Murder on the Rue Dumas: A Provençal Mystery by M.L. Longworth

In Sept. 2011, I first discovered Mary Lou Longworth and her first mystery (Murder at the Chateau Bremont) set in Aix-en-Provence. I waited, impatiently at times, for her follow up books. It is worth the wait. [The second in the series is Murder in the Rue Dumas. The ninth book was published in 2021.] Professor …

Blades of Freedom (Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales #10) by Nathan Hale

One response to the complexity of explaining the Haitian Revolution is to narrow the scope, as Sudhir Hazareesingh does in Black Spartacus: The Epic Life of Toussaint Louverture by focusing on Toussaint. Despite his tinier canvas and his younger audience, Hale, in the tenth installment of his wildly popular series of graphic histories of thrilling episodes …

A Death in Vienna by Frank Tallis

Early in 2020, I watched a PBS TV mini-series entitled “Vienna Blood.”  While watching the series, I discovered that it was based on books by author Frank Tallis. I have now read the first book featuring Max and his circle of friends and family, A Death in Vienna. There are at least seven books in …

Titanshade by Dan Stout

…And speaking of hardheadedness and fisticuffs, one of our favorite books from last year is out in paperback now. It’s Dan Stroud’s gloriously gritty Titanshade, and yes, that is a ’80s cop show cover slapped on a noir fantasy novel because dear readers, that is exactly what this is.
