London at the turn of the (last) century… I had never heard of Kenneth Cameron’s Denton series, which was a little surprising to me, since I am a big fan of historical mysteries. But I am fond of several other Felony & Mayhem Press authors, so I was happy to receive a review copy of […]

LOL funny all the way through… I have been quite fond of Simon Brett’s earlier books, especially the Mrs. Pargeter series. So I was intrigued by his Blotto & Twinks series, which looked to be a little different in style – and it was – a lot. The first book in the series, Blotto, Twinks,

Smooth and easy to read… I had read and really enjoyed the previous book in this series, The Last Scoop, and so I was happy to also receive an advance review copy of Beyond the Headlines. And I wasn’t disappointed – the things I had enjoyed in the earlier book were all also present in

A fun collection of early mystery short stories… Besides being a genuine Hungarian baroness (!), Baroness Orczy is probably best known as the author of the Scarlet Pimpernel books and stories, the first of which was a hit on the London stage, and several of which were made into movies. (And which I loved as

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

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

An investigative journalist goes back to her roots…. I have read and enjoyed a few other books by RL Belsky, so I was happy to be offered a review copy of The Last Scoop, which is the most recent in his newest Clare Carlson series. (The most recent at least until May, when the next

Really sad to see this great series coming to an end… I have very much enjoyed Andrea Camilleri’s Inspector Montalbano series, starting back in the early 2010s when I first discovered it and binge read all of the titles that were already available. After that, of course, I had to wait (not very patiently) as

Another great title in the Inspector Montalbano series… Note: I’ve been a huge fan of Andrea Camilleri’s Inspector Montalbano series for years, and I was actually reading an advance review copy of The Other End of the Line when I heard that Camilleri had passed away in July, 2019. The Other End of the Line

I’ve read and enjoyed several books in Deanna Raybourn’s Lady Julia Grey series, but have never read any titles in her Veronica Speedwell series. So I was glad to have a chance to read a review copy of the fifth and most recent title in the series, A Murderous Relation. A Murderous Relation is an
