Marie Howalt: A Study in Black Brew Transparency note: I was given this as an e-arc. It has got decorative initials! Of course, this isn't a per se argument for or against a book, but I love initials at chapter beginnings and I have no idea why this isn't the standard anymore. I'm not even asking for medieval all-out fancy, artistic illustrations in letter-form - just enlarge that first letter, and there you go.

I received an arc of Marie Howalt's upcoming novel "A Study in Black Brew" and finally have gotten around to share my thoughts in English & German.

Marie Howalt: The Stellar Snow Job When I started this blog, I started with the third part of Marie Howalt's ongoing Colibri Investigations series, intending to put up reviews for parts 1 & 2 later. I'm actually starting that "project" today with posting about the first novel in the series, The Stellar Snow Job. So, if you're looking for sci-fi with a hopeful spin, a touch of humour, a dash of crime fiction, and a generous helping of casual queerness, I might have a recommendation for you.

After starting my blog with part three, here's my thoughts about the first part of Marie Howalt's Colibri Investigations - in English and German.

Ok, still working on this share option... 😅 Posted my first review on my new blog - maybe it isn't ideal to start with a third part of an ongoing series, but here we are
