Feast on A Banquet of Consequences

/ Leave a Comment

A Banquet of Consequences is book #19 in Elizabeth George’s Inspector Lynley series. I have read a few other books in this series and they are always full of interesting characters with complex backstories, and a good murder you can really dig into. Though they are police procedurals, there is a lot of information given about the characters before the murder, similar to an Agatha Christie like Death on the Nile. You don’t really hear a lot from the police detectives to start with. In a lot of police procedurals you only view the crime through the eyes of the investigator, but that is not the way the Inspector Lynley books are written.

Get Swept Away by Fallen

/ Leave a Comment

Fallen, by Linda Castillo is book #13 in the Kate Burkholder series. I always enjoy these mysteries with a little taste of Amish country, with tidbits about their culture and phrases of Pennsylvania Dutch sprinkled throughout. Kate does a good job of tracking down the killers with her special combination of brains, compassion, and respect for the community that she chose not to be a part of, instead pursuing a career in law enforcement. Her significant other, John Tomasetti work well together. I enjoy a book where the woman and the man are on equal footing and don’t have a lot of conflict or competitiveness over cases. (Though, of course, I also enjoy books where there is some conflict between the couple as well. Since all couples have conflict of some kind.)
