Fortune Furlough – Murderously fun vacation.
Overall a fun read. I really like the trio, their interactions and their adventures. Fortune herself has become more competent in her new role and less slapstick. Ida Bell was kicking ass from the start and Gertie… well Gertie and her explosive handbag is… Gertie. Continue reading Fortune Furlough – Murderously fun vacation.
2022 clean-up.
With 2022 gone here is a clean up with short reviews of the last books that I read in 2022. Continue reading 2022 clean-up.
Before Christmas clean-up.
So since I have some time between the preparations this Sunday it is time for a backlog clean-up so I do not start Christmas with an already large backlog. Continue reading Before Christmas clean-up.
Change of Fortune – That was fun and satisfying.
This was a fun read indeed. I think this might be the best one in the series so far. Continue reading Change of Fortune – That was fun and satisfying.
Holiday catch-up reviews.
Got home from my two week holiday last weekend. Hence the somewhat unusual featured photo of this post. Obviously I was still reading (when not in the water of course) so I have accumulated a bit of a backlog. So here’s some backlog clean-up. Continue reading Holiday catch-up reviews.
Trouble Walked In – Very good crime/mystery novel in a science fiction setting.
I found this book quite good. Very good actually. It is not some vanilla science fiction story dressed up as a crime mystery. It is a good old-fashioned crime mystery that happens to transpire in the future and a good one at that. Continue reading Trouble Walked In – Very good crime/mystery novel in a science fiction setting.
Fortune Hunter – More of the same but still fun reading.
Overall this book was one of the better ones in the series. Continue reading Fortune Hunter – More of the same but still fun reading.
A Miss Fortune Mystery 6 & 7 – Okay but just barely.
I have to say that of the seven books that I have read so far in this series, these two are the ones that I liked the least. Continue reading A Miss Fortune Mystery 6 & 7 – Okay but just barely.
Time for another backlog clean-up.
It is time for another backlog clean-up. I have been rather busy lately and have not really had time to sit down in front of a PC to write on my blog. That has not stopped me from reading of course which created a bit of a backlog and since I kind of promised myself that I would make an effort to keep up it is time for a backlog clean-up. Continue reading Time for another backlog clean-up.
Miss Fortune Mystery books 2 & 3 – Fun reads.
Overall these books are fun reads. The characters are likable, well except the bad guys of course. There’s a decent enough mystery with the appropriate twists and surprises. Continue reading Miss Fortune Mystery books 2 & 3 – Fun reads.
Lousiana Longshot – This was fun reading.
Overall I have to say that I liked the book. It was a fun read. It, mostly, struck a nice balance between the funny stuff and the mystery stuff. Books two is already in the pipeline for me. Continue reading Lousiana Longshot – This was fun reading.
The Rubber Band – Another good Ner Wolfe book.
It is good, well written crime mystery. One may or may not like Nero Wolfe with his somewhat abrasive character. It is probably not a character for the easily offended woke mob but then the text itself is probably too complicated and difficult for that group of individuals. Continue reading The Rubber Band – Another good Ner Wolfe book.

Fer-de-Lance – American mystery novel from the 30’s, I quite liked it.
I quite liked it. I’m sure some people (fans) will say that I commit blasphemy by saying this but this book, loosely, felt like a American version of Hercule Poirot. Continue reading Fer-de-Lance – American mystery novel from the 30’s, I quite liked it.
