Long time reader right from early childhood on. Can still remember what the Dewey Decimal system and card catalog files are. :)
Mostly fiction, SF, historical, some military. Very limited horror.
Moved list from Goodreads early Feb 2023. Looks like I started using that in 2016. List is so not complete.

5 stars
Book 5 in the series and I am still enjoying them. This one has the twists and turns but written in a way that's not tiring to me. In fact I had to make myself wait a bit to read this on as I didn't want to get tired of them by reading so close together. The who dunit is excellent and the surrounding detail \s are well done but I'm just really enjoying the characters.

Really Enjoyable

4th installment in the series and I'm quite liking them. A couple of new supporting characters makes this not just another of the same with a different murder. Main characters are not stuck in place. Very nice.

good title

I clicked on this in error looking for the next Colin Dexter book with Libby. It has a forward from him so that links it to him. Anyway I tried it and stayed up till one reading it last night. And finished this afternoon. It's authors are Swedish and set mostly in Stockholm in the 60's. With a dry sense of humor and and characters that might be mildly not so likable. I'll have to find others now.
