• Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, November  2015 and January-February 2016 issues.  These were free so I grabbed them.  It's been a long time since since I read an issue of AHMM.  I had a subscription once, but delivery was spotty -- a full third of the issues never made it to my mailbox.  When I complained, I was told they couldn't send me the missing issues.  I dropped the subscription like a hot potato.  My luck with magazine subscriptions has never been stellar.
• James Lovegrove, Sherlock Holmes:  The Stuff of Nightmares.  "A spate of bombings has hit London, causing untold damage and the loss of life.  Meanwhile a strangely garbed figure has been spied haunting the rooftops and grimy back alleys of the capital."  The mysterious figure is known only as Baron Cauchemar and he appears to be the scourge of crime and villainy.  But is he really?  It's up to Holmes and Watson to uncover the truth.
