Andrea | 2206 comments Chinese-Canadian forensic accountant Ava Lee is a terrific character, and this series is proving to be pretty reliably good value so far. Here's my review for The Disciple of Las Vegas

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10038 comments Fifty Sheds of Grey by British author, C.T. Grey is a clever little parody of THOSE Grey books, takes no time to read, provides a few laughs, and would make the perfect gift for shed-loving dads.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10038 comments Collected Stories incorporates two previously published collections of short fiction by Australian author, Shirley Hazzard, as well as eight further stories separately published and two unpublished. A mixed bag that will appeal to some, but not every, reader. I’ve had my fill…

PattyMacDotComma | 3341 comments I read the 4th book in Charlie Garratt's Inspector James Given series, Where Every Man, and I'm sure readers of the earlier books would like this one, where he is facing the fast-approaching Nazis in France in 1938.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10038 comments While I sincerely hope that British author Graham Brack and his publisher Sapere Books haven't given up on his Josef Slonský series, I am thoroughly hooked on his Master Mercurius series and I can highly recommend book #4 The Noose's Shadow. Enormously entertaining, as always.
