You should try Riordan’s Tres Navarre Series. It’s really good.
P.S. New follower via blog. So glad I found this site. I too have a crime fiction based book blog you may like.
Thanks John! Off to check out your blog, too.
Thanks. I review a lot of crime fiction books but I’m glad to see that you do too.
Thanks John. I am a newbie to the genre even though I’ve read mystery off/on for years but I finally decided to focus only on crime fiction and that’s why I started this blog. Hope we continue to find some great mystery reads.
Don’t hesitate to tell me if you find a good one.
