Kate’s 2¢: “Merder In the Dark” by Margaret Atwood

“Murder in the dark short fictions and prose poems” by Margaret Atwood

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

Kate’s 2¢: “Death In Cold Water” by Patricia Skalka

“Death In Cold Water” by Patricia Skalka

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   With so many male characters, I think I’d like to hear a male reader.
