Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10006 comments Jim Butcher's Cinder Spires novella, Warriorborn will certainly whet the appetite for #2, The Olympian Affair. 5★s

The Cobbler's Apprentice (The Workhouse Series) by Lynette Rees
It's so annoying when series books are marked as standalones! This historical fiction has a decent plot, but not knowing the background of the characters, I just couldn't get into it

PattyMacDotComma | 3317 comments Regency England is often depicted as romantically glamorous, but Viscount Sebastian St Cyr's investigation of shadowy murders and his wife Hero's research into the abject poverty of the time, show a very different picture. C.S. Harris writes THE best historical mysteries. Who Speaks for the Damned is terrific.

PattyMacDotComma | 3317 comments I was caught offguard by this surprising little short story, The Curfew Tolls by Stephen Vincent Benét. It's available free online, and I've included the link in my review. It's a quick read - give it a go. 😊

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 741 comments A Dangerous Game by Mandy Robotham
A Dangerous Game by Mandy Robotham
Takes Harri Schroder's ahead from 'The Hidden Storyteller', but on the whole, this historical fiction fell a little short of my expectations.

PattyMacDotComma | 3317 comments I enjoyed Lee Child's move to an international spy thriller in his recent short story, Eleven Numbers. Clever and entertaining with a problem even Reacher couldn't have solved.
