I’ve quite enjoyed Deryn Lake’s John Rawlings historical mystery series over the years, and the individual titles go on sale pretty often. But there are also four omnibuses that comprise all of the sixteen titles in the series, four per omnibus. And right now, three of those four omnibuses (the first, second and fourth) are […]

A very enjoyable police procedural set in Kuala Lumpur… Having read and really enjoyed the first book in Rozland Mohd Noor’s Inspector Mislan series, I was happy to receive an advance review copy of the second book in the series, DUKE: Inspector Mislan and the Expressway Murders. And I was even happier to find that
A Rare Interest In Corpses, apa The Companion, is the first in the Lizzie Martin/Inspector Ross series by Ann Granger. I’ve read and liked some of Granger’s Mitchell and Markby series, but oddy enough, given my propensity for historical mysteries, I’ve never found my way to Granger’s Martin/Ross series.

Today’s Big Deal at Kindle UK is seventeen (count ’em) books in the Horrible Histories series by Terry Deary for £1.29 each. I used to buy these on business trips to the UK, and bring them back to read to my son – and, who am I fooling – to enjoy myself too, while reading

The Gideon Oliver series by Aaron Elkins is one of my favorite series. The combination of forensic science (which Elkins takes quite seriously) and some ingenious plots makes for some very enjoyable reading. Oliver’s interactions with his sidekicks are a treat – especially when he states something definitively, just to reverse himself, and maybe even

Most of the books in Donna Leon’s excellent Commissario Brunetti series, set in Venice, go on sale a lot, so I don’t tend to post them. Today, however, the most recent book in the series, Trace Elements, has dropped to $2.99 as part of today’s US Kindle Daily Deal (March 6, 2021). (At least it’s

Joan Wolf is one of a very few current romance writers I follow – i.e. writers other than Georgette Heyer and Mary Stewart :-). And she’s probably my favorite among them. She writes both historical and modern-day romances. One of her historical romances, His Lordship’s Desire, has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.
