A smooth as silk mystery that kept me reading late into the night… I am not fond of psychological thrillers. And so, having read somewhere that Jonathan Kellerman’s main character in his main series is a psychologist, Alex Delaware, I just sort of wrote the series off, assuming that these were psychological thrillers.

An engaging historical mystery… I am a big fan of historical mysteries, and I have had my eye on EM Powell’s books for a while. But I had not yet read any of them. So I was happy to be offered a review copy of the most recent title in Powell’s Aelred Barling/Hugo Stanton series,
