Another vacation and I'm back to Inspector Rebus. Reading the novels in haphazard order I landed on the 9th this time. As enjoyable as ever. This time Rebus officially is assigned a cold case, of a suspected Nazi criminal living in Edinburgh. After months of digging, and odd conversations with his suspect he is fed …
I read other Lemaitre's books a few years ago and I remember being impressed by them. Because of that when I was shopping on amazon to top up my Kindle choices before vacation I checked for his name. And I found this novella. We are back with Camille Verhoeven, the detective of Napoleonic height. H …
One of my Christmas gifts! It took me a while to read it, but I made it, my second completed book in German! Very proud of myself. Also I discovered or rather remembered that when I was learning English the first books I read in English were actually Grisham's book, so also sort of crime/court …
My chaotic adventure with Inspector Rebus continues, I seem to be reading Rankin's book in more and more random order, but that does not take away the fun. This time I hit more or less in the middle of the series. This will be a short and sweet review because I don't want to spoil …
Another gift from my dear friend from studies, last time she got me Szamałek's second book Czytanie z Kości, which I devoured in a day. It was no different this time.

After finishing It at the beginning of the month I had a bit of book hangover, the world built by King was fascinating and has been my home for two full weeks, so I needed something to clean my palate before next 'serious' book. As I'm also trying to clean up my Kindle a bit …

This is a fourth part of the series about Fredrika Bergman and Alex Recht, my adventure with the series started from the third part (I somehow rarely start crime series from the beginning). I really enjoyed The Disappeared, so when I saw nearly new Hostage at the #AmnestyBookSale in November I couldn't resist, even though …
Another one of my fantastic Polish crime Christmas gifts. Maybe it was not so much a crime as a psychological thriller. This was the last one of my stash and since I am still sticking with book buying ban, there may not be many more for a while, so rejoice 😉 In a medium-sized town …
This one was something I rarely read - historical crime fiction, for some unknown reason I usually prefer myy crime to be contemporary, or at least 20th century. I probably was tempted to buy this one on one of the kindle sales, which is where I get most of my crime stash. The book is …
