Carolyn | 2078 comments Elly Griffiths continues to deliver a well crafted mystery in #14 of her Ruth Galloway series. Written during the UK covid 19 lockdown it also presents a realistic snapshot of what life was like for people during the early days of the pandemic.

PattyMacDotComma | 813 comments Who doesn't love finding a new favourite book - and a debut, no less. Himself by Irish author Jess Kidd is a terrific blend of warmth and superstition and murder. The lot!

Carolyn | 2078 comments I'm starting to warm up to Ann Cleeves' new Two Rivers series. The characters are not as immediately likeable as Vera and Jimmy Perez but we're getting more insight into them and their lives in this second book in the series.

Carolyn | 2078 comments I enjoyed reading Mick Herron's debut novel, Down Cemetery Road (The Oxford Investigations, #1) by Mick Herron Down Cemetery Road. While not up to the brilliance of his Slough House series it's still very good and there are lots of key traits evident already in his writing that you can recognise from his later series.

Carolyn | 2078 comments I loved the paranormal elements and Irish folklore woven into this gothic tale of an unusual child in Victorian London and those who like to collect curiosities to show live or put into jars.

Carolyn | 2078 comments This very gritty murder mystery is based on the author's own experiences as a rookie cop and was an excellent read.

PattyMacDotComma | 813 comments Jon McGregor is a terrific Irish author who was commissioned by the BBC to write these stories, The Reservoir Tapes, to follow his highly acclaimed debut, Reservoir 13. He is just so good.

PattyMacDotComma | 813 comments I've also just read Where Shadows Dance, # 6 in the Sebastian St. Cyr historical mystery series by C.S. Harris. 1812 England - intrigue, murder, a bit of romance. What's not to love?

Carolyn | 2078 comments I'm an outlier with this historical novel We Fly Beneath the Stars by Suzanne Kelman We Fly Beneath the Stars by Suzanne Kelman. It sounded like such a good topic for a WW2 novel with a difference (based on the real Russian all female fighter bomber pilots), but I was disappointed that it was more of a romance with a historical backdrop than a fascinating historical novel.
