Book suggestions for an unplugged summer?

[Sandra]

We're off to Maine this summer--no TV, no Internet. (egad!) What mysteries should I download to take along? #SandyUnplugged

[J.A.]

How about Clammed Up , seeing as it's set in Maine? =)

[Elizabeth]

China Dolls by Lisa See or any of The Cat Who books by Lilian Jackson Braun.

[Lynn]

I don't really read e-books, so I'm not sure these are all available for download, but:

Series:
China Bayles by Susan Wittig Albert
Charles Lexon by Charles Finch
Gaslight Mysteries by Victoria Thompson
Goldy Schulz by Diane Mott Davidson
Elizabeth I by Karen Harper
Captain Lacey by Ashley Gardner
Hercule Poirot by Agatha Christie

Non-Series:
Marian Babson's books

Not cozy, but definitely worth a read:
Mary Stewart's novels (the non-Merlin series ones like The Moonspinners, Thunder on the Right, etc.)

[Dotty]

Clammed Up was really good, Mary Stewart's books are great. I suggest Karen MacInerney's Gray Whale Inn series, also set in Maine. Also anything by Ellery Adams and Cleo Coyle.

Like Heidi, I really enjoyed , too! I have not read any more in the series, but the first one was really fun.

One that I've already downloaded is Laurien Berenson's new book, Gone With the Woof. SO glad to see Laurie's Melanie Travis series back!

I really enjoyed Camilla Crespi's The Breakfast Club Murder. Like Heidi, I also recommend Karen MacInerney's Gray Whale Inn series. And also Murder and Marinara by Rosie Genova.
