ICYMI: I reviewed Robert Thorogood's The Queen of Poisons; it's the third Marlow Murder Club book, and it's really good.

I read J.R. Ellis's The Canal Murders; another police procedural, much better execution.

I was seduced by the murder yellow in the cover: I read P.F. Ford's A Body Under the Bridge; it really didn't work for me.

What IS it with incredibly attractive covers and not-good stories inside them? UGH.

I have a question: is it just me, or is the blurb for her 2022 book Nightwork eerily reminiscent to her 1992 book Honest Illusions?

Anyone who has read both care to comment without overtly spoiling the more recent book? (I'm on still the fence about reading it)

@herhandsmyhands @romancelandia @bookstodon Read both. IMO the theme and foundation are similar, but storylines and charter developments are their own. Some similarities in her research but I feel this makes them more in depth and believable. Eg. Roarke in the In Death series (NR as J. D. Robb) prior career as a thief. I enjoyed Nightwork. It was intriguing & I enjoyed the pace of story and richness of the characters. (1/2)
