Crime on the Fens was an excellent start to the DI Nikki Galena series by Joy Ellis. I'm in!/review/show...
You know that guy you haven't seen for a while and you ask, "Hey, Bob - what've you been up to?" and he always has a funny anecdote about his latest venture? That's Aussie writer Robert Skinner, and he's put his stories together in I'd Rather Not: Essays. Best enjoyed separately, like letters from a friend.

Black Diamond by Martin Walker is another enjoyable cosy mystery in this series set in rural France featuring Bruno, Chief of Police who loved food, wine and the lifestyle of the town he lives in.review: /review/show...
The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou by Eleni Kyriacou
A historical crime drama based on an actual incident in the 1950s. I had a great time reading this.

The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer is a lovely book about books and the role they can play in the lives of children, especially those who need a fantasy world to escape from the harsh realities of their lives.review: /review/show...
Fans have been waiting a while to see what author Graham Brack's Captain Josef Slonský has been up to, and I was glad to seem him back in (limping) action in Prague, solving the case of The Murdered Molls. Crime and humour - great mix.
My review of The Murdered Molls
In Shades of Death: Murder at the Court of Elizabeth I, historian Angela Ranson presents Catrin, an appealing, independent young heroine whom the Queen sends to investigate death threats. Great read for historical mystery lovers.
