About the author
The immensely popular Booktown Mystery series is what put Lorraine Bartlett’s pen name Lorna Barrett on the New York Times Bestseller list, but it’s her talent — whether writing as Lorna, or L.L. Bartlett, or Lorraine Bartlett — that keeps her in their hearts. This multi-published, Agatha-nominated author pens the exciting Jeff Resnick Mysteries as well as the acclaimed Victoria Square Mystery series, and now the fantasy series Tales of Telenia, was well as many short stories and novellas to her name(s). Check out the links to all her works here: LLBartlett.com.
All comments are welcomed.
I loved the Booktown mysteries but lean toward traditional so this sounds wonderful! I am going to need to start at the beginning.
Do it, the Jeff Resnick series is her best! You won’t regret it.
I read the Booktown series as well as Victoria Square and enjoy them all very much. BUT Jeff’s novels are the best series. So happy to have a new one. Want to read it immediately and want to wait so it won’t be over so fast. Looking forward to more Jeff.
