Hi Linda,
Sorry about the delay responding. I’ve been dealing with the consequences of a house break in and a stolen car.
I don’t know any of your series, but the Charlotte Graham ones look interesting, so I’ll choose those for you.

Helen (helennn) | 1020 comments Finished my second Hanks and a Hitman (A Knitty Kitty Mystery, #3) by Tracey Drew . The author ramps up the descriptions of the two hunky males in this one a bit too much for my taste, although the mystery was good.


message 39: by Linda (new)

Linda (rudylkr) | 715 comments Finished my second March book, Murder on High. I enjoyed the first one this month better but I like that these move around and so are very different from each other.
