Artifacts is only 99 cents on Kindle and looks like it got pretty good reviews so I may pick it up.
I have just finishedWicked Witch Murder . Have read them all in order , and thorough enjoy them . Although I felt this one was a bit weak in the murder side.

I think you'll like, Heidi. I read it a few years ago after meeting her at a Bouchercon and hearing her speak on a panel.
I just finished
and
. I found them both to be just okay. Perhaps more depth and plot will evolve as the series progress.Several days ago I finished
, the second in the series. Picked this one up on my Kindle and I love the characters. Well written cozy with a touch of magic.

Ok great! I will try it!
I just finished reading Classified as Murder by Miranda James. I like her characters especially Diesel the Cat. I recommend this book.
Just finished
it was okay, same cast of characters, a few more added to liven things up a bit in the Cotswold countryside.
I just finished Alan Gordon's first book, Thirteenth Night,
, a medieval mystery investigating the death of the Duke of Orsino (15 years after Shakespeare's Twelfth Night). It was good but the major clue that allowed the jester to solve the case wasn't one that the reader could have figured out, which annoys me.
Just finished
It was enjoyable but goes back to an earlier time time in the series so I found it a bit repetitive of the other books. I like to read them in sequence and prefer them to take place chronologically
I finished reading Murder Unmentionable by Meg London and found it positively charming. I noticed some reviewers complaining that they guessed too soon who the murderer was. For me, that does not detract from the mystery. The protagonist's journey as she seeks to unmask the killer is the part I enjoy most.

and thought it was a pretty good first book in this new series."I just picked that up at the library.
Finished Foul Play at the Fair this afternoon. A good first start to a series. I liked the ending. I could have done without all the internal dialogue/speculation. I literally skipped 3 pages and didn't miss a thing except an overly long recap of stuff I'd already read.But a good read! :)
Just finished The Chocolate Castle Clue & am about to start The Chocolate Moose Motive: A Chocoholic Mystery catching up with my chocoholic mysteries!
I just finished reading
by Jenn McKinlay. I really liked this book. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
I just finished reading Murder Unmentionable by Meg London. I liked the book. I am looking forward to the next book to see how she develops her characters as the story line continues.
Jennifer wrote: "Just finished
by Joanne Fluke. I like the series but the love triangle needs to be resolved soon."Don't hold your breath on that (resolving of the love triangle). That has been much discussed in this group and from what we all understand Joanne Fluke has no intention of resolving.
I finished reading Seeds of Vengeance, the last book (so far) in the Kendall O'Dell mystery series. I have had to read this series out of sequence, which I hate to do. This book refers back to Dark Moon Crossing, book 3 in the series which I haven't read yet, alot. So now, when I read Dark Moon Crossing I already know quite a bit about the story--bummer for me!However, I will again say that this is a pretty good series, set in Arizona.
I just finished reading Vlad All Over-an ARC I received from Beth Orsoff. I liked the book and recommend it when it comes out in Nov. 2012.
Finished A Brew to a Kill
for a challenge, and also to bring me up to date with this series. One of these days I really will remember to try one of the recipes!Almost done with Secondhand Spirits
-- my first by this author but not my last.
Kaye wrote: "Living the Vida Lola and Peril in Paperback"Loved both of those books! :)
I've just finished The Light Keeper's Legacy. Very good book although I still with Chloe wouldn't be so wishy-washy.
I can't believe how long it's been since I posted in this group! I was traveling most of September and early October(including a fun trip to Cleveland for Bouchercon). During my travels, I read The Mapping of Love and Death and really enjoyed it. I've put the first book in that series on my to-read list, so I can go back and catch up to the one I read, the 7th.

by Beth Groundwater. It just kept getting better as I read further."Thanks so much, Norma! I hope you enjoy the sequel, Wicked Eddies, just as much. I just got approval on the third book in the series, FATAL DESCENT, which will be published in May. I had a lot of fun researching that book, which will take place on the Colorado River in Utah vs the Arkansas in Colorado, and includes some climbing scenes. I can't wait to see the cover art!
I just finished Maids of Misfortune
and the short story
Dandy Detects by M. Louisa Locke (free Kindle books)... enjoyable historical fiction mysteries set in 1879 San Francisco.

Beth, it'll be on my TBR! I love the way you took the characters in Wicked Eddies.
I just finished Defending Angels by Mary Stanton, which promises to be an entertaining series. Starting Cloaked in Malice by Annette Blair. This is the fifth in her Vintage Magic Mystery series, and they've all been great reads! Imagine having a ghost who strongly resembles Gary Grant hanging around!
Just finished Norway to Hide
. I love this series, reading Dutch Me Deadly now. The group of travelers make me laugh every time!

Just zoomed my way thru all of Julie Hyzy's White House Chef series - very appropriate for this time of year! Wonderful series about a young woman who becomes the main Chef for the President (okay, an imaginary President) and full of neat insights into the back stage of the White House. Fun romantic interest with Secret Service staff, too. First one is "State of the Onion".

I just finished reading The Diva Digs Up the Dirt. .
The further I read, the more involved it got. (Which is exactly what I love!)
And Beth, Wicked Eddies is in my BR pile. Well, actually, on my Kindle instead of a pile. And I get to enlarge the print

I just finished
Blood Bath and Beyond. Paranormal cozy with more world building than usual, but humor kept it light. This is a transition from the paranormal romance "Immortality Bites" into mystery with the main characters becoming vampire investigators. It was enjoyable.
I just finished an advance copy of Written In Stone by Ellery Adams and think it is the best book, so far, in the series. I'd say that even if my sidekick and I weren't in it. ellery is a master storyteller, IMHO.
I just finished Naked Heat, gave it four stars, but I thought it was more like 3.5, and I hate half-stars. I just felt a little confused with all the characters involved, until the end.

I know (have met a couple times) the author of this. She and my brother are in the same online piano group and when he discovered she lives in my town, he went to meet her when he visited here and I went with. She's very nice-- and talented!
