And as Leigh Perry, she has more recently written the Family Skeleton series, featuring a skeleton named Sid. I haven’t tried this […]

Flavia Albia can be just as snarky as Falco… Sometimes I feel as if I’ve been hitting life’s milestones right along with Lindsey Davis’ original “informer”, Marcus Didius Falco, who seemed to be about the same age as I was when I first started reading that series. And now Falco has a daughter, Flavia Albia,

This claims it’s a mystery, although the cover and blurb look/sound more like a rom-com. But I was just caught by the concept of the “modern-day Tudor thing” – with billionaire Hank Tudor running Tudor Enterprises; the ex-wives (and current new wife) all carefully named after Henry XIII’s wives; Hank’s two kids, Lizzie and Teddy;

A wild and enjoyable trip… I loved Elizabeth Hunter’s Cambio Springs series, and have now started reading and enjoying some of her Elemental Universe books. So when I got a chance to skip to the most recent Elemental book, via a review copy of Tin God, I jumped on it. Tin God is described as

I remember reading The Poseidon Adventure by Paul Gallico back when I was a kid with a flashlight under the blankets. In, if I remember correctly, a Readers Digest condensed book version, since my parents subscribed to that. Now, several decades later, The Poseidon Adventure is $1.99 at Kindle US. I wonder if it will

Brunetti books always feel like coming home, even though I don’t live in Venice… In a series with thirty-three books (!!!), one could be forgiven for thinking that it would be hard to keep producing engaging books that draw readers in, while also making them think. But Donna Leon consistently pulls this off (see here
