My review for
Earthly Delights by Kerry Greenwood, the first in her cosy crime series featuring baker Corinna Chapmanhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Mick Herron, when interviewed about his latest spy thriller Slough House, recently said "I look at Jackson Lamb and think: My God, did I write that? My mother reads this stuff!" Well, on behalf of mothers and grandmothers everywhere, I say - Keep up the good work!

February is Black History Month. Alexander McCall Smith is a white author who created the wonderful Mma Ramotswe in Botswana and The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. She features in The Cleverness of Ladies, a lovely little novella.

4.5 stars for this amazing contemporary novel by an Aussie Author
Honeybee by Craig SilveyMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A Suspicion of Silver is the latest (#9) in the terrific Sir Robert Carey historical mystery series set in Elizabethan England. P.F. Chisholm simply cannot leave us with that cliffhanger ending! 
4.5★ Link to my review of A Suspicion of Silver
Alexander McCall Smith offers a monthly short story on his website. I got a kick out of February's Doctors, Detectives, Common Sense, about the "traditionally-built" Mma Ramotswe, the founder of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency in Botswana, and her annual medical check-up.

Just finished bk 5 of a horror series
and am now reading
My review for
The Quartet Murders by J.R. Ellis, #2 in the Yorkshire Murder Mysteries. I found it somewhat slow and don't think I'll read any more in the series.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I always love Kate Atkinson's complex stories that ex-detective Jackson Brodie has to untangle while generally making more of a tangle of his own life. Big Sky is the 5th in the series and is terrific!

Enjoyable second in series. 4/5
