Today’s Big Deal at Kindle UK is the first seven of Simon Scarrow’s Cato/Macro (Eagles of the Empire) books for £0.99 each. As I’ve mentioned in other posts, I’ve really really enjoyed this series over the years, starting from back when I used to pick up the paperbacks on business trips in the UK because

A bit of a departure from a traditional Francis horse-thriller… Felix Francis has done a very nice job continuing his father’s horse-themed mysteries, and if you only read the blurb on its webpage, Iced seems to be just another one of these. Iced is actually a bit more than that, though, as it bounces back

Simon Brett’s Mrs Pargeter series is my second-favorite of his series, after the Blotto & Twinks books. And now it seems that Brett must have gotten the rights back to some of the early titles, because the first four have come out in Joffe Books e-book editions. Which is a good thing, since Joffe tends

Did she do it then? Or now? Or both? Or neither? I remember reading Something Wicked as a tattered paperback from my local used bookstore a few decades ago, but that paperback is now long lost. So I was really happy to receive a publisher’s copy in e-book to review for my blog. Even

I’ve liked Sara Rosett’s Ellie Avery series, but have never read any books in her Kate Sharp series. They sound fun though, since Kate is a Jane Austen aficionado, and I too (along with lots of other folks) am an Austen fan. Now here is Death in a Stately Home, the third book in the

Simply fun… It’s hard to say which is more enjoyable – Kerry Greenwood’s note at the beginning of this collection of short stories, letting readers in on how she “discovered” The Honourable Phryne Fisher, or the short stories themselves. Both are delightful. And I was amused to find that the author thinks of Phryne as

Evans Above is the first title in Rhys Bowen’s first series, the Evan Evans series. It’s a fun cozy series that I read mostly in DTB*, which is a good thing because the e-books in the US run $11.99 each, having gone UP from $7.99 a while back. Which is insane for very old (late

Set in Morocco… I’m always interested in mysteries set in unusual (to me, at least) locations, and Morocco certainly is that. So I was excited to receive a review copy of The Butcher of Casablanca, and I enjoyed it, although it had some issues. To start with the good, author Abdelilah Hamdouchi does a very

A quick fun read for Parker fans to enjoy… In addition to his own mysteries, Mike Lupica has written follow-on books in two of Robert B Parker’s sometimes-linked series: the Sunny Randall series and the Jesse Stone series. Right now, however, Jesse and Sunny are taking a “time-out”, and so Lupica’s latest book, Revenge Tour,
