E-books published by Open Road don’t usually go on sale at decent prices in the UK, but now here is Tuesday the Rabbi Saw Red, by Harry Kemelman, on sale for £1.99 at Kindle UK. It’s the fifth title in Kemelman’s Rabbi Small series. This is an older series, but I think it has aged well, […]

a really nice series starter…. This is my first book by Tara Moss, who has previously written another series featuring a protagonist with a Canadian/Australian background, much like Moss’s own. The War Widow, however, appears to be the start of a new historical series for Moss, and I hope that’s the case, because I enjoyed

A Private Cathedral is the most recent (2020) in the Dave Robicheaux series by James Lee Burke. It has dropped to $4.99 at Kindle US, as part of the Daily Deal today, December 30, 2020, matched at Kobo US. This is not a great sale price – I like $1.99 or $2.99 better! But considering that it has

a very nice, tightly written, series starter… I’m a big fan of police (or PI) procedurals and often not so much a fan of noir. But I really liked Max Tomlinson’s blend of the two in Vanishing in the Haight. First, I very much enjoyed Tomlinson’s writing, which I found to be crisp and concise

In the US, at least,

Murder Fantastical is the seventh in the Henry and Emmy Tibbett series by Patricia Moyes. It’s on sale right now at Kindle US for $1.99. This series is one of my top ten or fifteen favorite series, and this is one of my favorite books in the series, mostly because I enjoy the Manciple family.

Some things to think about while also solving a mystery… SJ Rozan tackles two difficult topics in her most recent Lydia Chin/Bill Smith entry, The Art of Violence. The first, as might be guessed from the book’s title, is the nature of art – or maybe the nature of Art, **with** the capital letter. And

Much more than a traditional thriller…. Thrillers are often not my thing, so I’m still not quite sure why I picked up A Long Night in Paris and started reading it, ahead of all the other books in my “to be read” pile. But I’m glad I did. I think I was originally pulled in

I loved this early aviation mystery…. I’ve been noticing the books in the Lady Hardcastle series, by TE Kinsey, for quite a while, both because I like historical mysteries, and because I like the covers. Sorry – I do know I’m not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but – there it is,
