Not read any of those, WN. Do you have to start with the first in the series, The Coroner's Lunch, to properly appreciate the stories? They look rather expensive on Kindle, so I'll have to be looking in secondhand shops for them.
I see that you've 3 more in the series to go!

It's best if you do read them in order. I found the first one very good when I read it but as I read others I thought that the series got better and better with each book as the author developed their personalities but it's important to read them in sequence.
Thanks for that website btw. Excellent. Mrs WN already ordered 2 Alan Bradley books that she didn't know about. Not my cup of tea but we all have different tastes.
Edit - Can't read the next 3 in Siri series until I've read this one!
Don't like the other series he's written.

I'm re-reading a fine and light mystery story from one of my favourite authors, Lawrence Block, about a burglar called Bernie. They always have "The Burglar" in the title, this one being "The Burglar Who thought he was Bogart". As said, it's light reading.
Always worth picking one up if you see one in a charity shop or on kindle etc.

It was still there today so I've decided to give it a go. Don't normally jump in at such a late stage. Mind you I have about 4 books to read before this one. Glad you enjoyed Random. Worth keeping an eye out for the rest of the series. Like most first books they don't get the time to develop the main characters that later books allow.
ps It's shown as No 18.

Of course you're right, it's No.17 that I've not got yet so will have just to wait till it goes down to 99p and so have two to read on the bash.

Just had this posted by my daughter, although we've got them all it's a bargain for those that have not read any of the Rebus books.
"A reminder for readers in the UK: you've got until the 24th November to download the first 9 books in the legendary Rebus series on Kindle for just 99p each!"

Ah, yes, I got them the other day. I meant to say…😳

Anyone read the NCA series of books by Bill Rogers, based round Manchester? Not tried them myself but they are at £1 each on Kindle at present.
He has another earlier series, also based round M/C, where his main character is DCI Tom Caton.

Double success at local library yesterday where I collected Anne Cleeves' latest Shetland thriller "Wildfire" and the new Michael Connelly instalment of Harry Bosch "Dark Sacred Night". Just need a few wet days with no chance of being summoned to the garden now!

It's no good for me trying to order a book from our local library as we're always away longer than the allowed borrowing time.
I just have to wait till they either come on Kindle or my daughter buys them, read then pass on to me.0 -
If you like crime novels especially the Tom Thorne and Roy Grace novels then my OH’s latest read might be the start of a new series for you. He has just finished Hell’s Gate by Malcolm Hollingdrake. This is the 2nd book in a series of 7 (at present) and are based around Harrogate. He suggests you leave Book 1 for another day.
He says it was an excellent read and the fact the author is one of his tennis partners is purely coincidental!

Natasha, I see that the first one, Only the Dead, is 99p on Kindle at the moment. We have already got it I find, so must get round to reading it some time.

Natasha, it now seems that we have the first 4 of the series, although neither OH or myself downloaded them, so must have been done by our daughter who is also on our Kindle account. I'll work my way through them while we're away on our next trip.

If anyone reads spy/thriller books Daniel Silva’s book ‘The Other Woman’ featuring Gabriel Allon could be of interest. He tends to weave into his novels things that the public may be aware of. It was a good read for me. I think this one came out in the summer.

Just a quick heads up.
LJ Ross's Hermitage, No.9 in the DCI Ryan Series, is on sale at Kindle for 99p today.
