That is just too good not to be shared. Josephine Tey is touted in mystery writers' circles as having written the best mystery of all time when she wrote Daughter In Time. I've read it: fascinating story. But I respectfully disagree. Brat Farrar wins first place in my book - excuse the pun. Any author who can pull off the premise of one man taking another's p...

Two New Book Recommendations My book recommendations this time are outside of the norm of my preferred reading genres. Never-the-less these are books I enjoyed immensely; which just goes to show sometimes you have to venture a little beyond the normal comfort zone or you could miss out.

Book Recommendation None to Give Away by Elsie Doig Townsend Many of my recommendations may be books you haven’t heard of before. They have been little gems for me, and precious jewels are often found tucked away in unexpected places, as this one was.
