A fun airplane or beach book… I tend to think of Jeri Westerson as an author of historical mysteries set in medieval England, since I’ve read and enjoyed many books in her Crispin Guest and Will Somers series. But I’m aware that she writes in other genres too, and was interested to learn that she […]

Lots of fun, but the ending is way too abrupt… Only Hard Problems is the third “book” in Jennifer Estep’s Galactic Bonds series, written from the point of view of one of the previous apparent villains, Zane Zimmer. And it is a lot of fun to get into Zane’s head, and find out he’s much

So I was intrigued by the possibilities for Kathryn Lasky’s new

Back to Posadas County… I’ve been a fan of Steven F Havill’s Posadas County mysteries for years, and Perfect Opportunity is the newest in the series. And it’s just as enjoyable as all the previous books. To start with, there’s an off-beat plot that originates with a series of seemingly unconnected incidents – but in

A classic middle book… Like many folks who read Nora Roberts’ Inheritance, which is the first in the Lost Brides trilogy, I liked that book a lot, until it ended on what was, to me, a totally unacceptable cliff-hanger. So I’ve been waiting for the next book to come out, in an somewhat annoyed, but
