I have heard nothing but good things about the Mary Russell books since I started my book blog, and I still haven’t gotten around to reading them for some reason. They sound right up my alley! I am going to get one soon, I swear!

Oo, look at all those delightful books for me to read. My library hasn’t got any other books by Rennie Airth but I will see if I can paperbackswap them, and I can’t wait to get hold of some of the others you recommend!

I loved it. Apparently the author has written two other novels with John Madden in and I will be looking out for them. Other books about this era include all the detective stories by David Roberts (not as good as this one, but very readable with excellent historical detail – sort of thing that’s great if you have a cold), Patrimony by Jane Thynne oh and of course, the Maisie Dobbs detective novels by Jacqueline Winspear. Oh and another one – the Dandy Gilver novels by Catriona McPherson. She’s Scottish and funnier than Winspear, but not quite so original. Still, all very entertaining.

Can’t be beat! I love this period, too, and this one sounds very enjoyable.
