British Treats

We've gotten in some new titles in British imports which you might find interesting. Cath Staincliffe has started a new series with a female Detective Chief Inspector in Manchester as the protagonist. First in the Janine Fielding series is Blue Murder.

Michael Bond, known foremost for his Paddington Bear books, also wrote a delightful series of mysteries featuring restaurant critic Aristide Pamplemousse who is aided in his crime-fighting by his faithful hound Pomme Frite. We've just received Monsieur Pamplemousse Hits the Headlines, a nice dose of French cooking and crime detection.

We've also received restock on a number of titles including Brian Eastman's Rosemary and Thyme series, Georgette Heyer, Margery Allingham and others.
