It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.Deathwatch

Journal Entry 1 by catsalive from Rooty Hill, New South Wales Australia on Wednesday, February 7, 2007
From Publishers Weekly
The setting is London just before the turn of the century, but Harrison's third mystery featuring the veteran detective-sergeant Joseph Bragg and the toney young constable James Morton has a distinctly modern air. The Home Office has assigned its Special Branch to investigate recent union activity, but when the body of an undercover officer is found impaled on the spiked railing of Allhallows Church, the coroner puts Bragg on the case. Then Bragg is framed on a rape charge and it's up to Morton, with the assistance of a feisty young female reporter, to find out who is stirring things up and why. Elements of industrial and international espionage, military technology, romance and even a suggestion of partisan terrorism build to a high-flying, balloon-chasing climax in this tale that's a period piece only in its trappings.

Thankyou. This looks a little different.
I enjoyed this book. The setting was a bit different to usual and the mystery had enough twists and turns to keep me guessing.
