I usually read mysteries and just finished "And Justice There is None" (Deborah Crombie), the 8th book in the Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James series -- Inspectors in London. It was the first one I've read by her, but not the last. I really enjoyed the writing and the characters. I think I'll start at the beginning. (there are a lot of them, yea!)
Lately I've been reading some SciFi and have devoured "The Chronicles of St Marys" series by Jodi Taylor. I think I read all 6 of the books and the 3 short stores in like two weeks!! (write faster Jodi!!) Great historical time travel adventures, wonderful 'cast of characters' and great writing! Love them!!
I.m currently reading "Midnight Riot" by Ben Aaronovitch. It's this month's selection for my book club. It's okay. Not a 'can't put down' book, but slowly getting through it.
It's about magic in London and a Police "Wizard" and "Wizard in training" investigating crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny- brutal and bizarre murders, a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals and a long-dead evil is making a comeback on a rising tide of magic. (from the Amazon description, not my own... ;-)
Great reviews on Amazon, but not grabbing me like The Chronicles of St Marys books. It drags a little too much for me, and I don't really care for the characters. Highly recommend the Chronicles books and Deborah Crombie though! When I finish my book club selection, it's back to mysteries for me!!
