<\/a>I seem to have been in the mood for mysteries, devouring a lot of cozies, including several new releases.<\/p>\nI’ve been a fan of Cat Sebastian for awhile, so I was delighted to see that she had another book in her Page & Summers series. Note it was a 2022 publication and I actually read it the week it was published. I also read the second Pentecost & Parker mystery, which was also good, although in a very different way, since the two are private investigators, and the story is set post WWII rather than post WWI.<\/p>\n
I’ve also started a new Ellis Peters series. It was (at the time) a contemporary, and quite different from her Brother Cadfael series, but I’ll read another.<\/p>\n
I’m all caught up on Charlie Cochrane’s Lindenshaw Mysteries, and very much enjoyed this cozy series. One partner is a teacher, the other in the police, and the ways Adam gets pulled into Robin’s cases is not utterly ridiculous. I’ve just started her older, historical series. It’s not quite as good as the Londenshaw series, but I did enjoy it.<\/p>\n
I finally read the final Inspector Montalbano book. He had written it years earlier, and instructed his agent it was to be published only after his death. It is truly the final Montalbano story.<\/p>\n

\nComics were more miss than hit this month, although I thoroughly enjoyed Valor: Wands, the second book in that series.<\/p>\n
Finally, I want to mention Lissa Kasey’s Reflections on a Curse<\/em>, which is part of an existing series, but can be read on its own. It’s set during the (continuing) pandemic, but I thought it was handled well. It’s also a story I read a segments after finally joining the Patreon community.<\/p>\n And if you don’t want to count–I read 33 books in January, which is a new high for the month. But to be fair that was 30% novellas and short stories.<\/p>\n Historical Mystery<\/strong><\/p>\n The Missing Page<\/em><\/a> (2022) Cat Sebastian<\/a> (Page & Sommers) 8.5\/10 Romance<\/strong><\/p>\n And Everything Nice<\/em><\/a> (2016) Ada Maria Soto<\/a> 9\/10 Mystery<\/strong><\/p>\n The Beat Goes On: The Complete Rebus Stories<\/em><\/a> (2015) Ian Rankin<\/a> 9\/10 Historical Romance<\/strong><\/p>\n Something Fabulous<\/em><\/a> (2022) Alexis Hall<\/a> (Something Fabulous) 7\/10 Reflection of a Curse<\/em><\/a> (2022) Lissa Kasey<\/a> (Romancing a Curse) 8\/10 Graphic Novel<\/strong><\/p>\n Valor: Wands<\/em><\/a> (2018) Isabelle Melan\u00e7on, Megan Lavey-Heaton 8.5\/10 Audio Books<\/strong><\/p>\n Broken Soul<\/em><\/a> (2014) Faith Hunter<\/a> narrated by Khristine Hvam (Jane Yellowrock) 8\/10<\/p>\n What did I read in January?
