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! ;-)
