Kate Connolly is a new mother, on her way to have photos taken of her 3-month-old daughter for the family’s Christmas cards when she’s rear-ended by a hit-and-run driver with French diplomatic plates. She and her husband visit the French consul in San Francisco and receive no satisfaction from the snobby French, although her husband…

The Devotion of Suspect X
Reading books written by someone from a different country or set in a different country adds a whole new layer to the plot. I don’t think that I have ever read a book set in Japan or by a Japanese author, so that was one thing that attracted me to The Devotion of Suspect X….
First Grave on the Right
With a touch of Ghost (the movie), a bit of Highway to Heaven, and a dash of Cagney and Lacey (or a more up-to-date female detective team if you prefer), Darynda Jones introduces us to Charley Davidson, who is not your normal P.I. In fact, she’s a para-normal P.I. having had the ability to see…

Dark in the City of Light
Paul Robertson certainly could not be accused of exploiting one particular genre. No niche for him. His previous novels (linked to my review) centered around a DC bookseller in According to Their Deeds, a city council making a decision on a municipal project in Road to Nowhere, and a wealthy beneficiary embroiled in politics and…
