Another new-to-me author this week. I am reading Devil’s Breath, the sixth book in G.M. Malliet’s Max Tudor Mystery series. Not having read the previous books in the series, I am a little confused as to why the police would involve a former-MI5-operative-turned-vicar in the murder of a film star aboard a yacht. But whatever it takes to get the sleuth into the plot, I guess!

remote private residence. The sleuth is there for a rest or vacation, not to investigate a case. But while he or she is there, someone dies. It’s murder, of course.

Verses for the Dead is book #18 in the Pendergast series by Preston & Child. If you have read any of the rest of the series, you know that Agent Pendergast (FBI) prefers to work on his own, but in this case he is paired up with a junior agent to “assist” him (ie. spy on him and report any rogue behaviour to their boss.) A serial killer is on the loose, and Pendergast is the only one who seems to have any idea how to pursue the investigation.
