For example, whilst writing my mystery set in Costa Rica, I looked at photo’s from my research trip, practised my Spanish, read about Costa Rican wildlife, drew oxcart wheels, ate bananas, wrote biographies of people I met there, checked the volcano forecast - you get the idea.

The Habit of Murder by Susanna Gregory

Another twisting mystery with many dubious characters, and no shortage of motive. Amazed the author is still able to surprise us with different insights into medieval life this far into the series but they just keep coming.

A rollicking story with our hero once again thrown into an impossible situation he has no choice but to solve. Sometimes terrifying, occasionally hilarious, always utterly Venetian.

Good world-building, relatable characters, compelling story, heart-wrenching stakes, and a fitting narrative voice. The only thing that let this book down slightly for me was the speech. I was expecting something more moving and eloquent from a chara ...more

From the description, title, and cover, I was expecting a book of quick and easy ways to add more comfort and cosiness to my life. This book is more of a sociological study, complete with statistics and graphs, covering topics such as how often Danis ...more

Clever and immersive comedy thriller with great world-building and distinct characters. A fun read but not at all easy to work out who the villain is. Perfect if you need cheering up or a bit of escapism. I will definitely be reading more in this ser ...more

Twelve Minutes to Midnight by Christopher Edge

Set at the end of the 19th century, and written in a similar style to classic Victorian stories. If you like fast-paced thrillers, this might not be for you. But there are twists and turns, and plenty of scares - particularly if you’re not keen on sp ...more
