Now it seems as if Sedley may have gotten back the rights to some of the earlier titles, since the first five books are recently out (2021) in e-book editions from

Excellent, but don’t try to read them all in a hurry… Reviewing an anthology of short stories, and especially short stories by different authors, can be difficult, since it’s likely that there will be some stories that will work for some readers, and some stories that won’t.

Shimura Trouble is the 10th in the Rei Shimura series by Sujata Massey. I’ve quite liked this series, which I mostly read long ago in DTB. Shimura has dropped to £1.99 at Kindle UK.

Light and fluffy and fun, although with zero nutritional value… Castle in the Air, first published in 1980, is one of Donald E Westlake’s caper books – a light-hearted and over-the-top adventure that may remind readers of the movie version of The Pink Panther, or maybe the movie version of Hopscotch. And, given that it

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.

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
