And Pearce, who was born in the early 1930s and raised in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, nails the historical background, complete with the

SJ Rozan’s latest Lydia Chin/Bill Smith title, Family Business, is a wonderful look at New York’s Chinatown, full of atmosphere and a strong sense of place. But it also addresses some complicated topics, starting on a small scale with Lydia’s own family dynamics, including her unstated “don’t ask/don’t tell” bargain with her very Chinese mother

A Drop of the Hard Stuff is the seventeenth in the Matthew Scudder series by Lawrence Block. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Block is probably better known for his Bernie Rhodenbarr/Burglars series, but I’ve read and liked many titles in the Scudder series as well. Buy at Kindle US |

Paul Kemprecos is probably better known for his collaboration with Clive Cussler on the thriller-ish NUMA files series, but I’ve always liked his Aristotle Plato Socarides (“Soc”, which nickname you’d probably use too if you had that name) series, which is a more traditional PI series. Now The Mayflower Murders, which is the fifth in

Where Eagles Dare is one of Alistair MacLean’s (many) classic titles, and although my favorites of his are a couple of his more obscure titles (The Way to Dusty Death and Caravan to Vaccares), I really like Where Eagles Dare too. And it’s just dropped to £0.99 at Kindle UK, probably as part of the
