"Someone’s killing Drag Kings, and Sammy’s been conscripted into finding the killer. His reward? Housing. Yeah, some things are timeless."

Will Duke, Information Systems Manager, recommends Razmatazz by Christopher Moore.

Sammy “Two-Toes” Tiffin is back in the sequel to Christopher Moore’s sequel Noir. Now, if you haven’t read Noir, go do that right now. I’ll wait. 

Okay, good book, right? Well, you’re in for more of the same in Razzmatazz. 

Eddie’s back trying to start a driving school with his girlfriend, while his crazy uncle is trying to save his opium den business while hiding from the Tongs long enough to get Sammy to retrieve the dragon to appease them.

There’s a new top cop in town and he’s got an agenda. Unfortunately, that agenda isn’t to find the murderer. Murderer? Yeah, someone’s killing Drag Kings, and Sammy’s been conscripted into finding the killer. His reward? Housing. Yeah, some things are timeless...

Hello! My name is Simi. I love reading because it lets me travel to other places and times that I wouldn’t otherwise see. I also love to play lacrosse and hockey, and write. For my Book Beat review, I read The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin.

The Last Bookshop in London is a heartbreaking yet hopeful book set in the streets of London during World War Two.

It follows Grace Bennet, a hardworking woman who has suffered the loss of her mother, as she moves from small town Drayton to the bustling city of London.

In an attempt to find a job without a letter of recommendation, Mrs. Weatherford...gets Grace a job in a rundown bookstore with a grouchy owner. Grace, previously oblivious to the wonders of books, falls in love with the books, the bookstore, and even grouchy old Mr. Evens...who, as it turns out, isn’t that grouchy after all...
