Esmerelda Sleuth: The Other Side of the Mirror (Book 1)

Esmerelda Sleuth: The Other Side of the Mirror (Book 1)

Meet Esmerelda Sleuth. Sleuth is her name and investigating is her game. (Paranormal Investigating, that is.) Esmerelda makes a good living as an investigator in a rather progressive firm. She lives a stable and sensible life until she meets Lance; an old money "hottie" who works for a real estate firm next to her building. After accepting an invitation for a weekend getaway party, she quickly discovers that Lance has a secret. He is wealthy. That part is true. And, yes, he's procured a job as a realtor in the building next door. His secret is that he belongs to an underground society of humans who didn't abandon their connection to magic centuries ago when religion declared it evil and he has traveled through time specifically to find her and bring her back to his time to marry him. If that isn't enough of a far fetched tale to absorb, he informs her that she was born in his time to a family belonging to that same secret society and was promised in marriage to him as an infant. When enemies who didn't want to see the union of families take place made attempts on her life, her parents sent her into the future and erased her memories of them as a precaution. Possessing virtually no belief in magic, ghosts, psychics, time travel, etc., it takes some doing on Lance's part to convince her to believe his story and go back with him. When she does, the lies, deceit and attempts on her life start all over again. Will she escape emotionally and physically unscathed? "The Other Side Of the Mirror" is a steamy-paranormal-romance- mystery-thriller and book one of the Esmerelda Sleuth series.

Betrothed (Book #6 in the Vampire Journals)

Caitlin and Caleb find themselves, once again, back in time—this time, in the London of 1599. <br><br>London in 1599 is a wild place, filled with paradoxes: while on the one hand it is an incredibly enlightened, sophisticated time, breeding playwrights like Shakespeare, on the other, it is also barbaric and cruel, with daily public executions, torture, and heads of prisoners impaled on spikes. It is also a time of superstition and grave public danger, with a lack of sanitation, and the Bubonic Plague spreading in the streets, carried by rats. <br><br>In this environment Caitlin and Caleb land, on the search for her father, for the third key, for the mythical shield that can save humankind. Their mission takes them through a whirlwind of London’s most amazing medieval architecture, through the British countryside’s most breathtaking castles. It takes them back into the heart of London, where they just might meet Shakespeare himself, and see one of his plays live. It brings them to a little girl, Scarlet, who just might become their daughter. And all the while, Caitlin’s love for Caleb deepens, as finally they are together—and as Caleb might just finally find the perfect time, and place, to propose to her. <br><br>Sam and Polly have traveled back, too, and as they find themselves stuck together on their own journey, their relationship deepens, as they each, despite themselves, can’t help feeling more deeply for each other. <br><br>But all is not well. Kyle has come back, too, as has his evil sidekick, Sergei, and they are both intent on destroying everything good in Caitlin’s life. It will be a race to the finish, as Caitlin is forced to make some of the hardest decisions of her life if she is to save everyone who is dear to her, save her relationship with Caleb—and try to make it out alive.

Which JM Dalgliesh series should I start with and what is the order

5 Answers2026-07-25 14:14:22
Has anyone compared the Hunter and Crow series to Philip Kerr's Bernie Gunther books? I see the historical PI comparison, but Dalgliesh's feel less globally political and more intimately bleak, focused on personal trauma in the aftermath of war. 'A Long Time Dead' is a good starting point if that's your niche.

How do I read JM Dalgliesh books in order by series

Some people create custom databases or use apps like 'Bookly' to track series order. That's next-level organization. For me, a simple note on my phone or a marked-up Goodreads shelf is enough.

The key is having a plan before you start buying or borrowing. Winging it with a prolific author like Dalgliesh can lead to accidentally skipping a book and then having to hunt for it later, which breaks your reading flow.

Is there a complete list of JM Dalgliesh crime novels in order

Library hold queues are how I track order. When I finish one, I put the next in the series on hold. The library's system shows me the sequence, and I just work my way down the list. It's a slow but free way to consume them in order. The wait for the next book builds anticipation, too. By the time 'Silent Water' came in, I was genuinely excited, like waiting for a new season of a show. Makes each book feel like an event.

What is the complete Inspector Dalgliesh books in order list?

The contrast between the first and last book is stark. 'Cover Her Face' is almost a drawing-room mystery. 'The Private Patient' is a complex, modern procedural with deep psychological undertones. Reading them in order, you feel the genre evolving around Dalgliesh. He starts as a classic detective and ends as a modern one, all while retaining his essential self.

That journey is the reason for the order. It's not pedantic; it's experiential. You're not just checking off books; you're living through the changes in crime fiction alongside the detective. Find the list, settle in, and appreciate the slow burn. It's one of the most consistent and dignified series in the genre, and that consistency is best appreciated from start to finish.

What is the correct order of JM Dalgliesh Dark Norfolk books

Wait, are we sure 'Whisper of the Ghosts' comes before 'Secrets in the Dark'? I could have sworn my library had them the other way around. Now I'm second-guessing my own reading order!

How do the Inspector Dalgliesh books in order follow his career?

P.D. James was in no rush. She published these over nearly 50 years. That real-world pace seeps into the fiction. Dalgliesh's career unfolds with a patience that modern series, often pumped out yearly, can't match. It feels organic because it was written over a lifetime.

How are the JM Dalgliesh Tom Janssen books ordered chronologically

My two cents: Don't overthink it. Grab 'Hidden on the Fens' and see if you like the style. If you do, just read them as they were released. The development of supporting characters like Tamara Greave is one of the best parts, and you'd spoil that gradual reveal by jumping around. The mysteries are self-contained, but the emotional payoff comes from seeing this battered, decent cop navigate his world over time.

In what order should I read the Inspector Dalgliesh mysteries?

7 Answers2026-07-24 23:20:12
For a slightly different angle, consider reading them in the order they were written, but paired with a biography of P.D. James or her own writings about craft. Seeing how her life experiences—working in the NHS, serving on government boards—influenced each book in sequence adds a whole other meta-layer. Why did 'A Taste for Death,' with its focus on church and government, come when it did? It turns the reading into a literary study, which is incredibly rewarding given her stature.

How do the crime cases progress in Inspector Dalgliesh books in order?

6 Answers2026-07-24 04:22:10
Comparing the first and last books is wild. 'Cover Her Face' is a quintessential English village mystery, updated with James's sharp eye. 'The Private Patient', while still a closed-circle mystery, has a gravity and a maturity to its character studies that the first book only hints at. The prose is denser, the themes weightier. The core formula is recognizable, but it's been stretched and deepened over four decades of writing. The progression is the journey of an author mastering and then transcending her genre.

In what order should I read JM Dalgliesh Hidden Norfolk novels

It's not like a thriller series with a continuous arc. It's a character series with continuous growth. The distinction is important. The crime is the event of the week; the character is the lifelong documentary. Watch the documentary from the first episode.
