Weekly Reading Round-Up
Happy Friday– and happy December! As we launch into the festive season, I treated myself to the most recent book in Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series, The Last Devil to Die, which was just as wonderful and warm-hearted and twisty as the previous installments, but at times made me very weepy. (If you’ve read…

Happy Friday, all! Those of you who follow me on Facebook and Instagram will have seen that there’s been Book News this week! For those who aren’t, I promise, I’ll pull together a proper post about it here soon. When I haven’t been in the new book cave (which is similar to the writing cave…

Happy Friday, all! This has been a multi-book vortex week for me: copy edits on the new Team W book (coming autumn 2024!), editing the massive historical note for the Manhattan Well Murder book (coming January 2025!), and research for my next book after that (coming autumn 2025!), about which I’ll tell you very soon,…

Happy Friday, all! I’ve been deep in revisions for the Manhattan Well Murder book (coming your way, hopefully with title, in January 2025!) so mostly I’ve been reading my own manuscript. Repeatedly. But for sanity’s sake, I did carve out some time to read other peoples’ books, starting with Kate Racculia’s Bellweather Rhapsody, a mystery…

Happy Friday, all– and happy October! To try to make it feel more like October, I started this week with one of the books on my Halloween list: Carol Goodman’s The Bones of the Story, in which the alums of a writing program return to their upstate college and find themselves, snowbound, being murdered one…

Happy Saturday, all! Apologies for being a day behind– I’ve been deep in research material for the next book and emerged with surprise to find I was two centuries away and a day late for Reading Round-Up. When I haven’t been living in the 1790s and early 1800s, I had the fun of finishing up…

Happy Friday, all! Once again, I’ve spent the week busy with research for the new book (on which more later). But when I haven’t been reading monographs with many footnotes, I tumbled back into the familiar old realm of 1990s Sherlock Holmes spin-offs: namely, Carole Nelson Douglas’s Irene Adler and Laurie King’s Mary Russell. I…

Happy Friday, all! I apologize for a very long Reading Round Up hiatus! What was meant to be just a week or two away from my website turned into… the whole summer. In that time, I was finishing up the Manhattan Well Murder book (now with my editor!) and huddling with Beatriz and Karen over…

I’m crawling out of my writing cave to announce that I’ll be (briefly) leaving my writing seclusion to take part in not one but two events this week! On Wednesday, July 19th, you can find me at Fresh Fiction’s virtual book club party, where we’ll be discussing– well, whatever you like, really! The event starts…
