Review: The Edinburgh Mystery and Other Tales of Scottish Crime

This collection of classic crime short stories with Scottish links is full of variety, and perfect to dip into for some atmospheric tales…

Review: Death of a Bookseller by Bernard J Farmer

The 100th instalment in the British Library’s Crime Classics series is a fantastically fun bookish romp of a mystery!

Review: Post After Post-Mortem by ECR Lorac

A really enjoyable murder mystery that strikes just the right balance between cosy and exciting!

Review: Murder After Christmas by Rupert Latimer

The week between Christmas and New Year seemed like the perfect time to review this festive classic crime novel!

Review: Dead Man in a Ditch by Luke Arnold

I’ve just discovered this review languishing in my drafts, oh no! But don’t take my long silence as anything but a mistake – this book deserves shouting about!

Review: Clifftoppers – The Frost Castle Adventure

This fab series of middle grade mysteries continues with the exciting fourth book, The Frost Castle Adventure!

Review: Premeditated Myrtle

I don’t read a lot of audiobooks, but something about the sample of Premeditated Myrtle made me give it a go, and I’m so glad I did – this is a great middle grade mystery with a really fun heroine!

Review: The Last Smile in Sunder City

The term ‘most anticipated book of the year’ gets thrown around a lot in book blogging (I do it too, I know!) but I have genuinely been on the edge of my seat to read this since the announcement that it had been picked up – and it’s not even out until February 2020! The Last Smile in Sunder City is the debut novel by Luke Arnold, who just so happens to play my favourite character in one of my favourite shows, Black Sails (which you should totally watch). Great acting doesn’t necessarily mean great writing, so I was apprehensive, but wow, was this man blessed when they handed out creativity, because this book is absolutely PHENOMENAL.

Review: Clifftoppers – The Fire Bay Adventure

The Clifftoppers are back for their second exciting adventure!

Review: Echo Murder

The sequel to Fallible Justice, one of my favourite books of last year (and always) – Echo Murder is even better than I’d hoped!
