A nice continuation in the series… I’m a big fan of historical mysteries, and I also like that dry British sense of humor (humour), so I was happy to get a chance to read a review copy of A Witness to Murder, which is the third book in Verity Bright’s Lady Eleanor (Ellie) Swift series. […]

This e-book reissue of a 36-year-old mystery is still fun to read…. I had read the eight books in this series in paperback, back when they were written, in the 1980s and 1990s, and liked them all. Now, I am happy to have received a review copy of a new e-book version of the first

A “modern” classic British murder mystery… I’m a fan of classic British murder mysteries, and of historical murder mysteries. So I was happy to get a chance to read a review copy of this “modern” version of a classic British murder mystery, which is the first in Verity Bright’s Lady Eleanor Swift series. Although written

Worth the read, but room for improvement… Off the Air caught my attention as a Tony Hillerman prize-winner, and the blurb sounded interesting too, so I was happy to receive a review copy. For me, however, Off the Air didn’t fully live up to its promise. First, the good. I enjoyed the mystery itself, which

Make sure you read the footnotes at the end… It feels a bit odd to be saying “make sure you read the footnotes” when talking about a space opera, since I, at least, tend to think of footnotes as dull comments, usually in print that is too small to read, found at the end of

A quick and fun read – great for a summer vacation… I’ve read a few books by Ashley Weaver, and have enjoyed them, but hadn’t read any in her Electra (Ellie) McDonnell series. So I was happy to receive a review copy of Locked in Pursuit, which is the fourth and most recent title. And

Just buy it and read it – you’ll love it… Sanctuary opens humorously, with mysteriously missing Christmas cookies and eggnog. Although the protagonist, Roman, explains to us in detail why Santa can’t exist, perhaps he really does, and has made an unexpected visit? (Sadly for St. Nick fans, the explanation is more prosaic…) Things escalate

Don’t read this LOL-inducing book around other people… When I was offered a review copy of Dead Tired, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But what I found was a nicely plotted mystery with a lot of enjoyable moments of snark. I missed the first book in the series, during which, apparently, Alice’s group
