Nicole Glover’s The Undertakers, in her Black speculative fiction Murder and Magic series, features husband and wife magical practitioners who operate as both undertakers and detectives in post-Civil War Philadelphia. My review of this entertaining mix of historical and magical mystery.
Review of When Blood Lies, C.S. Harris
Sometimes long-running series like C.S. Harris’s Sebastian St. Cyr Mysteries loose steam, but that is definitely not the case with When Blood Lies, book 17 of her series. It was named Editor’s Choice in Historical Novels Review. My review.
