Books for November

November 8, 2020

I’ve been borrowing lots of library books lately. There are tons of titles from new writers and a library card is the best way to test them out. If you don’t have a library card, why not? It’s free and easy. Plus, librarians love it and circulation numbers help them stay open! Add these to your list for your next trip to the library.

REVIEW: Murder Maps – Crime Scenes Revisited

November 1, 2020

In addition to being an excellent reference, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of criminal investigation. It is beautifully designed and a joy to thumb through. Chock-full of tidbits and ephemera, it offers a new way to view old cases.

REVIEW: The Thursday Murder Club

September 20, 2020

Richard Osman’s debut novel is a polite, heartfelt version of a crime story involving a retirement home and a handful of murders. At times laugh-out-loud funny, it’s a cracking good yarn with memorable characters.

REVIEW: Piranesi

September 8, 2020

Piranesi opens with strange and unintelligible descriptions of archways, empty chambers, marble statues and unending stairways. Slowly, clues to the narrator’s labyrinthian world take form.
