A series starter that makes me want to read the rest of the series… I’m a huge fan of historical mysteries, and I’m not too picky about either the when or the where. So I was very happy to find a new author (new to me, at least), AM Stuart, with a new series, set

The Beekeeper’s Apprentice is the first in the Laurie R. King’s excellent (IMO) Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes series. I’ve really liked a lot of the books in this series, especially the ones where Holmes and Russell are caught up in the Great Game rivalries of the time. This book goes on sale pretty often in the UK,

Based on a recommendation in the Science Fiction/Fantasy thread at the MobileRead forums, I just picked up and read A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher. It’s a young adult title, and I’m not a young adult (!!!), but I do enjoy some YA books from time to time. And this was one of them. Overall

A wild ride of a thriller, with a few minor flaws… Pushkin Press has made a bit of a business translating foreign-language mysteries into English and I tend to enjoy reading mysteries written from an international point of view. So I was happy to receive an advance reading copy of The Second Life of Inspector

Enemies at Home is the second in the spin-off Flavia Albia series by Lindsey Davis, where the protagonist is Falco’s adopted daughter, following in her dad’s footsteps as a private informer. I’m not always a fan of spin-off series, but I’ve quite liked this one. And we get cameos from Falco and other characters! Oh
