The title is somewhat dumb

DJ =^^= (debzee) | 145 comments Cake on a Hot Tin Roof (A Piece of Cake Mystery #2) by Jacklyn Brady it's okay but not that interested in the series.. easy to figure who did it and I don't care much about the characters.


message 4110: by Melodie (new)

Melodie (melodieco) | 5280 comments Finished Cinnamon Roll Murder by Joanne Fluke . Gave it 3 stars. Not a bad story and a couple of recipes I think I'll try.


message 4111: by Susie (new)

Susie Fevella (susieinks) | 821 comments Just finished Tempest in the Tea Leaves (A Fortune Teller Mystery #1) by Kari Lee Townsend . It started out really good, but then I got to know the main character better and realized she was going to be one of those TSTL annoying types. If she's that bad in the next book, I'll have to give up this series.

Her attemps at B&E drove me nuts!

Kathy, I just finished The Walled Flower by Lorraine Bartlett as well. I did read the first one. Enjoyed both, obviously!


message 4114: by Nell (new)

Nell | 1223 comments Finished reading Naughty in Nice (Her Royal Spyness Mysteries, #5) by Rhys Bowen Naughty in Nice, the latest Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen. Very good mystery. This one involves Georgie's mother and friends of her father so you learn more about her family. Twists and turns keep it fresh and interesting.


message 4115: by Sue (new)

Sue (suetinge) | 622 comments Finished Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder (Hannah Swensen, #1) by Joanne Fluke this morning.


message 4116: by Beth (new)

Beth (bethlil) | 11 comments Just finished the Tenth Saint by D.J. Nico. It was unexpectedly different from what I thought it was but I enjoyed it very much The Tenth Saint by D.J. Niko


message 4117: by alicia (new)

alicia grant (shesha556) I finally finished with Hexes and Hemlines (A Witchcraft Mystery, #3) by Juliet Blackwell which I really enjoyed alot of witchiness in this one. I also finished

Baited Blood (A Madison Rose Vampire Mystery #2) by Sue Ann Jaffarian again really enjoyed it.


❂ Murder by Death  (murderbydeath) I finished up Trail of the Spellmans (The Spellmans, #5) by Lisa Lutz last night. Another excellent book in a great series.


message 4119: by [deleted user] (new)

Just finished reading 'The Affair of the Thirty-nine Cufflinks' by James Anderson. Lovely cozy read along the lines of Agatha Christie: the family gathers at massive old house for reading of the will, and then...suddenly a dead body!
Very enjoyable.


message 4120: by Susie (new)

Susie Fevella (susieinks) | 821 comments Just finished Death of a Kingfisher (Hamish Macbeth, #28) by M.C. Beaton and I was pretty disappointed in it. The story jumped around too much and Hamish (actually most of the characters) were too cranky.


message 4121: by Ellen (new)

Ellen (elliearcher) A Spoonful of Poison (Agatha Raisin, #19) by M.C. Beaton . Very satisfying Agatha Raisin.


message 4122: by Melodie (new)

Melodie (melodieco) | 5280 comments Finished Due or Die (Library Lover's Mystery, #2) by Jenn McKinlay . Love Jenn McKinlay's writing style!


message 4123: by Susie (new)

Susie Fevella (susieinks) | 821 comments Finished Under Water Under Water by Sally Gunning . I really like this series.

Finished the "Ghost Dusters" series by Wendy Roberts this afternoon. I liked this trio of books and wish that there were more, especially the way the third one ended.


❂ Murder by Death  (murderbydeath) I just finished re-reading Rattle His Bones (Daisy Dalrymple, #8) by Carola Dunn . This is one of my favourite series and I always enjoy a re-visit. :) It was also part of my Spring challenge. :)

Nell | 1223 comments But I Wouldn't Want To Die There (Jenny Cain, #8) by Nancy Pickard But I Wouldn't Want To Die There by Nancy Pickard - I read this for the March challenge - oldest cozy in your TBR. This mystery, published in '93, has the main character traveling to NYC for an interim job. It's eerie in an unexpected way - the twin towers are pictured in the skyline on the cover and there are a couple of references to the World Trade Center as Jenny arrives and orients herself to NYC.
It's a great mystery with plenty of possible motives and murderers. Pickard does an excellent job portraying the city and the character's 'fish out of water' experiences.


message 4127: by Karen M (new)

Karen M | 1436 comments I finished The Sunday Philosophy Club which had a number of the same references as another of his books 44 Scotland Street. This bothered me at first but then I got used to it, LOL.

