I really hope this is the first in a series! Murder in Old Bombay is author Nev March’s first mystery, and it’s a very nice one. Set during the British Raj, the book weaves seamlessly into and around the real events, locations and attitudes of the time. The story begins while Captain Jim Agnihotri

a very nice, tightly written, series starter… I’m a big fan of police (or PI) procedurals and often not so much a fan of noir. But I really liked Max Tomlinson’s blend of the two in Vanishing in the Haight. First, I very much enjoyed Tomlinson’s writing, which I found to be crisp and concise

In the US, at least,

Murder Fantastical is the seventh in the Henry and Emmy Tibbett series by Patricia Moyes. It’s on sale right now at Kindle US for $1.99. This series is one of my top ten or fifteen favorite series, and this is one of my favorite books in the series, mostly because I enjoy the Manciple family.
