Return to the beginning
Returning to read the first in the Inspector Armand Gamache mystery series.
Prisoners of their own secrets
A novel that blends history in Old Edinburgh with a well-crafted crime story of blackmail and murder.
Be not afraid
An installment of the Chief Inspector Gamache series is fast-paced, layered, and ultimately satisfying.
Bringing a measure of justice to an unjust world
Donna Leon’s latest mystery continues to explore “the ambiguity between moral and legal justice.”
Fiction as a pathway to the truth
Syd Stapleton answers my questions about his novel, an environmental disaster cloaked as a whodunit.
An ingenious whodunit within a whodunit
A tale of intrigue involving an editor, her crime-writing author, and his detective, Atticus Pünd.
Things take their course
While not in the top tier of Christie novels, “The Mystery of the Blue Train” is nonetheless worth the ride.
Truth can be elusive
I return to read the first in the Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery series.
Just rewards
Two murders in Venice lead to long buried secrets about collaboration that few want revealed.
