Joffe Books appear to have gotten the e-rights to V.C. Clinton-Baddely’s five Dr Davie books, first published in the 1960s – 1970s. (Per SYKM, the author’s full name is Victor Vaughan Reynolds Geraint Clinton-Baddeley. Whew!) I remember reading these in paperback, but don’t remember much other than a general pleasant memory of the short series.

The book that started the Kate Shugak series… Dana Stabenow’s A Cold Day for Murder is the first book in her Kate Shugak series, which now runs to more than 20 titles.

The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal is, per its blurb, a science-fictional twist on The Thin Man, and it’s on sale for $2.99 in the US. I’ve really liked some mysteries set in sci-fi settings, like Isaac Asimov’s Elijah Baley books, and Martha Wells’ Murderbot series. So I have my fingers crossed for this one!
