The Postscript Murders is the second and most recent in the new Harbinder Kaur series by Elly Griffiths. Even though it’s still not even out yet in the US (coming in early March), it has gone on sale for £0.99 at Kindle UK as part of today’s Daily Deal. I love the way Kindle UK […]
Now I want to visit Brittany…. I’ve read a couple of the earlier titles in Jean-Luc Bannalec’s Georges Dupin series, set in Brittany, and have enjoyed them a lot. So I was happy to receive an advance review copy of Bannalec’s latest title to be translated into English – The Killing Tide. All of the

An enjoyable post-WWI mystery… Although I had read a couple of titles in Alyssa Maxwell’s Gilded Age series, I had not read any of the books in her Lady and Lady’s Maid series. So I was happy to receive an advance review copy of the latest title in the series, A Sinister Service, from the

Magic Rises is the sixth in the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. I originally binge read this series from my local libraries (give or take a hold or two that slowed up the binge), but have been slowly picking them up for myself when they
A Snapshot of Murder is the tenth in the Kate Shackleton series by Frances Brody. I’ve read some of the early titles in this series after they went on sale at Kindle UK a couple of years ago, and liked them, but I haven’t read this one. Snapshot is on sale for $1.99 at Kindle

Night Broken is the eighth in the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. Although I mostly read mysteries, I do read some urban fiction, and I’m slowly working my way through this series based on recommendations from another forum I belong to. The series was sort of slow to grab me, but because of the recommendations,

Another excellent Commissario Brunetti mystery… As usual, Donna Leon has given readers a wonderful mystery in Transient Desires, the thirtieth title in her Commissario Guido Brunetti series. On the face of it, the story starts out as a simple investigation: Who were the two men who sped away in a boat after dropping two badly

A really really good political spy novel, with thriller-ish moments… I don’t read many “thrillers” and I probably would have given Philip Kaplan’s Night in Tehran a miss, except that I read the author’s biography and got intrigued. It turns out Kaplan spent 27 years in the US Foreign Service, rising to the rank of

All three titles in the first of the Hidden Legacy trilogies by Ilona Andrews are on sale for $2.99 each at Kindle and Kobo US. I would say this is in honor of the next book in the series (part of the second trilogy) coming out, but that’s not going to be until 2022 –
Emperor of Japan: Meiji and His World, 1852–1912, by Donald Keene, is $1.99 as part of the US Kindle Daily Deal for January 22, 2021. For some reason, this caught my eye and looked interesting enough to become part of my non-fiction TBR pile – probably because it’s about a time/place I know very little
