A really nice historical mystery… I am a huge fan of historical mysteries, and so I was really happy to receive an advance review copy of Skelton’s Guide to Suitcase Murders, which is set in England in 1929-1930. Suitcase Murders (as I’m going to call it, because the title is too long to type all

I’m on Rosalind James’s mailing list, and she announced via email yesterday (Apr 25, 2021) that her new book in her Escape to New Zealand series, Just One Look, will be on pre-order sale for two days only.

The Cruelest Month is the third in the Chief Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny. I really really like this series – it’s a nice mix of police procedural (with a bit of an edge) and something a bit cozier. And I’m apparently not the only one to like it – per SYKM, almost every title in the
