Necropolis is a gorgeous dream of Delhi
Necropolis by Avtar Singh Akashic Books Mystery & Thrillers, Science Fiction/Fantasy Pub Date: June 7, 2016 Review Necropolis is a beautifully composed novel that highlights Delhi's unique culture where tradition wages a subtle war against modern values. On superficial examination, the novel is composed of the cases assigned to detective Sajan Dayal and his team. These cases differ from the standard police procedural in that the struggle for power between the old guard (the

Miss Seeton has as much in common with Miss Marple as Abbott and Costello have with Holmes and Watson. Actually she has more in common with Abbott and Costello, her antics, like theirs resulting in immense quantities of comic mayhem.
Miss Seeton wouldn't call herself a detective. She has no idea that the police use her because of her amazing ability to unknowingly upset th

Everyone loves to hate lawyers. Somehow they always come across as smarmy tricksters more interested in making money than in justice. Bedlam and Belfry are the worst of the worst, or the best of the best if you consider the size of their pocketbooks and their courtroom successes. Had the stories in this anthology been wr

Review Jazz age New York City - a city of glamor, thrills, and murder There is something about Jazz Age New York that captures the imagination - the glamorous allure of speakeasies, charming gangsters in sharp suits, high living and fast times. Decadence and corruption served up on a silver platter. It is not surprising that the reader

Ok, I admit it. I am a fan of 60s spy-fi. Callan is one of my all time favorite tv series. I also love fantasy. So it is no surprise that in my mind magic and Cold War spy fiction go together as well as peanut butter and chocolate. The Witch
