A few months ago, I ended up binge-reading AJ Lancaster’s Stariel series, on the recommendation of @worktolive on the MobileRead forums. This fantasy series is in Kindle Unlimited, so if you have a KU subscription, you too can binge-read it for free! If you don’t have KU, or just want to buy anyway if they […]

There seems to be a coupon code, “partners”, available at Kobo right now that gives 40% off on “discountable” books. Coupon codes at Kobo can be frustrating because only some books are discountable. In general, books from the big publishers, like Harper Collins or Simon & Schuster, are not discountable. But books from smaller/independent presses

It’s hard to know quite how to describe <em>The Pig Trilogy </em> by Joseph Caldwell. It’s part cozy mystery, part comedy, part something… In any case, I enjoyed it a lot, although I wouldn’t pay full price for the box set (usually $16.49), or pay for the titles individually (also quite expensive). But now you

Holmes and Watson in Egypt – what a treat… Nicholas Meyer has been “editing” the posthumous memoirs of John H Watson, MD, for decades, albeit rather sporadically, starting with The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, which came out in 1974, and won a Gold Dagger Award. Now he’s come out with a fifth rip-roaring Holmes and Watson tale,

I’ve read and liked several books in Vaseem Khan’s Baby Ganesh Agency Investigations series, but haven’t yet read the first book in his Persis Wadia series, Midnight at Malabar House – even though, per SYKM, it won the 2021 Historical Dagger. And now here is the second in the series, The Dying Day, already on

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited (KU) program, it’s a monthly subscription program that lets you borrow books for free (other than the subscription fee, of course), read them, and return them. Until recently, you could be reading 10 KU books at a time, but that number has now gone

What a fun, fun book… The Sherlock Holmes stories were some of the first mysteries I graduated to after Encyclopedia Brown and Nancy Drew, and I loved them. But I’ve always felt that a lot of Holmes pastiches (Laurie R King’s Mary Russell series aside) fall a little flat. So I was very pleasantly surprised

I’ve really enjoyed Chris Ewan’s Good Thief’s Guide series, about a mystery writer and professional thief who bounces around Europe and gets involved in some dicey and humorous situations. Right now, all five of the series titles (Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Vegas, Venice) are available in an omnibus in the UK, which has just dropped to
