The C.I.D Room is (not that surprisingly) the first in the C.I.D. Room series by Roderic Jeffries. It’s free right now (April 1, 2021) at Kindle US and UK. The titles in this series go free rarely, but often enough that if you have some patience (a couple of year’s worth), you can probably pick […]

A thought-provoking and enjoyable historical mystery… I had read and enjoyed a few of the early Sebastian St. Cyr books, back in the days when “book” pretty much meant “paper”. But somehow in my transition to reading almost exclusively e-books, I lost track of the series – until recently, that is, when I became aware

The Book of Three is the Newbery Award-winning first title in Lloyd Alexander’s classic and excellent children’s series, The Chronicles of Prydain.

Thoroughly enjoyable! I had read a few early titles in the Sebastian St. Cyr series by CS Harris, and liked them. So I was happy to receive an advance review copy of the latest title in the series, Who Speaks for the Damned, in exchange for my honest review. And, it turns out that I

I can’t figure out how I missed the first book in this series, because this series is so exactly my sort of thing – a well-written historical mystery in a slightly unusual (to me, at least) setting: Cracow in the waning years of the 19th century. In the 1890s, Cracow was a part of the

As I’ve mentioned before, Elizabeth Peters is probably best known for her long and wonderful Amelia Peabody series. But I’m actually a teeny bit fonder of both of her shorter and lesser known series – the Vicky Bliss series and the Jacqueline Kirby series. Now (March 29, 2021) here is the first in the Jacqueline

Julie Smith’s books go on sale/free a lot, so I don’t usually post them. But sometimes I post the omnibuses when they go free, since they are such an easy way to pick up a lot of titles at once, if you don’t mind having them all in one volume. (Or are into splitting them
I am really quite fond of the Jonathan Argyll/Flavia di Stefano series by Iain Pears, which is one of my top ten or fifteen favorite series. (And I wish he’d write more in the series…) But Pears is, I think, much better known for his first non-series title, An Instance of the Fingerpost, which is
