My two favorite Charlie Cochrane historical cozy mysteries combined for this all new series that begins with a cold case from Jonty’s past. I was eager for this coziest of cozy mysteries in the authentic historical setting of post WWII England with two pairs of amateur detecting teams working together to solve the case. As […]
In fall of 2023, I first read this book out of order as a new release for the New Hercule Poirot Mysteries series. I vowed then and there I was going back for the whole series and chose to borrow them as audios from the library. I made good on this series reading binge […]
I never know what I’ll get when reading a fantasy book. The Teller of Small Fortunes was described as cozy and that seems right. There isn’t a big war. The setting seemed rather historical as much fantasy does. Our heroine, Tao, has a wagon with her treasured mule, as she travels around Eshtera. She is […]
A famous writers’ Detection Club comes to a local village to raise funds to repair and orphanage and judge the local Murder Club short story contest only for everyone to be faced with a real murder in need of solution. The second Phyllida Bright mystery builds on the strength of the first one with the […]
I discovered this author earlier this year when I was looking for lawyer series. I LOVED his Robin Lockwood series and hope to continue reading it soon. When I saw this new standalone, I was thrilled to read it. The main character Charlie Webb is a regular, good guy. He’s not too smart or too […]
I was looking at series we might listen to for #SeriesInAMonth, and after trying this first book, it is the series I will be reading.

I whole-heartedly love the characters and stories in the DC Smith series. I don’t suppose one would have to read them in order but there is a lot of history, personal growth, and world building one would miss. Plus nearly every book is a 5 heart winner. The tip to amazing may be the stellar […]
A middle-aged couple are hosting a country house party, a dead body is found on her library rug. Does this set up sound familiar? Oh, yes it does and that middle-aged couple? None other than Agatha Christie and her archeologist husband, Max Mallowan. Of course I had to read Colleen Cambridge’s mystery series set in […]
When Jane Austen’s delightful Matchmaker stumbles on a body, Emma finds a new interest to devote her time. Vanessa Kelly has written some engaging historical romantic suspenses, but I was over the top thrilled when she took up her pen to write a murder mystery and sequel set in the world of Jane Austen’s Emma. […]
I have loved everything I have read from Robert Dugoni. The series I’ve read are all mysteries of some sort: a police procedural, a spy thriller and now a legal thriller. Beyond Reasonable Doubt is the next in the Keera Duggan series. The setting is Seattle, as some of his other series and we have […]
