I haven’t read A Botanist’s Guide to Parties and Poisons by Kate Khavari, which is the first Saffron Everleigh mystery, with a second one coming next June. But it gets lots of points from me for the title, and it looks kind of fun, and it’s not self-pubbed, and it’s on sale for $1.99/£1.57 in
Wish You Were Here is the first in the Mary Minor Haristeen/Mrs Murphy series by Rita Mae Brown. It’s on sale in both the US ($2.99) and UK (£1.99) right now. The Kindle US and UK links are below, but I’m out of the country and having trouble connecting to Kobo via my VPN, so

I haven’t read My Cone and Only, by Susannah Nix, which is the first in her King Family series, but I’ve liked her Chemistry Lessons series a lot. And now My Cone is free at Kindle UK, but, kind of unusually, not at Kindle US. Maybe it’ll go free at Kindle US soon, so I’m including the link

I have never read a graphic novel, so take this all with a grain of salt… It turns out that the first of Ilona Andrews’ Innkeeper books, Clean Sweep, is now on an graphic novel app called Tapas. So I’m trying it, and kind of enjoying it. The artwork is really good, and not too

A bit disappointing… I have been a big fan of Lindsey Davis’ original Falco series and spin-off Flavia Albia books for years. I’ve enjoyed Falco’s snark, Helena Justina’s class, Falco and Helena Justina’s odd and happy partnership, Falco’s odder and somewhat hapless family, Helena Justina’s almost as hapless brothers, Flavia Albia’s own style of snark,

Aaron Elkins is, I think, best known for his wildly enjoyable IMO Gideon Oliver (forensic anthropology) series. But back in the late 1980s and early 1990s he wrote a short three book art-based series, the Chris Norgren series, which I also really liked. And right now the second and third books in the series are

Aaron Elkins is probably best known for his wildly enjoyable IMO Gideon Oliver (forensic anthropology) series, but he also writes a couple of art-themed series that I really like: the Chris Norgren series and the Alix London series. And Loot mixes the art background with the last throes of WW II to make an enjoyable
