An Unholy Alliance by Susanna Gregory

Posted on June 28, 2012 | 1 Comment

An Unholy Alliance (New York:  St. Martin’s Press, 1996) is Susanna Gregory‘s first chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew, a physician teaching and healing–and solving murders–in 1350 Cambridge, England.  I actually like An Unholy Alliance better than A Conspiracy of Violence, Gregory’s first Thomas Chaloner novel.

Other novels about Matthew Bartholomew include

  • A Bone of Contention
  • A Plague on Both Your Houses
  • A Deadly Brew
  • A Wicked Deed
  • A Masterly Murder
  • An Order for Death
  • A Summer of Discontent
  • A Killer in Winter
  • The Hand of Justice
  • The Marker of a Murder
  • The Tarnished Chalice
  • To Kill or Cure
  • The Devil’s Disciples
  • A Vein of Deceit
  • The Killer of Pilgrims
  • Mystery in the Minster
  • Murder by the Book

I had trouble figuring out which of the books was first in the series, but An Unholy Alliance is clearly labeled as “The first chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew.”

Daughter of Ancients by Carol Berg

Posted on June 21, 2012 | 1 Comment

Daughter of Ancients (New York:  Roc-Penguin, 2005) is the fourth and final book in the fantasy series The Bridge of D’Arnath by Carol Berg.  I liked it better than the preceding book and am sorry I finished the series.

I’m planning to read her Song of the Beast next and then then, perhaps, the Rai-kirah series.

The Jungle by Clive Cussler with Jack Du Brul

Posted on June 13, 2012 | Comments Off

It’s been a while since I’ve read anything by Clive Cussler, but when I saw The Jungle on a rack of books recommended by librarians at the country library, I picked it up.  The Jungle is the newest book in the Oregon Files series.  I enjoyed it, and a reader doesn’t need to have read previous books in the series to follow the plot.

I may have to go back and read all of the earlier books as well as more novels in the Dirk Pitt Adventures and NUMA Files series.

The Soul Weaver by Carol Berg

Posted on June 5, 2012 | Comments Off

The Soul Weaver (New York:  Roc-Penguin, 2004) is Book 3 of Carol Berg‘s fantasy series The Bridge of D’Arnath.  I didn’t like it as well as Book 2, Guardians of the Keep.  I think Chapters 9 through 19 could have been cut by a third without losing anything.  The part of the book set on the new planet was disturbing and too long.

The fourth and last book in the series is Daughter of Ancients.
