The Physician
Noah Gordon
Little, Brown Book Group, 2001
The awakening of one man to the age old fight against death and spiritual enlightenment-ironically through fraud
I'll admit to allowing this book to languish in my to read pile for almost a year after I purchased it. That was a mistake and I'd like to recommend to anyone who buys this book that they read it immediately because it is soo good. I was put off at first by something ...

Susanna Gregory

The grim days of Cromwell are past. Freed from the structures of the Protectorate, London seethes with new energy, but many of its citizens have lost their livelihoods.

To Kill or Cure (Matthew Bartholomew Chronicles)
Susanna Gregory
Little, Brown Book Group, 2008
Cambridge University is in dire financial straits—the town's landlords are demanding an extortionate rent rise for the students' hostels and the plague years have left the colleges with scant resources. Tension between town and gown is at a boiling point and soon explodes into violence and death. Into this maelstrom comes a charismatic ...

The Mark of a Murderer (Matthew Bartholomew Chronicles)
Susanna Gregory
Little, Brown Book Group, 2006
A richly told tale of murder and mayhem.
This eleventh book in the Matthew Bartholomew series is a real page-turner. I have been enjoying reading this series for a number of years now, and look forward to each new installment. Ms. Gregory writes in a complex and vivid manner that demonstrates her intimate ...
Shaman
Noah Gordon
Little, Brown Book Group, 2001
A sequel that is every bit as good-and in some ways better-than the orginal, despit an 800 year time gap!
Before I actually read "Shaman" I was a little confused. How could a book have a sequel that was at all successful or keeping in the spirit of the book when the sequel is set eight hundred years after the first book. Reading it however I came to appreciate that I could ...
Unseen Vogue: The Secret History of Fashion Photography
Little, Brown Book Group, 2004
A GREAT SURPRISE
The book is essentially the companion to one of the most fascinating shows that I ever stumbled upon. Last November in London, I went to the Design Museum[founded by Terrence Conran] to view an exhibit of aluminum[aluminium]. Coincidentally, there was this Vogue show. ...
The Tarnished Chalice (Matthew Bartholomew Chronicles)
Susanna Gregory
Little, Brown Book Group, 2008
Medieval Fiction at its Very Best
Susanna Gregory is not as prolific a writer as many of the authors who write this style of book and the anticipation of waiting for a new title can be quite frustrating for the reader. However the wait is always worthwhile. Her choice of Oxford as the main backdrop ...
The Portable Door
Tom Holt
Little, Brown Book Group, 2004
One of his best
This is a book so hilarious that I have repeated bits of the jokes in two settings in the two days since I finished it (the bit about Chekov. And this one little joke made people laugh so hard that tears came to their eyes. And I can't tell jokes. And it was out of ...
Falling Sideways
Tom Holt
Little, Brown Book Group, 2004
A Frenetic Comedic Science Fiction Masterpiece
I was originally drawn to this book because of the rather odd frog on the cover, which is good, because there are a lot of amphibious life forms within, hehe. I was really not expecting the fast-paced, frantic, free-wheeling and fun read that this book turned out to ...
Choices
Noah Gordon
Little, Brown Book Group, 2005
a little different than the other 2 from the trilogy
interesting spin, much more political, addressing current society issues. The connection to the previous 2 in the trilogy is not as straight forward as it may seem. Good read, though I would have liked to see a stronger connection. Noah Gordon's strength is in the ...
The Devil's Disciples (Matthew Bartholomew Chronicles)
Susanna Gregory
Little, Brown Book Group, 2008
A Plague on Both Your Houses (Matthew Bartholomew Chronicles)
Susanna Gregory
Little, Brown Book Group, 2003
Superb
I have now read all of Susanna Gregory's medieval whodunnits (A masterly murder being the latest). They are excellent. I am sure there are many Ellis Peter's fans who will decry them as a poor imitation but they are simply the best out on the market. Admittedly it has ...
