Now on to another Tom Corbett story, The Space Pioneers, the 5th selection in the Tom Corbett Omnibus by Carey Rockwell. Also I'll be reading The House of Silk A Sherlock Holmes Novel by Anthony Horowitz.

A red herring and shocking revelations round out this title. Rated C [3 stars].

The Space Pioneers, the 5th selection in the
Tom Corbett Omnibus was a very enjoyable read.
The House of Silk A Sherlock Holmes Novel by Anthony Horowitz turned out to really have the feel of a Conan Doyle Holmes tale and I really got the feel of the environment and the characters. The story was very interesting as well and had some real surprising twists. With the exception of the Mary Russell series by Laurie R. King I've stayed away from the Holmes-by-other-authors stories, but I'm sure glad to have read this one!
Now on to another Nancy Drew Mystery,
The Clue of the Tapping Heels (Nancy Drew #16) and
Bad Blood (Kate Shugak #20) the latest by Dana Stabenow!
