall

ramblingmads

You know she has been murdered. Can you stop it happening twice?

Two very different lives

It is 2019 and Lily Jones is living her dream in LA. Sort of. It hasn’t quite turned out as she planned and instead of working as a movie producer, she is cleaning at the prestigious Beverly Hills Hotel. At least she gets to work in the renowned Paul Williams suite, site of the brutal murder of Honey Black 70 years ago, shrouded in rumour and dark glamour.

It is 1949 and Honey Black is about to hit the big time. She may have started out a country girl from Hicksville but now she is a star. And Hollywood had better watch out nothing can stop her now!

One Hollywood murder

After an accidental bump to the head, Lily finds herself in Hollywood, 1949. Like a dream come true, she is rubbing shoulders with the great and good of Tinseltown. Including Honey Black…

Horrified, Lily realises that the actress has only two weeks left to live before she will be murdered. Could this be why she has found herself in 1949? To find the killer and stop them in their tracks?

My thoughts: Lily suffers a very nasty bump on the head while cleaning a hotel bathroom and somehow she’s in 1949, but complete with her 2019 brain. She knows it’s two weeks until movie star Holly Black will be murdered, and she’s going to try to stop it, if she can.

Luckily being a fan of all things vintage, she manages to fit in pretty well and even gets a job that might bring her closer to Holly, close enough to save her?

But she also might need to find a way back to her own life somehow. Can she stop a murder and figure out time travel? Well, she’s got to try and she doesn’t have a lot of time left. The countdown is on to find a killer in this clever and funny time travelling crime caper, Lily is a fantastic sleuth in some regards, she knows details of Holly’s death but not who the killer was, so that’s a problem.

I really like this series so I’m glad to have a reason to re-read this book, I couldn’t remember whether Lily managed it or not, so it felt like reading it for the first time. It’s a fun read and Lily’s a great protagonist, 40s Hollywood is a really interesting time, largely cut off from the realities of post-war life, making glamorous films, and operating under the unpopular Hays Code.

Blog Tour: The Hollow Garden – Natalie Grace Lewis

ramblingmads

Seventeen years ago, Kyra Masters fled the Hollow Garden and never looked back.

Haunted by fragmented memories of her friend Eleanor’s death and the events that followed, she has spent years trying to build a life far from the estate that shattered her family and left her questioning her own mind.

Following her aunt’s death, Kyra unexpectedly inherits the Hollow Garden. A sprawling Victorian graveyard of crumbling mausoleums, ruined monuments, and paths tangled with the rare Night Ivy that has grown there for generations.

The place she returns to is not the one she remembers. Time has transformed it into something stranger, its shadows heavy with secrets long hidden behind graves and mausoleum. Family resentments linger, and an old flame is unwilling to let the past remain buried.

As old memories begin to surface, Kyra is forced to confront the tragedy she has spent years trying to forget. What really happened on the night Eleanor died? And why have those around her worked so hard to bury the truth?

The estate was never meant to be hers.

And the Hollow Garden has a will of its own.

Nostalgia is for those who sleep well.

Natalie Grace Lewis is a British author of contemporary gothic fiction. Her work combines haunting settings, family secrets, and supernatural elements to explore memory, loss, and the stories we inherit.

Drawn to historic cemeteries, ruined churches, and forgotten corners of the past, she writes about inheritance, grief, identity, and the uneasy relationship between memory and truth.

Her debut novel, The Hollow Garden, is a contemporary gothic novel set within a decaying Victorian graveyard, where old tragedies refuse to remain at rest.

When Natalie isn’t writing, she can usually be found wandering historic graveyards, visiting old bookshops, or planning her next research trip.

My thoughts: Kyra is forced to return to her childhood home, a deeply unhappy one, by the contents of her aunt’s will. She has been left everything – the house, land and stake in the family business. Having fled years before after her stepfather had her incarcerated in a psychiatric unit, that she refers to as an asylum, she doesn’t want to go back, and once there, she experiences strange visions, nightmares and headaches.

According to her aunt’s will she must stay there for at least three days before she can sign anything over to her half-sister Dana. Something at first, Kyra is desperate to do. But then she starts to remember things – like the death of their friend Eleanor, that led to her being sectioned. And other things aren’t quite right, her aunt’s death for a start.

As Kyra starts to investigate, the past rushes up to greet her. Her former boyfriend and his sisters live in the gatehouse, her sister is constantly stopping by to cook, or chat, despite saying how busy she is. The estate seems full of ghosts, and they all need Kyra to listen.

A Gothic story full of twists and turns as Kyra searches for the truth behind her aunt’s recent death and the long ago deaths of Eleanor and her own mother, the things she’s been told no longer seem like the truth. She’s never been in more danger than she is just as she learns the answers, but without them she could find herself locked away yet again. Clever and more than a little nasty, the Hollow Garden plays for keeps.

Clingy Demon King
Fated Mates
Gothic Underworld
Obsession/Yearning
Reincarnation Romance
What if demon kings had a heart, somewhere deep within? What if they were obsessive, possessive, and yearnful? Once upon a time, there existed such an entity, and he was not one to share what he deemed his…

My name is Penelope, and upon my death, I awoke in the Otherworld. I was processed as normal. Introduced to my new life. Told that I’d slowly forget my earthly memories… until I saw his painting. Kallúm, the demon king that we owe allegiance to.

His eyes followed me.

It was easy to ignore, assuming it was a facet of this world. Until I’m led to a deeply subterranean statue of him, where every newcomer makes an obligatory offering of fruit. His carved figure was surrounded by small, sweet, colorful signs of devotion–markings of every soul that had pledged allegiance before me, whether by reverence or by force. I placed mine at his feet, and his stone lids opened.

I can feel that he saw me.

Apparently, my soul has been here before, and he was hungry to catch me then. Now I’ve returned, except as far as I know, I’m just Penelope.

Come to me, tempest…
