Yes, and one that I think is less cozy (haven't read her Bakeshop ones). #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

It's incredible - though not a happy read. #ewgc

The other winning historical romance read for me is A LONDON CRIME LORD TAKES A BRIDE by Shana Galen - loved the h/h in this one. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Was just looking at this one. Sounds fab! #ewgc

Had been looking for good historical romance, thin on the ground lately, but was delighted by MIDNIGHT PROPOSAL by Lorraine Heath. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Ooh! Didn't know there was a new John Scalzi. #ewgc

Chris Chibnall’s THE PARKWOOD MURDERS is a police procedural that will appeal to Cleeves fans. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I’d seen a mention of book one recently so I picked it up. Was so thrilled I had the DRC for book two and could continue. #ewgc

DIVINE SHADOWS was a perfect conclusion to the incredible dark fantasy duology, that started with The Lost Reliquary, by Lyndsay Ely. Highly recommend. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Another thriller with some good surprises, IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK by Clare Mackintosh #ewgc

040

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Anna Lee Huber continues to explore the complicated, terrible history of the English in Ireland in THE BRAVEST HOUR. Love Verity and company. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Oooh, looks good. Adding to the tbr now #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Jane Casey’s new thriller EVERYTHING SHE DIDN’T SAY is nicely paced and twisty. She’s still an auto read for me. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Ooh these all look good. TBR list is growing. #ewgc

Alex Sigmore's BURIED EMBERS is an intriguing procedural introducing an arson investigator. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

I read this and thought it was a great mystery - one that could be read with some great tunes playing. #ewgc

THE GILDED ROSE by Joanna Shupe is another great gilded age historical romance. #ewgc

Definitely going to read this one. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Kristan Higgins is an auto-read for me and THE ME I USED TO BE makes me want to continue that pattern. Four women re-unite 25 years after a tragedy broke up their childhood friendship. Funny and poignant and all the feels. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Sounds great. Just put in my request on Netgalley. #ewgc

So sorry! I know how they burrow into your heart. I'm glad you had the time with her you did.

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Next up for me? Likely one of these. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

THE HEIGHTS by Ian Rankin is a standalone thriller with a murder that occurs in an luxury high rise development in London. Everyone has secrets and the police have to dig deep, while avoiding upsetting the rich and powerful, to solve it. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

In the third in the Berit Gardner series Berit is spending the winter on an island off the coast near Stockholm. She's drawn into the mystery of a wealthy woman whose death makes suspects of the family she's left behind. Moody and quietly paced. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I talked about this one last month, and same. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

MONSTER IN THE MIRROR by Janasha Prabhu is a dark mystery thriller about a woman trapped in her hometown where everyone thinks she's a killer and another murder happens. Atmospheric, melancholy and gritty. #ewgc

Jane Jorgenson @madpoptart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

And the hero is an undercover police office placed in her household as the man she's partnering with is suspected of corruption. #ewgc

So happy to have a new Lisa Kleypas as there just isn't that much published in historical romance. Loved QUEEN OF LOMBARD STREET set in Victorian England and featuring a heroine who wants to start her own bank for women. #ewgc
