Several years ago, I was quite taken with The 13th Fellow, by Tracy Whiting, featuring Havilah Gaie as the protagonist. It’s a little more chick-lit-y than I usually like, but there’s enough academic snark in there to balance out, IMO. And also, as I mention from time-to-time on this blog, I’m a huge Francophile, so I

Based on its blurb, I’m not totally sure about The Lost Apothecary, by Sarah Penner, as a mystery, but it’s also listed in SYKM, and that’s good enough for me. And it’s on sale right now at Kindle UK for £0.99, and it sounds pretty good, and its US blurb claims it was a New

A promising debut novel that kept me up late… Liquid Shades of Blue is a promising first book from author James Polkinghorn. It’s a bit rough in places, but kept me reading much later into the night than I should have – not so much trying to figure out what happened (the outlines of which

I happened to hover over the Prime tab on my Amazon US home page this morning, and found an offer for a $5 credit if I buy $50 worth of e-gift cards. It’s billed as a “Mothers Day” offer, but I don’t see any specific time frame actually mentioned. I have sent myself a $50

It’s hard to believe that The Net of Steel is Fiona Buckley’s twenty-second Ursula Blanchard (now Ursula Stannard) mystery, and the series is still going strong.
