About Me

Melfort, Saskatchewan, Canada
I am a lawyer in Melfort, Saskatchewan, Canada who enjoys reading, especially mysteries. Since 2000 I have been writing personal book reviews. This blog includes my reviews, information on and interviews with authors and descriptions of mystery bookstores I have visited. I strive to review all Saskatchewan mysteries. Other Canadian mysteries are listed under the Rest of Canada. As a lawyer I am always interested in legal mysteries. I have a separate page for legal mysteries. Occasionally my reviews of legal mysteries comment on the legal reality of the mystery. You can follow the progression of my favourite authors with up to 15 reviews. Each year I select my favourites in "Bill's Best of ----". As well as current reviews I am posting reviews from 2000 to 2011. Below my most recent couple of posts are the posts of Saskatchewan mysteries I have reviewed alphabetically by author. If you only want a sentence or two description of the book and my recommendation when deciding whether to read the book look at the bold portion of the review. If you would like to email me the link to my email is on the profile page.

3. – 53.) Dreaming of the Bones by Deborah Crombie – An English mystery set in literary Cambridge with the most stunning plot twist I have read in a long time. (Jan. 19/01)

2. – 52.) A Gathering of Saints by Christopher Hyde – A dark thriller/mystery in which a serial killer and a German spy are pursued with the Ultra secret at stake. Excellent. (Jan. 12/01)

1. – 51.) Tournament of Shadows by Karl E. Meyer and Shareen Blair Brysac – A fascinating history of the English/Russian rivalry over the 19th and 20th Centuries in Tibet, Afghanistan and central Asia. (Jan. 5/01)
