I liked this one, too. The killer totally surprised me.

[bella]

Just finished Death of a Trophy Wife. I really liked it, a lot more than the previous one and will definitely be picking up the next one.

This one just hit all the right bells & whistles for me. I gave it 5 stars!

[Jennifer]

One more done, 26 to go. Finished As The Pig Turns and was busily congratulating myself that I'm all caught up on this author when I found out she has published not one, but two more Hamish MacBeth since last I checked. Sigh. This one wasn't bad. She's been phoning them in somewhat the last couple years but still highly readable.

[Anne]

Ijust finished I enjoyed it. I will read more of the series

[Carolyn]

disappointed in Crunch Time - maybe series is too long

[DJ =^^=]

- cute like the other series by Jenn McKinlay

26 to go? What does that mean?

I usually read books in batches of 8 to 10. This time I went nuts picking books and wound up with 35. In my other groups the countdown has been being followed, somewhat tongue in cheek. I'm pretty sure they think I'm crazy but not dangerous.

Just finished Paper-Thin Alibi . I really enjoyed this series and was sorry to learn that there are only 3 books in it.

[Sharon]

Not sure if it really meets all the 'cozy' criteria, quite a few murders, but not 'hard edged' either. Finished Tracking Perception this morning.

[MissSusie]

Big $4.99 Mystery sale at Barnes & Noble some good cozies in this sale trying to narrow down my choices!

[Julie]

I just finished Naked in Deathand starting reading Murder at The Washington Tribune

[Jan]

I just finished Home for a Spell by Madelyn Alt. I just love this series.

[Susie]

Just finished Cake on a Hot Tin Roof. It was pretty good.

[Melodie]

Finished . I've been disappointed with the last 3 in this series. It's almost like someone else is writing them. They don't "sound" the same.

[❂ Murder by Death]

Just finished . Liked it. :)

Funny you said that Melodie because I started reading A Decadent Way to Die not too long ago and ended up setting it aside for later. I love this author, but the book just didn't feel right. Guess I need to try again.

[Julie]

Oh

[Julie]

Oh that's terrible about the Dean Koontz novel. I haven't read it yet but it's in my TBR list. You know, I've come across that with most authors at one time or another. Dean is a very good writer, and one of my favorites. But, he has written a few stinkers.

[Julie]

Yes, I agree with you about Patterson. It's hit or miss these days. I will probably try the Dean Koontz since I have already put it on the list. The last one I read of his I didn't like. Like I said, hit or miss. Books are too expensive to experiment with these days though.

[Sue]

I've pretty much given up on Patterson. I've got one in the pile, but I can't get myself motivated to read it.

[Julie]

I like the cross series. Can take or leave the others

[Toni]

Jennifer wrote: "Just finished . Liked it. :)"

Was it better than the first? I was on the fence with but did buy Let them Eat Stake since it can take a series a book or 2 to really get its groove.

[Jennifer]

Another one down. 25 to go. Finished Last Car To Elysian Fields . James Lee Burke never disappoints.

[❂ Murder by Death]

Toni wrote: "Jennifer wrote: "Just finished . Liked it. :)"

Weelll... I'm not really sure it was better but it was definitely not worse. The main character - Chef Caine - still feels a bit cold to me. But I like the other characters and I thought the plot was good.

[Ariel]

I finished and enjoyed it. It was just what I needed at the moment. You have to love that.

[Melodie]

Finished . A good read, but not as good as others in the series. Am interested to see where the series goes now that her son will be writing it since her death last year.

[Karen M]

I just finished Orange as Marmalade and I'm still puzzled. The writing reminded me of the Miss Julia books which are not mysteries. I enjoyed the book but the murder seemed almost a side note. Don't think I read anymore of these.

[Susie]

Just finished . Enjoyed the story but I hope this series isn't going to be like the romance triangle in the Fluke books ;(

[[deleted user]]

I just finished reading Ghost in Trouble by Carolyn Hart. Fun read. I enjoyed it.

[Jan]

I just finished File M for Murder by Miranda James. Lots of fun. 3rd book in the Cat in the Stacks mysteries.

[Nell]

Read I Scream, You Scream by Wendy Lyn Watson. Good first in a series. I figured out who did it about halfway through but not how or why.

[Melodie]

I loved these books! Was so sorry the series ended with just 3 books.

[Celia]

I just finished The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection and loved it! I've enjoyed all the books in the series, but this one was particularly good. I've been busy and hadn't seen the latest group reads--think I'll take a look. Cozies are comforting and I especially like the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency Series because they focus on "lesser" crimes, rather than murder.

Me too Melodie. I just don't get it. Everyone liked them here.

Did the publisher refuse to continue the series, or did the author just decide not to continue it? It almost sounds like it was the publisher's ill-thought-out and short-sighted decision. Just curious! :)

[Melodie]

It was the publisher. I e-mailed Wendy Watson a year or so ago and she replied and told me they decided not to pick up any more.

[❂ Murder by Death]

Which means the series ended on a hell of a cliff-hanger if I remember correctly? Damn publishers...

[Cynthia]

I just finished Liz Lipperman's, Liver Let Die. first book of hers I have read. Loved it. Am waiting for the next in the series.

[Melodie]

Finished which I really liked and which I really DIDN'T like!

[Susie]

Just finished . It had a few annoying moments, but the story was OK.

BUTTHEADS! (sorry, I forgot myself there for a moment.)

[Jennifer]

Two more down, 23 to go-- finished Deeply, Desperately (loved it-- did she really quit writing this series??) last night, and Crocodile on the Sandbank tonight while I was cooking dinner. Really enjoyed it too, and fortunately the series is pretty good sized!!

No. On her website she says there will be another one. Plus you've still got the 3rd one to go and there's a short story, too, that you can get on Kindle.

Yeah, I've got the third and the novella lined up but thought I'd get worried early and avoid the rush. But thank you for letting me know there's another in the offing-- YAY!!! Standing down on the angst now.....

[Sue]

I finished last night.

[Rebecca]

I just finished Cooking Up Murder..barely.. I did not enjoy this one at all.. :(

[Caitlin]

Just finished An Uninvited Ghost. I live in New Jersey near where the book was written, and I still only found it to be okay. Not sure if I will read the next one or not!
