True Crime Tuesday - Accused




3.5🌟


"When Elizabeth Andes was found bound, stabbed, and strangled in her Ohio apartment in 1978, police and prosecutors decided within hours it was an open-and-shut case."

I received Accused free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The book is comprised of transcripts from a podcast the authors did based on the murder, and includes interviews with some key players in the victim's life, as well as a few of the investigators who actually agreed to talk about the case.  Unfortunately this wasn't many, as all the investigators thought they knew who had murdered Elizabeth right away. They were disgusted when not one, but TWO separate juries found the suspect not guilty. The case soon went cold. When Amber & Amanda decide to dive into the case, they realized there were multiple other potential subjects. However, none of them can ever be tested against forensic evidence, as it has all somehow managed to vanish... I enjoyed reading this one, though it is sad that Elizabeth's family may never have the answers & closure they so desperately desire (and deserve).

Batman: Nightwalker

Bruce Wayne is a senior in HS when we first meet him in this story. His best friends are Diana and Harvey Dent. Since his parents died, it has been up to Bruce to continue their annual gala where they contribute to different charities. This year's gala is different though... it's held on Bruce's birthday, on which he decides to go for a ride in one of Wayne Tech's exotic new cars. Unfortunately he rides straight into a path that ends up leading him to a sentence of working the summer at Arkham. While there, he encounters the mysterious Madeline. She's more trouble than Bruce realized. 4/5🌟 Rating I'm really enjoying this series so far. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Catwoman!

5🌟 ♪Who-o-oa, Vampirina... Coolest ghoul in the human wo-or-orld ♪ We LOVED this Little Golden Book adaptation of one of the episodes from the Disney Jr series. It's got two of LO's favorite things... Vampirina herself AND a baby. Vampirina is recruited to help babysit when her aunt comes to town with baby Nosferatu. Her dad is too busy watching the fangball championship featuring his favorite team, The Trolls. Vampirina should have it handled... after all, how much trouble could a baby vampire be???

The Woman In The Window

You guys, I'm ashamed to say it took me so long to read this book. I had started it a couple of times but never really got past the first 40 pages or so. Since I was already in a slump, I decided to give it another go and took the plunge. Check out this blurb from Goodreads, and then my review. 👀📸🍷👀📸🍷👀📸🍷👀📸🍷👀📸🍷 Anna Fox lives alone—a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times . . . and spying on her neighbors. Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, a mother, their teenage son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn’t, her world begins to crumble—and its shocking secrets are laid bare. What is real? What is imagined? Who is in danger? Who is in control? In this diabolically gripping thriller, no one—and nothing—is what it seems. 👀📸🍷👀📸🍷👀📸🍷👀📸🍷👀📸🍷 Y'al...
