pickBook 5 of the Time Police series does not disappoint. Sadly, no St Mary's involvement, but that might be for the better.
Team Weird, together with Team 235 have to stop a runaway steam train that's been chug-chug-chugging all over the timeline and across several continents.
Meanwhile at TPHQ there is a funding and staffing problem. The latter might be solved by throwing officers down the stairs.

Hopefully can move onto the tagged, since I adored the first book! 😍
But I can hear my physical TBR screaming at me

It's 1929 in Britain. Skelton is a nerdy barrister, who's originally from Yorkshire. He takes on the case of MaryDutton, who is accused of poisoning her abusive husband.
It's a slow and meandering story, funny at times. Perfect for fans of the Golden Era murder mystery books.
First in a series.

Pub Day was 31 December
Didn't like the writing style, too much telling, too little showing. Didn't like the characters either and their insta-lust/love romance didn't work for me.
Not sure why this book is labeled 'erotica', it's pretty tame compared to some other open door contemporary romances I've read.

pickClaire returns home to her small town after years away to help solve the murder of a teen girl in a way eerily similar to her sister‘s all those years ago. Using her skills gained during her time as a homicide detective in Detroit, Claire hopes she can close this case &move on. However, when another girl is killed &more suspicious activity arises, she realizes more sinister things have been happening for years on the island than most realize.

pickThis is fast paced and action packed. It follows a nun who accidentally becomes embroiled in the supernatural.
I was intrigued by the main character being an older woman. It's something new to me in this genre. She was amazing, very realistic, reactive, and cared about the people around her.

pickSemiramis was born a commoner in a village in Assyria. Through her own ambition & machinations, she eventually becomes Queen of Assyria.
Castati‘s luxurious scene setting was present throughout the novel & her character work remains unparalleled.We see the evolution of her from an abandoned orphan to the most powerful woman. I did want to see more, & see Semiramis‘s control when she was on the throne, not just leading up to it. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickThe 2nd Raiders of Arcana book is just as fun a historical treasure hunting romp as the 1st!
Have I already read this book? Yes. Did I request this arc entirely for Picard‘s narration? Also yes. She does a fantastic job giving each character such a strong individual voice that I know whose POV we‘re in w/out any other clues. & the emotion she conveys throughout is amazing. I‘m ready to seek out books she‘s narrated w/out any more info.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
