I've been reading (and quite enjoying) the Victorian mysteries (Limehouse 1880s) starring Kitty Peck written by Kate Griffin. Kitty Peck and the Music Hall Murders and Kitty Peck and the Child of Ill Fortune.
Kate Griffin is the pseudonym of Catherine Webb: author ofthe Sam Linnifer series of children's/teen books. She's also written urban fantasy (The Matthew Swift series) under the Griffin pseudonym, as well as several stand-alone books (such as The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August) under the pseudonym of Claire North. I've been quite impressed with her talent and versatility. NOTE: books written under the Griffin/North pseudonyms are not childrens books Last edited by DiapDealer; 01-20-2016 at 02:23 PM. |

Just finished "Traitor's Purse", by Margery Allingham. This is the 11th book in the "Campion" series, and was originally published in 1941.
Campion wakes up in hospital with amnesia, not even knowing his own name, but knowing that he has to complete a task vital to the war effort with a very tight deadline. Can he discover what he needs to do, and complete his mission? Excellent book. As with all the "Campion" books, more of a thriller than a traditional detective story. Highly recommended. |

An excellent novella by Adam-Troy Castro featuring Andrea Cort.
Two good novellettes, although the second, Drummer, is more an exploration of character than an SF story. Three short stories, all good, but in the second one, by Gregory Benford, there was one obvious consequence to the events depicted that I was waiting to happen all the way through, and it didn't happen. Overall, a good issue. next up: The End of all Things by John Scalzi. A recent purchase - November 2015. |
