OK, I need to find a better way to do this! 15 more books to add, some of which I've forgotten.
First up, mysteries:
Death at Greenway, by Lori Rader-Day. Beware when our publisher describes your book as a new Christie. It was well written, but the mystery just faded away.
Something to Hide, by Elizabeth George. One of the best of her recent Inspector Lynley books. Tough subject matter of female genital mutilation, but overall, the great characters I expect from her.
The Long Weekend by Gilly Macmillan. Please let me remember not to read any more of her books!
Observations by Gaslight, by Lyndsay Faye. Short stories told from the POV of other characters in the Holmes universe. Each one was absolute perfection!
Give Unto Others by Donna Leon. I admit, I only read these now for the descriptions of Venice. Very much meh.
All the Queen's Men, by S.J. Bennett. The first book in this series was good, this one dragged. Not a series I'll continue.
Overboard, by Sara Paretsky. Another one that didn't spark my interest. I like the series, but the last few have made me question if I want to keep reading.
Two for Sorrow, by Nicola Upson. The third in her Josephine Tey series. I like all the secondary characters, but not Josephine. This one was clever, but not my favorite.
Rotten to the Core, by T.E. Kinsey. I do love Flo and Lady Hardcastle, but damn, they're running out of people in the village to murder! These are worth reading just for the repartee between these two characters. Definitely a palate cleanser of a book.
