Berger and Mitry #5. The 2 local low-lifes are back in town and Mitch and Des have to deal with them while trying to keep the lovable rich old lady from being murdered. I like the series and I liked this one but it's nothing special. 3 stars.

Donne | 184 comments For my Halloween reading binge, I thought I would read a couple of horror stories. While this one is labeled a horror story, I truly believe this is mislabeled. It is definitely a crime thriller.

The Man Made of Smoke by Alex North - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

On that note, this is definitely a really scary and creepy horror story.

Police investigate a drowning and a series of burglaries..... while true crime podcasters concentrate on a cold case.

Lots going on in this well-written thriller. 4 stars

James Best (jamesbest) | 302 comments Now about halfway through THE LOST MAN OF BOMBAY (2022) by Vaseem Khan, the third book in his mystery series featuring Persis Wadia, the first female detective on the Indian police force.

The series is set in the early 1950's after the British departed and India is struggling to get its feet on the ground as a newly independent nation.

The book earned a nomination for the U.K. Dagger Award as the best historical mystery of the year.

PattyMacDotComma | 928 comments So far, I've enjoyed everything I've read by Aussie author Michael Robotham. For many years, he was a journalist in London, a place he knows well, where The White Crow is set. I like the premise of the daughter of a gangster being a young detective. Of course, Philomena's always suspected by both sides of leaking information, but Robotham makes it work.
