Mr. Finchley – by Victor Canning

I have been reading this series for a while now, but I wanted to read all three before talking about it, just because it made more sense. I am always up for trying a reprint of older books, preferably mysteries but I sometimes succumb to interesting-sounding books of other genres. This was one of those…

Death on a Quiet Day (Sir John Appleby #16) by Michael Innes

This book is yet another one which I can add to #BritishCrimeClassicsChallenge you can see Rekha's review for more glowing praise. I only quite recently realised how deficit my knowledge of old classic crime novels or even authors was (as anyone following my reviews could attest). I am slowly working my way through (my) unknowns to identify if…

The narration was absolutely great and I think it was just this that brought the…

I have Cathy @ WhatCathyReadNext 's post to thank for this post, and both of the reviews that follow. I will elaborate on that shortly. I might have even requested the first book based on when she originally posted her review.(It is too far back to remember) #1 No Ordinary Killing: I requested this book because…

Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1) by Leigh Bardugo

This is another book that I picked up because of the numerous reviews I have seen on multiple blogs since I started this blogging adventure. I have read quite a few great ones from that ever-growing list of recommendations. I need to perfect a new way to review fantasy adventure books. I never imagined I…

Lights on the Sea by Miquel Reina

The Goodreads Choice awards results are out and surprisingly I was less excited about the results this year when I knew more of the books than when I had stumbled on it last year. I have been underwhelmed by a few books that came out on top and vice versa. I am not saying I…
