I've just finished Alice Feeney's My Husbands Wife My Husband's Wife An oh so twisty tale of mystery and intrigue.
Here's my 4* review for your perusal: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.. This is my new favorite book and Vonnegut might end up as my favorite writer as I read more from him. This powerful satire feels more timely than ever.

The Midnight Knock by John Fram might be a better #Deathtober read for others who don't giggle at "supernatural horror".

My review of Hitched by Jack Adams

Now about one-third of the way through PRONTO by the late great Elmore Leonard, the novel that introduced Raylan Givens, a tough unconventional U.S. Marshal.

The book, and its sequel, are set in Miami and are prequels of sorts to the FX neo-western crime drama "Justified" which was set in Kentucky and starred Timothy Olyphant as Givens.

I've come across some really great crime thrillers, like this one.

While this was a good crime thriller, you can disregard the horror label.

A Slowly Dying Cause by Elizabeth George

In this addition to the 'Inspector Thomas Lynley' series, the Scotland Yard detective and his partner, Sergeant Barbara Havers, help Cornwall detectives solve a homicide.

My review of Killing Critics by Carol O'Connell

I finally wrote reviews for my last #Deathtober review blast. It's for the long-running Winemaker Detective Mysteries, set in France and written originally for French TV by JEAN-PIERRE ALAUX & Noël Balen. I read, over the course of a decade, eight of the more than a dozen short novels translated by either Anne Trager or Sally Pane.

They're novellas or very short novels, depending on the story; none take more than three or so hours' reading time. They're all novelizations of scripts from a French show that was on the MHz Network in the teens. That's now a streaming service, but I don't pay for it, so I don't know if they still have the show on their service.

The only place to get the reads is on Amazon, though they have paperbacks of at least some of the stories. I got them from Edelweiss+ over the years. I would've been contented if I'd paid $4.99 for the ebooks on almost every one of them.

I never do this because I know many of y'all (like me) disapprove of it, but I'm not linking to eight separate reviews on GR so here's the list:

Just finished The Red Right Hand by Joel Townsley Rogers.

Would make a good Halloween read. I was caught up in this right from the introduction by Joe R. Lansdale. For anyone interested in the old stuff, this would be worth your time. My review here:

From Edelweiss+, I got the DRC of The Worlds of Jane Austen: The Influences and Inspiration Behind the Novels via Frances Lincoln Ltd. Perfect Yule gift for your Janeite because this is the lady's 250th birthay on 16 December. Pretty, informative illustrations in a great display book (my reviews shows some example illos).

Excellent collection. More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is also good -- maybe not as good, but still really good.

If you like ghost stories, there's a recent one you might find of interest: The Cold House by A.G. Slatter. My GR review is a bit perfunctory. I posted a more fleshed out review here, https://www.sffworld.com/2025/10/sffw...
