Murder in an English Garden, by Carlene O’Connor***-**** | Seattle Book Mama

Murder in an Irish Garden is the eleventh in the Irish Village mystery series by Carlene O’Connor, but I haven’t read any of the earlier books. My thanks go to Kensington Books, RB Media, and NetGalley for the review copies; this book is for sale now. I was drawn to this book because it features…

Night and Day, by John Connolly**** | Seattle Book Mama

“Surely, once a book is out in the world, and being read, the world is altered, for better or worse.” John Connolly is one of my favorite authors, and because of this, I automatically snap up any book that appears with his name on it. But this one is unlike the others I’ve read, and…

The Road to Tender Hearts, by Annie Hartnett***** | Seattle Book Mama

The Road to Tender Hearts is aptly named, possibly the most big-hearted novel of 2025. Author Annie Hartnett first came on my radar in 2022 when she published Unlikely Animals, which turned out to be one of my favorites that year. When I saw that she had a new one out, I tried to temper…

The Family Recipe, by Carolyn Huynh***** | Seattle Book Mama

“We all need to feel needed. Otherwise, what’s the point of living?” Carolyn Huynh made her authorial debut in 2022 with The Fortunes of Jaded Women. It was one of my favorite novels not only of that year, but of all the thousand-plus galleys I have read since I began reviewing. She’s back again with…

The Wind Knows My Name, by Isabel Allende**** | Seattle Book Mama

Isabel Allende is a living legend, a literary genius and fierce defender of human rights, foremost of women and immigrants. The Wind Knows My Name is a novel that features the struggle of two generations of immigrants, those that came to the U.S. during the Holocaust, and those that are coming here now from Latin…

The Great Divide, by Cristina Henriquez***** | Seattle Book Mama

I found The Great Divide, by Cristina Henriquez, on a short list of most anticipated novels of 2024. I don’t like to get shut out when a book gets this much buzz; then there’s the added draw of an unusual setting. The U.S. doesn’t see a lot of fiction published that’s set primarily in Panama…

The Briar Club, by Kate Quinn***** | Seattle Book Mama

I had never read a novel by Kate Quinn, but my friends on Goodreads raved about it and I was overcome by the fear of missing out. Happily, I was not too late to get a review copy; my thanks go to NetGalley and William Morrow, along with my apologies for lateness. From the get…

Good Dirt, by Charmaine Wilkerson***** | Seattle Book Mama

Charmaine Wilkerson is the author of the massively successful Black Cake. Her sophomore effort, Good Dirt, carries some of the same components—an impending marriage, a family heirloom, secrets and betrayals—but is nevertheless a very different story, and it’s an even better one. My thanks go to Random House Ballantine and NetGalley for the invitation to…
