Death at La Fenice by Donna Leon

January 28, 2022 by Halbs Leave a Comment

Death at La Fenice is the first of 31 Commissario Brunetti mysteries. If you haven’t heard of this series, which began in 1992, Commissario Brunetti is a middle-aged detective in Venice, Italy. This inaugural mystery begins with a very dead, very famous maestro found on the floor of his dressing room. Tragic? Yes. But also very inconvenient – he died during the intermission of an opera! Word quickly spreads, as do the rumors and innuendo. Did he die of old age? Was he murdered? With […]

Just what I needed to cure the pandemic blues

The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith

Charley Davidson, Private Eye and Grim Reaper at your service

First Grave on the Right: Charley Davidson, Book 1 by Darynda Jones

February 4, 2018 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Despite being well-versed in the urban fantasy genre, I had yet to dive into the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones. It’s a new year, so why not jump into a new one? 🙂 First Grave on the Right introduces us to a tired and bruised Charley Davidson being woken up from a very sexy dream by a dead lawyer. Needless to say, she’s pretty peeved. Before she can get her bearings,  her police detective Uncle Bob (UB for short) calls her to a murder scene. […]
