I enjoy this popular series. What with his love of fine food, wines, and ladies, Martin Walker's Bruno, Chief of Police may sound like a gentle village 'flic', but he fought in Bosnia and is a match for anyone. The Crowded Grave is the fourth book.
My review of The Crowded Grave

My brief review for One Hundred Years of Betty by AADebra Oswaldhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
If you enjoy particularly well-written short stories, I recommend Island: The Complete Stories by the late Canadian author Alistair MacLeod. I've noticed him mentioned by other authors as a master of the craft, and they're right. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia was a harsh place to grow up, but my goodness, it is wonderful to read about.
I may read them again.
My review of Island: The Complete Stories
Spinning Briar by Rachel Huffmire
The second book of the Mirror Chronicles series and almost as good. This is an amazing indie YA SciFi-Fantasy series.
