Laura Root reviews the second book from French sisters "Claude Izner" who continue their tour of Paris's tourist sites with The Pere Lachaise Mystery;

Amanda Gillies was disappointed with what she felt was the poor execution of a great idea in Michael Parker's The Devil's Trinity

and Michelle Peckham reviews the paperback edition of Bleeding Heart Square by Andrew Taylor writing that it's "a hugely enjoyable book, in which the many different threads, and rich detail, are skilfully woven together".

I enjoyed these reviews, Karen - I think I have a copy of Bleeding Heart Square, courtesy of CrimeFicReader, to read so only skimmed that one. Seems to be a nice variety of genres in this week's batch.
