Cutthroat Dogs is the 29th in Loren D Estleman’s Amos Walker series. At least per the blurb – I didn’t count myself on SYKM . It’s $2.99 right now in the US. I read a bunch of the early titles in this series years ago, and enjoyed them, but haven’t read any of the recent ones, so

I’ve long been quite fond of the four humorous/ghostly mysteries by Manning Coles – a pen name for Cyril Henry Coles and A.K.O. (Adelaide Frances Oke) Manning. Three of them are the books in the too-short James and Charles Latimer series, and one is a stand-alone. They’ve been on my “wish they were e-books” list

Louise Fitzhugh’s Harriet the Spy is $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. I remember reading and really liking this book as a kid. Note this is the 50th Anniversary edition – there is another version not on sale. The blurb page also says it’s the first of four in the series – I didn’t know

I have fond, although somewhat hazy, memories of liking several of the books in Robert Richardson’s Augustus Maltravers series back in “real-paper book” days.

A welcome new addition to the Cambio Springs series After a looooong eight-year gap, Elizabeth Hunter has written another Cambio Springs book, and I, for one, am quite happy she has. Like the other books in the series, Dust Born is a smooth-reading blend of mystery, romance, and urban fantasy. Although, if we’re honest, the

I never thought I’d read an Ilona Andrews horror story, but here you go… Apparently many years ago, IA wrote a slasher-style short story for a nameless magazine’s Horror/Halloween issue, but it didn’t get published. And they resurrected it just now as a treat for their blog readers. There are a few spoilers in the

I’ve read several of Elizabeth Hunter’s books, and my favorites definitely are the books in her Cambio Springs series, which, although they are technically romances, in my mind are also a very enjoyable mix of urban fantasy (actually, I suppose, desert fantasy) and mystery. And right now, per an email from the author, the newest

Read These Banned Books: A 52-Week Reading Challenge from the American Library Association appears to be, from looking at its sample, pretty much what its title says it is. I’m not sure I’m up for a banned book each and every week, but there sure are some good ones in the list. Maybe I’ll take
