Alice | 109 comments I finished A Spy for the Redeemer A Spy for the Redeemer (Owen Archer, #7) by Candace Robb by Candace Robb. This series is very good if you like Historical mysteries set in medieval times. This book takes place in 1370 York and Wales. Our two main characters Lucie and Owen are apart for most of it in separate so I don't think book worked as well. Start with book one of this series.

Every Last Fear by Alex Finlay

Good bones of a book, I even cried a little at times. I really believed in the closeness of the family, that even after tragedy, they leaned on each other instead of falling apart. However, after sitting with this book a couple days, I realized the main character is kind of...inconsequential to the story. He wasn't involved with...

PattyMacDotComma | 585 comments Aussie author and former journo Chris Hammer writes complex mysteries with a broad range of characters. The Valley has gold mining, politicians, cops (straight and bent), hippie types, and a couple of favourite detectives. Another excellent read.

Woman Reading  (is away exploring) | 157 comments I finally pulled the Murderbot Diaries off of my TBR list -- starting with All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries, #1) by Martha Wells All Systems Red by Martha Wells,

I shouldn't have waited so long; these are great.

PattyMacDotComma | 585 comments I recently finished the final two novellas in Amazon's Busybodies Collection of six cosy mysteries and especially enjoyed the last one.

One Lucky Subscriber by Kellye Garrett features an imaginative YouTube celebrity hosting a tricky hide-n-seek with big prize money in the the American Dream Mall.

A Classic Case by Alicia Thompson is my favourite - a delightful rom-com mystery with a nice twist. Good finish to an uneven collection.

Karen (xkamx) | 42 comments What's actually on my bedside table is a device with cloud access to many books--sort of my current "to-do" list. It's kind of like a TBR only books I plan to read sooner rather than later/never.

Gilt Trip (A Scrapbooking Mystery, #11) by Laura Childs The one I have pulled up and should be reading is Laura Childs’ Gilt Trip from her Scrapbooking series.

The problem is the access to other reads distracts me from the mystery I started in September. No matter... It'll get read. In the meantime I'm enjoying other reads (or, actually, sleep).

PattyMacDotComma | 585 comments I'm a fan of Aussie crime/mystery author Michael Robotham. Professor Joe O'Loughlin is a London psychologist who works as a profiler with the police. There is some blood and gore (well, serial killers are notoriously messy, aren't they?) but it's never the focus, and there are other crimes.

Watching You is #7 in the Joseph O'Loughlin series, but you could enjoy it as a standalone.
