I honestly don’t remember who was the first to recommend Julia Spencer-Fleming’s Clare Fergusson/Russ van Alstyne series to me. but whoever it was, I have to say that I agree with them that these books are fabulous. Spencer-Fleming gives readers good mysteries, but more importantly, her characters are intelligently written and over the course of…
This is the third in the series of Ms Diener’s loosely connected romantic mysteries set in the Regency period and, as with the other two, it takes as its starting point an actual historical event – in this case the assassination of Spencer Perceval, the British Prime Minister, in 1812. The whole of society knows…
Narrated by Kelley Hazen There’s something super compelling about a good mystery. I love to get lost in them, staying up late into the night, holding my breath as the characters work to unravel whatever threads necessary to set their lives to right. Murder on Potrero Hill seemed like just such a book, so I was…
Narrated by Renee Raudman If you were to ask me what kind of mysteries I enjoy, I’m likely to tell you that I really enjoy those featuring serial killers. In fact, the more graphic the violence, the better I like it. Needless to say, I was a little skeptical when I began listening to Wanna…
I spent two short, wonderful holidays in Singapore, and my fond memories of the city revolve largely around its magnificent and diverse food scene. Aunty Lee’s Delights is a worthy mystery tribute to one of the world’s finest cities for eating. <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID = 4; var…
I’ve enjoyed Jeannie Lin’s China-set historicals so far and I was thrilled when I heard she would be writing single title as well. I went into The Lotus Palace expecting some element of suspense in the plot, but otherwise I had no idea what I would be getting into. As it turns out, it was…
After reading the first Monkeewrench book back in 2003, I couldn’t stop recommending the book with its brooding atmosphere, exceptional characters, and brilliant plotting. I faithfully followed the series though book four – released in 2006. However,by that time my enthusiasm had started to wane. I skipped book five but with my renewed interest in…
Since I know that romance readers read many other genres and also that many of you are pet and mystery lovers, I decided to review David Rosenfelt’s newest release Leader of the Pack. While Rosenfelt has settled into a pattern with his books, I am a pushover for a smart mouthed hero and Andy Carpenter…
This is the fourth in the Finley Anderson Tanner (F.A.T.) mystery series, but the first I’ve read. And I should add that it’s the last I’ll read. I like Chick Lit and I like mysteries, but the combination didn’t work for me here, probably because the mystery was practically invisible and the Chick Lit featured…
I used to read mysteries on a regular basis, until a particularly bad read did me in. Over the years, I have dipped my toes back into the genre, but it is difficult finding a book in that happy medium – having more than a friendly busybody amateur sleuth but less than serial killer mayhem….
