Murder on Cold Street, the fifth book in Sherry Thomas’ acclaimed Lady Sherlock series picks up immediately where the previous book (The Art of Theft) left off, so if you haven’t read it yet, then you might want to wait to read this review until you have. In fact, there will probably be spoilers for…
The Deadly Hours is a multi-author anthology featuring four new historical novellas which revolve around a watch known as La Sirène. The timepiece, made from gold stolen from a church during a deadly raid, is said to be cursed as a result of the bloodshed surrounding it. But is the artifact truly to blame for…
I love historical mysteries with a good romance thrown in. That’s why I picked up Murder in the East End to review. But I made a critical error – the historical mysteries that I love are series mysteries that build on the story and add some new information to the character development with each book….
Narrated by Davina Porter If you haven’t read the previous books in the Sebastian St. Cyrseries, there will be spoilers in this review. Although I don’t recommend it, you could listen to Who Speaks for the Damned as a standalone. This review will not recap the earlier novels. It’s June 1814. Napoleon is newly defeated,…
The Last Protector is the fourth book in Andrew Taylor’s series of historical mysteries featuring James Marwood and Cat Lovett.

Bestselling historical romance author Callie Hutton makes a memorable cozy mystery debut with A Study in Murder (book one in the Victorian Book Club Mysteries). Hutton succeeds in crafting a compelling murder mystery featuring a captivating, fabulous woman detective that hooks readers with clever humor and a palpable undercurrent of romance. Lady Amy Lovell is…
I’ve read many historical mysteries this past year. Many have been awesome, some not so great. The Body in the Garden rates somewhere in between – a well-written mystery with clever twists but a little too slow-paced for my taste, and featuring a heroine I never warmed to. Lily Adler, a widow of three years,…
Narrated by Kirsten Potter and Brittany Pressley Nobody does the gothic/spooky suspense chiller quite like Simone St. James, and although I’ve missed her last couple of releases, I made a point of picking up The Sun Down Motel, which follows two different timelines as two different women find themselves caught up in the search for…
Narrated by Joel Leslie Cat Sebastian’s Hither, Page is book one in a series of mysteries set just after the Second World War in the sort of sleepy English village beloved of cosy mysteries and British detective series; a place in which all the inhabitants are in and out of each other’s business, gossip abounds…
Anna Lee Huber continues to deliver intriguing whodunits in A Stroke of Malice, the eighth book in the A Lady Darby Mystery series. I will go further and suggest that this may be the best book of the series so far! Lady Darby (Kiera Gage) and her husband and inquiry agent Sebastian Gage are enjoying…
