The Shadows of London is book 6 in the Marwood and Lovett series. This is confusing, because it’s been Marwood and Hakesby for some time now. I have jumped books 2 to 4, thanks to ARCs from the publishers and
Book Review | The Last Saxon King
The Last Saxon King was a book I got from NetGalley in September. I’m not entirely sure why, except it involves time travel. It took me a while to read it as I stopped for several weeks early on. Not
Book Review | Quantum Radio by A G Riddle
Quantum Radio sounded exciting, so I requested an ARC from Netgalley and the publishers, Head of Zeus. I’d like to thank them for the opportunity. It also met enough criteria on time travel to fit into my SpaceTime Reading Challenge
Book Review | Nightspark by Michael Mann
Nightspark is the sequel to Ghostcloud, which I enjoyed last year; well, autumn 21 already. Thank you to the publishers and netgalley for a review copy once more. And I love, love, love the cover! Nightspark by Michael Mann Having
Zombie Book Review | Z2134 by Sean Platt
Z2134 is not the type of book I usually read. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to complete my Alphabet Soup list with a Z title. Apologies if my review is not as enthusiastic as it
Book Review | The Darkness Manifesto by Johan Eklöf
The Darkness Manifesto caught by eye in the netgalley listings, as it was an examination of darkness and its scarcity. It seemed to fit well with the other non-fiction books I’ve taken this year. It takes me to just one
Book Review | The Empire by Michael Ball
The Empire came up on NetGalley’s list, and I liked the sound of it. With other celebrity authors, though, I’ve had trouble getting rid of their voice. Would Michael Ball be different? The only way to find out is to

Twelve New Stories involving Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple? Purists will be up in arms. Me, I’m delighted my favourite crime authors took part. Thank you,NetGalley and the publishers, HarperCollinsUK, for a chance to read this book. It came out on
Book Review | Beyond the Frozen Horizon
Beyond the Frozen Horizon comes out today, according to Netgalley, who kindly send me an ARC. I’ve been reading a lot over the summer. With a log-jam of reviews to give you, I thought I’d slot this one in today.
Book Review | Femina @DrJaninaRamirez
Femina is subtitled, A New History of the Middle Ages, Through the Women Written Out of It. Says it all, really. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers, I got a late ARC for the book (plus an update with good
Book Review | Small Miracles by Anne Booth
Small Miracles caught my eye when it came through on the Netgalley email update. I generally avoid anything with a hint of religion in it, but this sounded great fun. And so it is! It’s out this week – go
Book Review | Looking for Emily by Fiona Longmuir
Looking for Emily came up as an offering on Netgalley. The blurb intrigued me, and I succeeded in getting an advance copy. Not enough in advance for me to read it before publication, but I prioritised it all the same.
Book Review | The Museum of Ordinary People by Mike Gayle
The Museum of Ordinary People: a book that didn’t fit any category I usually read, but sounded as if I’d really enjoy it. Right on both counts, as it turns out. Thank you to NetGalley and to the publishers for
Book Review | Birdgirl by Mya-Rose Craig
Birdgirl is an autobiography by a young birder. Thank you, netgalley and the publishers, for the chance to review it. It was not easy to read. Some ARCs are perfectly well formatted. However, I’ve had several where the digits are
