#BookReview: Which Witch? by Simon R. Green
My Review: There’s a curse on ‘The Scottish Play’, or so the old acting tradition goes. Part of that curse is that if any of the actors in the play utter the play’s actual title, that the production will be doomed. It’s possible that tradition arose because The Tragedy of Macbeth has the potential to be a rather expensive play to put on, and a lot of theaters that did so went out of business because they were already in financial trouble and hoping that a splashy production would rescue them.

A- #BookReview: The Misplaced Physician by Jeri Westerson
My Review: Sherlock Holmes’ investment in his experiment pays surprising dividends for the ‘Great Detective’ in this third book in the Irregular Detective series. The physician who has been misplaced is Holmes’ own friend and chronicler, Dr. John H. Watson, while Holmes is out of town and out of reach on some mysterious errand of his own - or more likely at the behest of his brother Mycroft.
