First a quick explanation! Due to some severe health issues over the last few years, and a lingering chronic condition, my planned review schedule went right out of the window and I have been scrabbling ever since to get it back on track. In an attempt to try to regain some lost ground, I have been scrunching some of my (overdue) NetGalley reviews together into one or two posts each week: shorter reviews, but still covering all of the points I intended to. That’s the plan anyway, so let’s spring (groan) into a new selection from my back-shelves…! Title:  Murder on Lake Garda Auth ..read more
