Magic Men #1. Altogether charming mystery set in Brighton, England in 1950. Unique cast of characters, mystery kept me gues..."
I just bought this book when audible had its 1/2 price sale. I loved her Ruth Galloway series and wanted to try this. Glad to see you enjoyed it.

Enjoy, one of the best entries in the Scudder series.

The Barbarous Coast by Ross Macdonald. Not the best in the series but still deserves a look see from the noir fan. Rating - 3/5

Ah. Now you'll have to read his The Inugami Clan aka The Inugami Curse, then watch the 1976 film.

Dr. Siri Paiboun #6. Another visit, in 1978, with Dr. Siri, the 73-year-old national coroner of Laos. I'm reading these in order and I always enjoy them but this one wasn't the best, maybe because we know from very early on who is the murderer. 3 stars.

This isn't a link to your review.


A mediocre novelist goes nuts and decides to kill three women and write a book about it, thinking this will be a best seller.
The plot's a bit wacky. 2.5 stars

Thanks Barbara. I'll correct that.


My Review:www.goodreads.com/review/show/3150523133


I like Simenon's mysteries. Low-key (not a lot of bloody scenes and shooting) but atmospheric....with interesting investigations.


Former journalist Tess Monaghan is getting along with several part time jobs when a friend asks her to investigate his fiancé. This leads to a murder and to Tess trying to clear her friend's name.
This is the debut novel in Lippman's popular PI series. Good story. 3 stars.

A solid series.


Here's my four star review:

In this 10th book in the 'Myron Bolitar' series the former basketball star, and current proprietor of MB Reps, is enlisted to help a retired tennis player.
Not the author's best effort. 2.5 stars
