New Reviews: Carr, Colfer, Connor, McGilloway, Parot, Sharp

The reviews are back though expect another hiatus when I'm at CrimeFest (where the International Dagger Shortlist will be announced).

Here are this week's reviews:

Terry Halligan reviews the first in a new Victorian series, India Black by Carol K Carr;

Susan White reviews Artemis Fowl author Eoin Colfer's first adult crime book, Plugged;

Another author changing direction is Alex Connor, who has switched from historicals to a thriller in The Rembrandt Secret reviewed here by Amanda Gillies;

Maxine Clarke reviews Brian McGilloway's Little Girl Lost which is either a standalone or the beginning of a new series;

I review Jean-Francois Parot's rich brew that is The Saint-Florentin Murders, tr. Howard Curtis set in 18th Century France;

and Lizzie Hayes reviews Zoe Sharp's Fifth Victim, where "bodyguard" Charlie Fox goes to Long Island.
