I read City of Bones by Casssandra Clare (the first in The Mortal Instruments paranormal series) after watching the movie in the cinema. I think it was a first for me, as I usually read the book and then watch the movie (or TV series), like I did with so many others including Harry Potter,…
I got myself Sacrifice by Paul Finch (the second novel in the DS Heckenburg series) right after Stalkers since it was already published and the Kindle version only cost a few dollars so it was a steal. I was curious to see about the new grizzly and horrific cases that Heck would have to tackle in…
The Vault is the second book in the Tyler Lock series by Boyd Morrison. I picked it up right after finishing with The Ark because I didn’t want to lose the thread on this series. I really enjoyed reading about Tyler and in fact I was curious to see whether there is a future with…
I picked up a copy of The Ark by Boyd Morrison a few weeks ago without realizing it’s the first in a new series called Tyler Locke. I love archaeological mysteries, so it was a no brainer for me to buy the book. In fact only when I went to Goodreads to write my review…
I didn’t know what to expect from Stalkers by Paul Finch, especially considering that some Goodreads reviewers didn’t rate it very high (that teaches me to NOT read reviews before actually reading the book), but when I finished the novel I had to sit for a while and think. The premise is short of fantastic…
I’ve been introduced to Everyone Lies, the first book in the DI Kate Simms series through Goodreads, a friend just finished reading it and I saw her review on my feed. Her review was 4 stars, so I decided to check it out. At the time Amazon had it only in Kindle format, it was…
The Mummy Case it’s the third book by Elizabeth Peters in the Amelia Peabody series, which finds Amelia and Emerson in a rather boring setting, digging up places that are simply not worth their time, as Radcliff Emerson kindly comments. He’d rather prefer to excavate the Black Pyramid at Dahshoor, and not it’s shadow located…
The Crossing Places is the first in the Ruth Galloway series written by author Elly Griffiths. The story is about Ruth, a forensic anthropologist who lives a nice quiet life in Norfolk. When some bones belonging to a child are discovered on a nearby beach, Ruth is asked to come in and help date them….
I read The Curse of the Pharaohs years ago when I first discovered the archaeological mystery genre (I think it was, in fact, Elizabeth Peters’ books that made me aware of this genre in the first place). I read all of the series within just a few short weeks. In this second installment of the…
Crocodile on the Sandbank is the first in the Amelia Peabody series by the famous (sadly now deceased) author Elizabeth Peters. This first book was also the first one that exposed me to archaeological mysteries, a genre that I love until now. I’m not sure at this point that I’d still enjoy this particular series…
