The Widowmaker

I read the first book in the Black Harbor series a few years back and remember loving the deary atmospheric feel of the book. I was surprised to find that our lead characters in the second installment were different from the first, and that the characters from Hello, Transcriber we hardly mentioned. For such a…

When I’m Dead

When I’m Dead is the newest installment in the Black Harbour series. As each book focuses on a different couple, these books don’t need to be read in order and can be read as standalones. However, as with many series like this, you get the most out of them when you read them in order….

The Professor

I didn’t realize that while it’s not a part of a series per say, The Professor is the second book featuring Marlitt Kaplan. If you’d like to read the books in order than pick up Lauren Nossett’s The Resemblance first than more on to The Professor. However, I have yet to read The Resemblance, and…
