Tom Bouman has penned his third Henry Farrell novel and the cop, based in small-town Pennsylvania, is called out to investigate a headless corpse. It looks like a bear had been eating the man but killing the creature isn’t Farrell’s main worry – it’s the fact that the bear wasn’t the culprit. Someone in town

When I was a kid (middle school age), I was a big environmentalist. I read all about CFCs and aerosol, and my best friend and I even constructed a program where we taught younger kids in our school about recycling, the environment, endangered animals, and other ecological issues. As time went on, my fervor for

This literary crime thriller by Claudia Hagadus Long is part treasure hunt, part family story, part romance, part tragic history. Long weaves these elements together in a complicated plot through the strong voice of her story’s sympathetic narrator, Zara Persil-Pendleton. Zara and her husband Sam are Californians, on sabbatical in Manhattan for a few months.

The X-Men have a seminal role in my comic reading experience. Created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee for Marvel Comics in 1963, the team of superhero mutants has fought for both mutant-kind and humanity for decades. Their roster has changed since then as beloved X-Men characters died and fresh recruits took their place. Only

The era gave rise to a lot of gorgeously written romances which inspired much of the literature of the last 500 years. (My own favourite happens to be Sir Gawain and

I don’t think there is anything wrong with folding down the corner of a page to save your place in a book you own. For me, it makes quick reference as well as a useful tool for coming back to passages worth remembering. I also know that dog-earing is a controversial topic in the reading

Do you stick to reading in one genre or are there times when you like to explore something new? Crime fiction has so many tempting sub-genres, it’s easy to make a detour or two without straying too far from the usual bloodstained path.

Visiting LA after reading a Jonathan Kellerman novel is a wonderful experience. Described in sparse but vivid prose, the city and its suburbs, strip malls and beach-side bars are such a part of his mysteries, that once you’ve read a few novels in the 35-strong series, you believe you could navigate the roads from memory.
