Out now from @canelobooks.bsky.social - Quiet Bones by @sarahwardcrime.bsky.social classicmystery.blog/2025/08/11/q...

I know I post one of these every year, but for those of you wondering where the inspiration for Tilly Bradshaw came from, may I present my wife, Mrs Joanne Craven . . . 🤓

Probably the last read for this Holiday - lots of driving to get home over the next two days - it's a series that I've been away from for... checks... almost a decade! Book Three in the Seeker series by S G MacLean, Destroying Angel

Book Eleven - this is getting a bit silly now - of the holiday reading and time for an obscure crime writer that you probably haven't heard of... #BookSky #AgathaChristie

Book Ten (!) of the holiday reading and it's the latest from friend-of-the-blog (and not as per Google AI, the writer of the blog) @sarahwardcrime.bsky.social #BookSky #Mystery

Book Nine of the holiday reading - almost matched last month's reading in a single week! - and it's a self-published historical mystery that is well worth a look. A Measure Of Justice by Mark Sherry

On to Book Eight of my holiday reading and it's one I've been saving for a while - Human Remains by @jocallaghankat.bsky.social - the third in the excellent Kat Frank series #BookSky #Mystery #Thriller

Book Seven of my holiday reading - a re-read but it's just come out from the @britishlibrary.bsky.social Crime Classics series with an intro from @martinedwardsbooks.bsky.social. Sorry about the old cover, the new one is much prettier but I don't have a review copy yet (HINT!)

Book Six of my holiday reading and we're off on the high seas with the fifth Jonas Flynt title, Ship of Thieves from @dougskelton.bsky.social, out in two weeks time

Pssst. An offer for #Bookish people - the unfoxable Kindle edition can now be downloaded for £4.99. Banish that summer sun and go an enjoy yourself in foggy, bomb-shattered postwar London. amazon.co.uk/Bookish-warm...

In honour of the first name in the guest book of the cabin where we're staying/sheltering, Book Five is the second novel by @richardcoles.bsky.social #BookSky #cosycrime

Book four of the holiday reading - a nice distraction from Storm Floris and a long power cut. A recent Whodunnit from the @britishlibrary.bsky.social Crime Classics #BookSky #ClassicCrime

Next on the holiday reading list, with the near impossible task of following M W Craven's The Final Vow is the latest Frankie Elkin thriller from Lisa Gardner #BookSky #Thriller

Holiday reading number 2 - lucky enough to get an advance copy of the latest Poe & Bradshaw from @mwcraven.bsky.social

On holiday for a bit, but thought I'd share my holiday reading with you - first up, the fourth Joseph Spector locked room mystery from @tommeadauthor.bsky.social #BookSky #classicmystery

Out now from @canelobooks.bsky.social - What The Dark Whispers from M J Lee classicmystery.blog/2025/07/31/w...

Definite one to file under the "Lost Classics" tag and one that needs to be reprinted as soon as possible as it's really good... and really hard to find #classicmystery #lockedroom #BookSky classicmystery.blog/2025/07/30/i...

Out this Thursday from @stevecavanagh.bsky.social - a top notch thriller, one of the best in the Eddie Flynn series #BookSky #Thriller #Mystery classicmystery.blog/2025/07/28/t...

RIDDLE IN RETAIL: Death Wears a White Gardenia via @ahsweetmystery.bsky.social ahsweetmystery.com/2025/07/23/r...
