Death and the Conjuror by Tom Mead

Oh, what fun! Mystery buffs know what it means when I say “locked room mystery.” It’s one of those murders that can’t happen – and yet, it does! So who did it… how was it accomplished… and why?

Night of the Living Rez by Morgan Talty

I loved this set of a dozen stories brought to life in Morgan Talty’s words. Each story is demonstrative of life as a Penobscot, in a Native community in Maine. One of my favorites is about a boy who opens a Pandora’s box kind of jar and lets out a curse that ruins his family. …

Lost and Found in Paris by Lian Dolan

Looking for an excuse to feel good? Well, look no further. Lian Dolan has given us a fine specimen of a feel-good read, filled with the not-too-much pain of a marriage breakup, a quick trip to Paris, an unexpected loss, and a scavenger hunt with clues. Oh, right… there’s a little romance thrown in for …

The Hearing Trumpet by Leonora Carrington

I have been accused on more than one occasion of liking only weird depressing books, but I’d like to think that my love of this, the only book by one of the greatest surrealists of the 20th century, proves that I also like books that are just weird. Gleefully anarchic and stubbornly strange– a delightful …
