I've enjoyed all the Graham Brack novels I've read so far, and the second in the Master Mercurius historical mystery series is another winner. Untrue till Death takes place in the Netherlands in the 17th century, full of murder and intrigue with the author's trademark humour.

I do wish netgalley would work out the bugs in their shelf app. The book kept freezing up on me.
This was on NetGalley earlier, and #2 in the series is there for request now.Interviewing The Dead by David Field is the first in his Carlyle & West Victorian Mystery Series. London, 1892, ghosts of plague victims - what?? A doctor and a preacher join forces to investigate.

Here's my review for
The Last Campaign by Martin L. Shoemaker, a mystery set in a colony on Mars. It was enjoyable but didn't quite tick all the scifi or mystery boxes for me.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Watch Her Vanish by Ellery A. Kane, a psychological thriller with a creepy plot that I enjoyed, but had trouble liking the main characters, a detective and a psychologist who both had that overused cliche of tortured pasts they were running away from. review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Brooding? No. Atmospheric? No. Suspenseful? Mildly, in parts. Interesting? Yes, like a car wreck you can't look away from.
