  • The Friday Review: The Fur Trader’s Lady

    By Gabrielle Meyer As a kid, I loved reading books about the frontier and the fur trade. Sadly, there’s not a ton of good adult historical fiction on the subject, so I was eager to read this new release by Gabrielle Meyer. Lady Charlotte is on the run. An orphan, she is controlled by her…

  • The Friday Review: Yee Yee Apparel

  • The Friday Review: Written in Secret

    By Crystal Caudill Wow! This book was an absolute gem! Cincinnati is rocked with the shocking murders of criminals who, through connections, had escaped punishment. But what made these deaths so sensational is that they were predicted by the pen of the mysterious dime novelist, E. A. Dupin. With the city in an uproar, Officer…
