Review:The first quarter started a little slow, but once the plot coalesced, things got interesting. British Harry Dresden, crossed with grown up Harry Potter. Good stories with just the rot amount of humor. Well done. Read more

Review:Ben Aaronovitch's "Broken Homes" is the fourth in his "PC Peter Grant" series. Again, if you've enjoyed the previous books in the series, you'll like this one. It's simultaneously both light-hearted and dark in tone, and is a fast-paced paranormal murder mystery with excellent characterizations, wonderful vocabulary, and well-done world descriptions (though perhaps a bit too London/police oriented). Unfortunately, as with the previous book, Aaronovitch has continued using bad grammar whenever... Read more

Review:This book series came highly recommended by a Scottish knitting blogger and has proven very worthy of the praise given. Though not a genre I'm especially familiar with, I'd found the writing entertaining and interesting, and enjoyed the characters and story. I'd put the second book in the series on my Kindle as soon as I'd finished this book, and have since acquired 3 more books in the series for my Kindle, too. It will be interesting to see whether this becomes optioned for a television seri... Read more

Review:The plot thickens ! Ben Aaronovitch continues to weave police procedural into intriguing urban fantasy with this book, though as the mysteries across the series continue to mount, I wonder when we'll see any actual denouement for any of the ongoing intrigues. Read more

Review:I think I bought this book rather inexpensively from Book Bub and was happy with it. It was a easy read and one that kept my interest throughout. I would say a somewhat predictable ending but that's OK there were a couple surprises throughout to make up for it. A good summer beach read. Read more

Review:Gramm is obviously a fine writer: occasional style errors but mainly eloquent, with fine detailed investigative reporting, and objective withal, so you never feel he is selling a bill of goods - you can see his care for objectivity all over. Perhaps the layout of the book didn't call for extensive documentation or an index, but anyway, there is none. Most reviewers loved "The Chameleon", and I did too, mostly because it seemed like a real-life version of the Josephine Tey mystery "Brat Farra... Read more

Review:plot was kind of predictable, still fun, but finale was a surprise. learned a bit of history about indians and corn, well written as the co-authors usually accomplish with their tales. Enjoyable read. Read more

Review:Another great adventure that keeps you wanting more! Can't wait to see if there is another chapter in this story to come. The books of Preston and Douglas are automatic pre-orders for me when they are announced! Thanks! Read more

Review:After the last two Pendergast novels I was a little wary about purchasing this one (let's face it, the last two were almost forgetful)...but so glad I took a chance. The writing is reminiscent of their previous works ("Cabinet of Curiosities" and "Still Life with Crows"), where it grabs a hold of you and refuses to let go. My only complaint is the ending seemed rushed and maybe a little confusing, just felt it came to an end too quickly. Otherwise, I would very much recommend this book. Read more

Review:I enjoyed The Faithful Spy, however in this one I can really see the author developing his style. The Ghost War is very well researched and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series. Read more
