The final part of the trilogy: The Roads Chosen.
I'm constantly telling myself to write reviews, but can't settle on what to say.



Berger and Mitry #4. The plot for this one is sort of And Then There Were None. Big house, terrible storm, power out, no one can leave, people are dying (being murdered?). Not the best in the series -- couple of pretty obvious plot holes. 3 stars.

New York 1926. Dorothy Parker, Alexander Woollcott, Robert Benchley and many other members of the Algonquin Round Table work to solve murders -- and along the way we meet George Raft, Florenz Ziegfeld and many others. Very witty very enjoyable mystery starting the day of Rudolph Valentino's funeral. I liked it a lot -- 4 stars.

Hot Stage by Anita Nair and Murder by Degrees by Ritu Mukerjee


Short novella on the fringe of the Rivers of London world. FBI agent Kimberly Reynolds goes to Wisconsin in the winter following a report of something weird. Weird? Oh yes. Set in the U.S. not London. Very little humor. No Peter Grant. But I did like it. 3 stars.
