A nice mix of mystery and science fiction… I’m a big fan of mysteries, and I like to read mysteries set in places that are new to me – or in this case, imaginary places that are new to me! Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells fills that bill quite nicely. Our protagonist, Murderbot, is a […]

Ed McBain’s classic 87th Precinct series titles go on sale for $0.99 or $1.99 pretty often, but here are two for less than $0.99, which is much less common… Buy Killer’s Choice, #5 for only $0.24 (!!!! – I wish I didn’t already have it, just so I could buy it for this price!): Kindle

A Vow of Silence is the first in Veronica Black’s Sister Joan series. It is free right now at Kindle US and UK. I liked the early Sister Joan books I read in paper-book days, so I’m glad to see them coming out in e-book from Joffe Books, who do nice price drops (and freebies)

I still haven’t gotten around to reading my omnibus of Sookie Stackhouse books that went on sale in the UK a while back, but now (May 17, 2021) a collection of Sookie Stackhouse short stories has popped up there, on sale. The Complete Sookie Stackhouse Stories, by Charlaine Harris was at £10.99 for a long
I’ve read and enjoyed the first couple of books in Alyssa Maxwell’s Gilded Newport series. Now here is the sixth title, Murder at Ochre Court, on sale for $0.99/£0.99 at Kindle US/UK. You can also read my review of A Sinister Service, which is Maxwell’s latest title in her other (Lady and Lady’s Maid) series,

Robert Kroese’s Mercury series features a journalist, Christine Temetri, whose job it is to report on various purported End Times. She gets very complacent, because all of the supposed End Times turn out to be fake…until one day one turns out to be the real thing. And the real one comes complete with a very

The Quick Red Fox is the 4th in the classic (and awesome, IMO) Travis McGee series by John D. MacDonald. It has dropped to $2.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. The titles in this series very rarely go on sale in the US – this one was last on sale about 3 1/2 years ago.

Tracy Grant has written a very complicated historical series featuring first Charles and Mélanie Fraser, and then later Malcolm and Suzanne Rannoch, who are recognizably the same couple, but with different names, apparently due to some publisher disputes. And to make matters more confusing, probably due to the same dispute, some of the books were

I think Robert McCammon is much better known for his horror books, and horror is not really my thing. But on the MobileRead reading group, which is a pretty good group, someone gave a high recommendation for his lesser known Matthew Corbett historical series, and now here is the second book in that series, The

I’ve really enjoyed Ruth Downie’s too-short 8-book historical mystery series. It’s set mostly in Roman Britain, and features army doctor Gaius Petreius Ruso and his wife Tilla (who enters his life as a really sick – but also amazingly rude – slave girl, whom he somehow manages to keep alive). In fact, I enjoy Tilla’s
