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

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,

Robert B. Parker’s Killing the Blues is the first in Michael Brandman’s continuation of Robert B. Parker’s Jesse Stone series, which has had continuation novels published by three different authors. As I’ve said before, I’m sometimes not all that impressed by continuations, but I’ve thought the ones I’ve read by Brandman, and also those by Reed Farrell Coleman and Mike Lupica,
