Police Procedural / PI Book Review

Mysteries in Paradise reviewed Silent Voices by Ann Cleeves
Have you discovered the Vera Stanhope series? This is #4 in the series and an excellent read if you like British crime fiction.

Lynnette's Book World reviewed Self Made by M. Darusha Wehm
In Indie author/publisher M. Darusha Wehm’s second novel, released in January of 2010, we are introduced to a future world. One where day-to-day life as we now know it doesn’t exist and social activity takes place on the multitude of ‘nets’ and ‘boards’ designed by computer programmers.


Mysteries in Paradise reviewed The Diggers Rest Hotel by Geoffrey McGeachin
For me, Geoff McGeachin has hit on a winner with this new series and I hope we see more of Charlie Berlin. It appealed to me on several fronts - historical, crime fiction, Australia.