I just finished this one last night. I agree it wasn't a bad story but not as good as some of her other books. Maybe I was just expecting too much as I was really looking forward to it to see where the characters were headed next.


❂ Murder by Death  (murderbydeath) Just put down Sketch a Falling Star by Sharon Pape . Just so-so. I'd hoped for more in this book but the characters are still a bit too two dimensional. I liked the ending though.

These books are NOWHERE near what they once were. The "triangle" has worn more than thin and she really needs to wrap that part of it up, or quit writing the books.

Kaye (momgee) | 862 comments Finished Dread on Arrival (A Hemlock Falls Mystery #18) by Claudia Bishop so-so read and then finished A Killer Read by Erika Chase which I liked much better!

Finished Stitch Me Deadly by Amanda Lee before bed last night. Pretty good read.


message 4133: by alicia (last edited Mar 30, 2012 03:07PM) (new)

alicia grant (shesha556) I finished Double-Booked for Death i really enjoyed this one too. I have been reading alot of new series starts lately.


message 4134: by Nell (new)

Nell | 1223 comments Read Evan Blessed (A Constable Evans Mystery, #9) by Rhys Bowen Evan Blessed by Rhys Bowen. This is the last one in the series and it is excellent.


message 4135: by Anne (new)

Anne Pichette | 65 comments I just finished readingSpider's Web


message 4136: by Susie (new)

Susie Fevella (susieinks) | 821 comments Just finished An Uninvited Ghost (Haunted Guesthouse Mystery, #2) by E.J. Copperman and I did like it a little better than the first book.


message 4137: by Mimmsan (new)

Mimmsan | 5 comments Just finished As the Pig Turns by M.C. Beaton--it was okay, there's something about Agatha that is very familiar and real.

Kari, Ive been reading this series also. I dont have all of the books yet, but I like this authors books.
Have you read her new witch series? written under the name of Heather Blake?

I agree whole-heartedly. I recently finished this one myself and thought it was terrific. Jenn McKinlay never disappoints me!


message 4140: by Sharon (last edited Apr 06, 2012 07:10AM) (new)

Sharon Michael | 92 comments Finished both Frozen Assets and The Taste of Copper in the last few days.

Love the main character and had hoped that the second in the series would smooth out some of the issues I had with the writing and plotting. Unfortunately, they were even worse. Will probably try the third when it comes out, but the main character was the only thing that got me through the second book.

I hate it when that happens!

Mary  (Biblophile) | 4610 comments I just finished Getting Old Can Kill You which features seniors who investigate murders. This one had a neat twist to the whole murder. Also finished MURDER IN THE HOUSE BY Veronica Heley. I just discovered this series and enjoyed it.

I thought her new Wishcraft book was pretty good. Still like the Lucy Valentine books better.


message 4143: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) The Winter Garden Mystery The Winter Garden Mystery (Daisy Dalrymple, #2) by Carola Dunn -- the second in this series. Took me a bit to get absorbed in it but it paid off in the end. The first one was the same way for me.


message 4144: by Emma (new)

Emma | 109 comments Just finished A Red Herring Without Mustard A Red Herring Without Mustard (Flavia de Luce, #3) by Alan Bradley and just love this series! I am also almost done with A Charmed Death A Charmed Death (A Bewitching Mystery, #2) by Madelyn Alt , which is good, but I am a little anxious to be done with it for some reason. I think because I keep thinking about the classics I want to read when I get done with the current pile. I wish I could be more present in what I am reading instead of constantly thinking about the next book. Oh well!


❂ Murder by Death  (murderbydeath) I just finished 50% Off Murder by Josie Belle . Another really stupid title (imo) but not a bad start to a new series. I see potential for improvement in the next book.

I probably won't get to this one for awhile, but since Jenn McKinlay's the author I'll probably like it!


❂ Murder by Death  (murderbydeath) Hunh - I did NOT make that connection. And - I didn't recognise her writing in this book at all. That's not to say it's a bad read - but it's definitely in third place in the competition with her other two series.


message 4148: by Nell (new)

Nell | 1223 comments Read A Spoonful of Poison (Agatha Raisin, #19) by M.C. Beaton A Spoonful of Poison, an Agatha Raisin mystery by M.C. Beaton. Very good. Several threads in this one and more than one wrong-doer.

Finally finished Twin Killing by Marshall Cook. Not the best installment of this series. The plot tended to drag, and it seemed to take forever to get to the real mystery. Here's hoping the last book in the series, Obsession, is better!


message 4150: by Linda (new)

Linda I read Jenn McKinlay's Due or Die, and loved it. A fantastic sequel to the first book in the Library Lover's Mystery series!
