Death in Autumn
Dry Police Procedural: I can't believe the other reviewer read the same book. There is no Florentine atmosphere whatsoever in this book and the Marshal is indistinguishable from his captain and neither has much of a sense of humor. She uses so many [... more]

Just a Corpse at Twilight: A Grijpstra and De Gier Mystery
The love affair begins: I love this series. Oddly, this was the first book that I read. It's not often that you have a fallible, real person as a detective. This intense story is both funny and thought provoking. The atmosphere provoked in this Maine [... more]

Mannequin (St-Cyr and Kohler)
Amazon.com Review: "In spite of the war and the conqueror-conquered relationship, they had got on since the fall of 1940. Two detectives of long standing. None of the Gestapo-SS brutality and sadism for them. Just robbery, arson, murder, extortion, [... more]

Murder in the Sentier
I really wanted to like this book...: This title seemed to have so much going for it: local author, attractive design, Parisian setting.... For me, it just didn't deliver. While the story line is rather (too?) complex, that wasn't a major issue. Instead, [... more]

On the Edge
Clever Little Story: You can't really call this book a mystery because there's never any doubt about who's doing what to whom. It's more of a light psychological novel. Rose and Antonia, former WW II plotters, (so named because they plotted the locations [... more]
