My sense of January was that it was a very good month of reading. I'd happily read other books by all of the authors listed below. My pick of the month is Aly Monroe's
Icelight (in a close run race with
Diggers Rest Hotel). I usually don't start in the middle of a series, but I'm glad I did in this case and I've every intention of catching up with the first two books. It was definitely a January kind of book, set in London in the winter of 1947.
City of Heretics by Heath Lowrance ***.5

Icelight by Aly Monroe ****.5

You're obviously enjoying your post-war historical fiction at the moment Rob :)
I've just borrowed the first of Aly Monroe's series from the library - am looking forward to it
'Icelight' was my pick of the month in July last year. I agree that it is a very good book.
It sounds like you had a successful reading month Rob
Rob - I like historical mysteries too and people don't always remember that post-war historical mysteries are... historical. Thanks for sharing your list.
