James Best (jamesbest) | 299 comments Just finished DO NO HARM by Max Allan Collins, his latest novel in the Nate Heller mystery series.

Now starting THE LIFE WE BURY by Allen Eskens. I saw that it earned a bunch of award nominations for Best First Mystery Novel so I thought I would try it out.

I stayed up way too late last night reading and finishing The Hex Murder: A Golden-Age Mystery Reprint, but it was so worth it. I know, I read strange books, but they're generally good.

Araych | 676 comments Turn Coat Turn Coat (The Dresden Files, #11) by Jim Butcher by Jim Butcher

Dresden Files #11, OK to read as stand-alone altho some details may be confusing. Harry Dresden is the only wizard in Chicago with an ad in the Yellow Pages. In this story an old enemy comes to Harry for help and in the process Harry's brother (who is a vampire) gets kidnapped. Sci-fi fantasy mystery, can be fun if you're in the mood. I liked it OK but if the book had been half as long it would have been fine with me. 3 stars.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9973 comments Southern Sass and a Crispy Corpse Southern Sass and a Crispy Corpse (Marygene Brown Mystery #2) by Kate Young by Kate Young

In this second book in the 'Marygene Brown Mystery' series, the baker/amateur sleuth discovers two crispy corpses.....and her Mama's ghost says she has to investigate the crimes. The book works well as a standalone.

Fun cozy. 3 stars

Finished One Fine Day the Rabbi Bought a Cross. I really enjoyed it. While there was a murder to solve Rabbi Small worked quietly around the edges to help the various police authorities. It reminds me of Miss Marple quietly observing and talking to people and finding the hidden connections.

Seven Up by Janet Evanovich finished the audiobook of this one which was really well done. Long ago I lived in Philadelphia and there are lots of similarities to areas of Philly and family dynamics.

Araych | 676 comments Sizzling Sixteen Sizzling Sixteen (Stephanie Plum, #16) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich

Stephanie Plum #16, OK to read as stand-alone. Stephanie's cousin and employer gets kidnapped and it's up to Stephanie to get him back. Light amusing entry in the light amusing mystery series. 3 stars.

I hate it when that happens... really loved the book can see where its going or where I want it to go and then either it fades to nothing which I get annoyed by or there's a twist which doesn't make sense lol
