A new Shari Low book is always a reason to celebrate! It's like getting together with friends you haven't seen for a long time, and picking up where you left off, like you saw other just yesterday!

And it seems that there's a lot of interesting, historical research behind it all, which makes it quite understandable that it would make for some exciting plot-lines!

Lena (pronounced Lay-na, not Lea-ner to rhyme with cleaner, although she thinks she should have reconsidered naming her business 'Lena's Cleaners) is a bit of an amateur sleuth, by all accounts. However, mostly she's a rather diligent business-woman who runs her own cleaning service. A Hungarian... Continue Reading →

You know when you pick up a John Marrs book that you won't be getting much sleep! Firstly because you'll be reading way into the night, and secondly because his books are so thought-provoking (and slightly disturbing, let's not lie), that they keep you awake as your mind races with thoughts and ideas that you...
