In July I read 8 books, 6 of them crime fiction. They are (in the order I read them):
- A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton
- Bad Boy by Peter Robinson – review to follow in a later post
- The Crimson Rooms by Katharine McMahon
- Death at the President’s Lodging by Michael Innes
- Dead Simple by Peter James
- The Flight by M R Hall – review to follow in a later post
The other two books I read are:
- A Mercy by Toni Morrison – review to follow in a later post
- The Glass Guardian by Linda Gillard
And my Crime Fiction Pick of the Month is The Crimson Rooms by Katharine McMahon.
Kerrie has a round-up post of bloggers’ book choices for the month, so for more recommendations, go to Mysteries in Paradise.

I’ve seen several excellent reviews of ‘The Crimson Rooms’ and for once my library service has a copy. I hope it doesn’t take too long to turn up.

I keep coming across references to Michael Innes (my mother always enjoys his work as well), so I shall have to try and find some.
