Just started Not Safe After Dark: And Other Stories by Peter Robinson. After much American supernatural mayhem recently, thought some cozy British human mayhem would be a palate cleanser.

I just finished Last Orders
. Perfect for when you want humor mixed in with your mystery. My four star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Plot Thickets by Julia Henry ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...

The Delightful Life of a Suicide Pilot
by Colin CotterillDr. Siri #15, last in the series. Siri finds a diary apparently written by a Japanese soldier at the end of WW II but can read only half of it. He is determined to read the entire diary and will in so doing will reveal much more than he expected. I found this book a disappointment -- needlessly complex and confusing with no real payoff. Not nearly the enjoyable reading experience of the others in the series.
I just finished A Sliver of Darkness, The Twenty and Hunting Time.Sliver is out now. Hunting Time later this month and The Twenty in May of next year. All of them were awesome.
Calypso, Corpses, and Cooking
by Raquel V. ReyesAmateur sleuth/cooking show host Miriam Quiñones-Smith, who lives in multiethnic Miami, looks into a series of crimes.
Engrossing culinary/cozy mystery. 3.5 stars

I read a historical fiction book that I thoroughly enjoyed. The Night Travelers by Armando Lucas Correa
My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The last book I finished was a historical romance
The Bride Goes Rogue by Joanna Shupe and I've been reading
The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont. (So far I like The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict better.)
I finished My Mother's Secret: A Novel of the Jewish Autonomous Region by Alina Adams
It is actually officially not a thriller - but read it and you'll see that in real life, there is more going on than any author can make up.

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!
5★ My review of Himself
Devil’s Way is a decent detective cold case

The Corpse on the Court
by Simon BrettFethering #15. In this one Jude and Carole each pursue their own mystery rather than, as usual, working together. I liked this one, it moved right along.

Thanks. I'm glad at least he had a good time with his cliches. I wasn't as crazy about them.

You looking for a great book for kids? Little Platypus: A Day in the Life of a Platypus Puggle, by Aussie author Anna Brett with perfect illustrations by Rebeca Pintos, should be at the top of your list.
5★ My review of Little Platypus with several illustrations
Katherine Mansfield was one of New Zealand's most well-known authors, and I'm a fan. Her short stories are insightful and biting. Poor
Miss Brill
just wanted a little attention.
