My first read for October was the modern, suspense classic The Moonspinners by Mary Stewart, the seventh of Stewart's romantic, suspense novels, published in 1962, but the third I have read; which helped me escape the miserable weather of the UK to the sun-drenched Mediterranean.

While each book is a self-contained mystery, there is the continuing character arc for Agatha running through them all, therefore I recommend checking out the first … Continue reading Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death by M. C. Beaton
Last year, I thoroughly enjoyed the nostalgic, crime-fictions, Headline Murder and Stop Press Murder, which are the first two mysteries in Peter Bartram's Crampton of the Chronicle series.
