I'm currently reading
A Darker Domain by
Val McDermid (Karen Pirie #2) which I guess does qualify as historical fiction in part. It moves from the present to the 1980s as Inspector Pirie investigates a couple of cold cases.. Great story.

I'll definitely continue it, but I hope for a regular ending: [spoilers removed]"Slaughter likes to keep you on your toes, if I recall...

Adding a new series (2 books) to my Series lists - Dread Nation by
Justina Ireland, historical fiction meets zombies... Sounded interesting.

Great book and looking forward to more of this series."I hope to get back into the series this year, as well.

I'm slowly getting into it. Back story about the main character to start off... I like the writing style.

I'm not sure how to track this but I've reduced my
J.J. Marric holdings by one book with completing of
Gideon's March. I guess I'll keep amending as I either get new books in a series or reduce by reading a book...

7. A book with a person's name in the title.
