Blog postLacy at Lacy Ace Reviews confesses:
I would be happy to be left on a desert island with a collection of Kent Fisher mysteries! Another absolute must read!
Read the full review here.
Linda at Linda’s Book Bag says:
No Love Lost is an absolute cracker of a book that deserves a wide audience. I found it hugely exciting, cleverly plotted and very entertaining.

Blog post21st September 2020. 4 stars.
Someone is playing mind games with DCI Arla Baker, breaking into her flat, sending her items that suggest they know her secrets. Worst of all, they undermine her by claiming she knows what happened to the missing teenager of an American diplomat.
No wonder Arla’s bosses are concerned. Their concern turns into their worst fears when the missing girl turns up dead.
While there’s nothing new about a killer targeting a police offic -

Having read and enjoyed Bad to the Bone, the first book in the series, I was keen to see what DI Bliss would face in this second outing. Having left Peterborough twelve years ago, he’s back and immediately thrust into a serial killer investigation. Needless to say, his return isn’t welcomed by all, least of all by his new boss. Her animosity and unreasonable demands pile on the pressure as he investigates a highly complex and unusual ser -

The subject of domestic abuse can’t be an easy one to tackle, so full marks to the author for depicting the suffering women can endure at the hands of their partners. Getting inside the heads of the abusers must have been a challenge. Their thoughts, attitudes and behaviours were certainly chilling and abhorrent at times.
The effect of being trapped in a violent and loveless marriage was shown through the eyes of probation officer, Lucy, who suffe -

Blog post15th September 2020. 5 stars.
This is the first novel to feature Miss Marple. In her first appearance, she’s described as a bit of a busybody, who’s always right in her assessment of any situation. The vicar, who relates the story, isn’t too kind in his opinion of her, but he slowly grows to realise she sees what most people miss.
While some of the attitudes are of their time in the 1930s, the story is written in a direct style that feels fresh and perfectly at hom -

Let me first say how much I enjoyed this book. I wasn’t sure this would be the case when I opened it on my Kindle to discover I’d previously read the first five chapters and no more. This time, I stuck with it, letting the quality of the writing override my misgivings about Eddie Collins. I struggled to like him or feel much sympathy for him, thanks to his reckless, self-destructive streak, but as the story progressed, I admired his conviction and -

It’s no secret that I prefer private detectives and sleuths to police procedural crime fiction. It’s much more challenging for a sleuth to solve a murder, especially when the killing is in 1789 and you’re a woman.
But that’s exactly what Ottilia Draycott must do when a marchioness is found murdered in her bed. It doesn’t help when the marchioness’s husband, Lord Polbrook, fled the house during the night. His mother Sybilla steps into the -

This is an excellent introduction and guide to independent publishing that’s perfect for a novice or seasoned indie author.

It’s well-written, everything is explained clearly and based on David’s extensive experience.

This is the second book in the series, building on the characters and relationships in the first, No Simple Death, which I reviewed here.
When a man with no obvious enemies is poisoned by an imported vegetable that can kill if not properly prepared, Sergeant West’s murder investigation soon grinds to a halt. He’s also thrown out of his normal rhythm by the return of Edel Johnson, who featured in the first story. Despite his feelings
