&nbsp;Long time no post -- I've been overwhelmed with other stuff. But anyway, here are my thoughts on a few books I read recently.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Secret Agent is a brilliant story – realistic, suspenseful, and in places heartrending. It must have taken astonishing courage to be part of the French Resistance during WW2.&nbsp;The best compliment I can give to a book is that the characters live on

Happy Book Birthday to me! It's been years since I started writing about Lady Rosamund, and now, at last, the first book in her series is out. This is a new sort of book for me. 1) It's a Regency historical mystery, not a romance. Some of my romances are also mysteries, but the mystery usually takes second place to the romantic part of the story. The Lady Rosamund series as a whole will have a

Claws of the Cat is the first in the Shinobi Mysteries by Susan Spann. The two main characters are Hiro, a shinobi (ninja) and Father Mateo, a Portuguese Jesuit priest. The mystery is excellent, with plenty of suspense and a lovely surprise ending. I guessed it -- and liked my guess so much that I didn't care whether I was right, because it would have made a good alternate solution. But as
