A house party at a isolated location, a gang of thieves ,a murder and a family legend. This was a mystery with many twists and turns with some funny moments. This was the first book Albert Campion appears, it is a well written story line and has good characters. I plan to read as many books of Albert Campion as possible. ***I received this book in return for and honest review****

The Christmas Wassail by Kate Sedley

This was a cozy mystery set in 1483 and 1484, in Bristol England. This mystery and its characters and events are in the culture and atmosphere of Plantagenet England in a small village starting to celebrate a few weeks of holiday merry making. Good storyline and characters. ***I received this book in exchange for an honest review***

Easy Go by Michael Crichton

This book was written when the author was only26 years old. The storyline was about an Egyptian tomb that had never been found. The group of eclectic characters that were trying to rob it inserted some humor. This was a fun book with a strange ending. ***I received this book in return for an honest review***

Lawless and the Devil Euston Square by William Sutton

I normally enjoy all Victorian England mysteries, but not this one. Campbell Lawless is a wanna be, he gets involved in all sorts of messes. I did manage to read the whole but it was a long read. ***I received this book in exchange for an honest review***

Celtic Run by Sean Vogel

This was a mystery/adventure with a treasure hunt. Although the clues are easy enough, they have a creative and surprising touches. It was a fun time to travel around the Irish countryside.This has a good storyline and characters that race through abandoned churches, secret passages and empty museums and the characters are truly wonderful. ***I received this book in return for an honest review***
