Since this series started with May, and since I was already reading them out of order, I went ahead and read February Fever, by Jess Lourey, before going back to start at the beginning. Set on a train, in a snowstorm (sound familiar?) this one had a slightly claustrophobic feel to it (nice job on the part of the author, I thought). It's a bit darker than the first book I read though, with some sad events from the main character's past. (It could be tying up loose ends from earlier titles). Still, a nice cozy, with some delightful characters.

A Front Page Affair is the debut novel of Radha Vatsal, and what a read it was! It is the first the Kitty Weeks Mystery series she has planned. Set in New York City in 1915, Kitty (Capability) Weeks wants to be a journalist. She's well educated and well traveled, but is stuck doing the fashion page. Until she attends a high society function that is. Just a wonderful start!

I mentioned how the ending of the last Peculiar Crimes Unit mystery ended 'up in the air' and that I was glad I could move on to the next title quickly. Well, I am and I did! Bryant & May: Strange Tide, by Christopher Fowler was a welcome relief as well as the expected twisted mystery. I love the older characters in this series, and that these are 'thinking' mysteries. Not that I figure them out, of course! ;-)
