I read the first one back in April of last year. I picked up the E-book omnibus of the first 3 novels when it was on sale a while back. Although I already had the first one on my Nook,it was cheaper than buying 2 and 3 seperately. Looking forward to getting back into the series. Thanks for picking it.
Hi Meg,I decided to pick Aloha Lagoon Mysteries for you. Happy Reading...
Sharon, I'll pick Agatha Raisin for you since you look like you're well along in the series (further than I am). I've enjoyed listening to the audio versions, so I recommend that format as well.
Hi, Barbara. I loved the Odelia Gray stories on PBS! So I'm going to help you get through the books by picking that series for you. (And I'll be adding ti to my TBR list, too.)
Thanks, Connie. I can't believe how much I like that sassy lady. And, full disclosure: I listen to most of my mysteries in the car on the work commute. It's a real traffic-stress reliever.
Linda C picks for JenniferI am going to pick for you the Crochet mysteries by Betty Hechtman
By Hook or by Crook (Crochet Mystery, #3)
A Stitch in Crime (Crochet Mystery, #4)
I haven't read the other series, but I have read the first one of this and it was good. Happy reading!
