A really good psychological thriller. I just wish I liked psychological thrillers… I had never read anything by JT Ellison, mostly because I’m not a huge fan of psychological thrillers. But I had heard a lot of good things about Ellison’s writing, so when I was offered a review copy of Good Girls Lie by […]

A Royal Pain is the second in the Lady Georgie/Royal Spyness series by Rhys Bowen. This series, featuring Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, 34th in line for the English throne, is almost terminally cute, but somehow I still really like it – it’s a lot of lighthearted fun. A Royal Pain has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and

Although it wasn’t his first series, the Domesday Book series was the first of Edward Marston’s many series that I read, and it’s still my favorite of his. I have very fond memories of buying the early paperbacks in this series on business trips to the UK, and then pretty much reading them all on

The Second Mouse is the 17th in the Joe Gunther series by Archer Mayor, a series I’ve mentioned before I think is a pretty nice police procedural series. It is free right now (19 January 2021) at Kindle UK, but not at Kindle US, where it looks like a different edition (Mysterious Press) and it’s $9.99.

A smooth as silk mystery that kept me reading late into the night… I am not fond of psychological thrillers. And so, having read somewhere that Jonathan Kellerman’s main character in his main series is a psychologist, Alex Delaware, I just sort of wrote the series off, assuming that these were psychological thrillers. And you

An engaging historical mystery… I am a big fan of historical mysteries, and I have had my eye on EM Powell’s books for a while. But I had not yet read any of them. So I was happy to be offered a review copy of the most recent title in Powell’s Aelred Barling/Hugo Stanton series,

I wish the author had been able to write more mysteries before he died… The Conjure-Man Dies is a piece of history: its introduction says it’s the first detective novel written by an African-American. That tends to put it under a bright spotlight, and might make it hard for the book to live up to

The Scarlet Ruse is the 14th in the Travis McGee series by John D. MacDonald. It’s on sale for $1.99 today, as part of today’s US Kindle Daily Deal, matched at Kobo US. Travis McGee titles usually run $10 and up in the US, so it’s nice to see one on sale. I don’t have much
I’ve had my eye on Tania Bayard’s medieval series for a while, since I saw it recommended somewhere (can’t remember where), and also noticed it’s published by Severn House, who publish a lot of my favorite historical mysteries. But books in the series are mostly pretty pricy when not on sale. Now the first title, In
