|title=Angel and the Actress
|rating=3
|genre=Crime
|summary=Joan Minter, award-winning actress, was murdered in front of a gathering of her closest friends, but no one saw who did it - or could possibly have been the one who did it. Inspector Angel and his team of detectives were called out to her home, at the foot of the Pennines, in Bromersley. Angel was going to be kept busy though. A young man was found murdered in his home. His wife hadn't expected him to be there - and nor could she explain the new vacuum cleaner which had appeared since she left for work that morning, or the fact that the fridge door was wide open. Then there's the theft of a handbag, which leads to a family's two cars being stolen. And just to top it off, Angel's wife is away visiting her sister.

|summary=A prestigious library in the heart of Venice discovered that pages had been cut from many of its most valuable books and that several others were missing. This would normally have been investigated by a specialist department in Rome, but Commissario Guido Brunetti agreed to look into the thefts - partly for personal reasons and partly because it was the simplest way to move the problem forward. The staff at the library were certain that an American researcher was responsible, but there were quite a few factors which didn't quite add up for Brunetti and he decided to look at some of the other regular attenders at the library.

|title=Elementary: The Ghost Line
|rating=3.5
|genre=Crime
|summary=Once an author dies, the characters they created are often left alone to live off this initial legacy, but it is increasingly normal to see past heroes rise again – quite literally in the likes of [[Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith|Pride and Prejudice and Zombies]]. Once out of copyright you can do what you like to a character; a character just like Sherlock Holmes. Not only do we get numerous new books starring Holmes set in the Victorian era, but there are currently two separate TV shows about modern Sherlockian adventures. ''Elementary'' is set in America and is more liberal than most adaptations with the lore, but can the tie in novel evoke any memories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?
