I've published a double set of reviews today as, due to family visits, I'll be taking the next two weekends off. The reviews will be back in May and today I have chosen reviews of very recently published books and those due out in the remainder of the month.
Here are this week's reviews:
Lizzie Hayes reviews Jean Chapman's A Watery Grave, the second in this Fenland-set series;Previous reviews can be found in the review archive and forthcoming titles can be found by author or date, here.
Maxine Clarke reviews M R Hall's third outing for Coroner Jenny Cooper, The Redeemed;
Michelle Peckham reviews Mo Hayder's Hanging Hill which departs from her recent series;
Laura Root reviews the second in Tobias Jones's Northern Italy set PI series, White Death;
Still in Italy, Maxine reviews Donna Leon's new hardback, the twentieth in the Brunetti Series: Drawing Conclusions;
Terry Halligan reviews the latest in Andrew Martin's railway detective series which brings Jim Stringer into the War in The Somme Stations;
Lizzie is introduced to Swedish humour in Hakan Nesser's The Inspector and Silence, tr. Laurie Thompson which is now out in paperback (and can be won - see above);
I review Yrsa Sigurdardottir's third outing for lawyer-PI Thora, in Ashes to Dust, tr. Philip Roughton;
Amanda Gillies reviews Sanctus by Simon Toyne, the first part in a trilogy, which seems to be as good as the advertising suggests;
Maxine also reviews Domingo Villar's Death on a Galician Shore, tr. Sonia Soto (I was due to review this but I was ill in the week so I'm very grateful that Maxine donated her (superior) review) ;
Lizzie also reviews Before I Go to Sleep the debut from S J Watson which has also been garnering a lot of buzz and Lizzie was very impressed
and Amanda also reviews Satori by Don Winslow a prequel to Trevanian's Shibumi and she doesn't think fans of the original author should be disappointed.

Great set of reviews, Karen, thank you for posting all these. I am earmarking a few of these to read! And I am sure my review of the Villar book is in no way superior, just different....;-) Have a lovely Easter break.
Such good reviews here! Just added several to my TBR pile; luckily, Donna Leon's and Yrsa Sigurdadottir's are already on library reserve, but many more will be added on.
