Carolyn | 1630 comments The Last Remains (Ruth Galloway, #15) by Elly Griffiths The Last Remains by Elly Griffiths appears to be the final book in this series. I shall miss all the characters, especially Ruth and Cathbad. It was fun having an archaeologist and a druid as characters in a crime series.

PattyMacDotComma | 1260 comments A couple more fun ones from Amazon's Busybodies Collection, cosy mysteries.

Crime of Fashion by Emma Rosenblum takes place at a fashion shoot where a minor underling is accused of stealing a necklace worth $3million! Poor kid.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Nosy Neighbor is by Nita Prose, who wrote the popular The Maid, among other things. It seemed straightforward, but I should have known better. Nicely twisty.

Thomas (tom471) | 1355 comments I read Righteous Strife: How Warring Religious Nationalists Forged Lincoln's Union by Richard Carwardine It is not a mystery, but a scholarly book on how religious denominations reacted to the civil war, slavery and secession. I recommend it to anyone interested in how religious beliefs influenced viewpoints on the above subjects. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Mask of the Deer Woman by Laurie L. Dove

Heartbreaking story of the many missing and/or murdered Indigenous Women who are often ignored by law enforcement and news media. The magical realism element of Indian lore included in this story is beautifully written.
