Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce series is new to me, and I'm glad I picked this one up. The Dead in their Vaulted Arches is apparently #6 in the series, though Amazon doesn't tell you the volume number, so you have to go to another site to find out! I am enjoying reading about this precocious little poisoner—er, amateur detective—and her family, friends, and enemies. Flavia is in the sad circumstance of trying to solve her long-lost mother's murder, but she seems to be up to the task.  ...

I picked up the second book in Lois Lowry's Giver Quartet, Gathering Blue. Lowry has a way with words, and I am quite enjoying the story. I love her characters and the way she describes the communities they live in. It's easy to fall in love with Kira and young Matt.  ...

Book Three of Auntie Clem's Bakery, Allergen-Free Assignation is available today! Erin Price, gluten-free baker turned sleuth, is happy to be dabbling in a murder that this time is too old and too cold for her to be considered a suspect. As Erin begins to unearth the buried secrets of Bald Eagle Falls, she is forced to confront her own family’s dark history, a history which she knows little about. But there are others in the small town who are interested in the Price family; people who are determined to end her investigation at any cost.  ...

I just finished a new (to me) James Patterson thriller, Private Down Under. I have read a couple of the other Private books, and quite enjoyed them. This one wasn't quite up to the same standard as the usual Private titles. There were three separate cases, and I thought that at some point they were going to intersect, but they did not. They were just three separate, unrelated cases. Besides that, there was a strange combination of metric and Imperial measurements in the book. ...

On to a medical thriller this week, one of my favourite genres. Daniel and Michael Palmer serve up Mercy: a Novel, where an angel of death killer is eliminating one patient after another. I am enjoying the detailed descriptions of the medical procedures and the character development of the protagonist and her family. In the tradition of Robin Cook's Coma, the Palmer's bring you Mercy ...

So you've been reading my Auntie Clem's Bakery series, and now you are craving some gluten-free treats of your own! While I do eat gluten-free myself, I have a lot of other dietary restrictions, so my repetoire is limited, and when I want to make something that isn't on my usual weekly meal plan, it's usually an experiment, swapping ingredients on the fly.  ...

This week I am on to a psychological mystery, The Silent Sister, by Diane Chamberlain. I am drawing close to the end, and it has been an interesting and engaging read, although I have guessed all of the twists well ahead of time. A well-written suspense novel that reminds me somewhat of a Mary Higgins Clark ...

I am currently reading Brandon Sanderson's The Hero of Ages. Yes, this is the third book in the Mistborn trilogy, and I haven't read the first two books in the series. I just dived right into this world without knowing anything about it, but Sanderson does a good job at filling in the backstory so that the reader has some idea of what's going on.  ...
