Love this middle grade mystery series! This is book 5 and I hope there will be more.

MaureenMc My daughter and I love this series, too! We‘re in the middle of this installment, which we‘re reading on audio as a family. 2mo

Amie @MaureenMc I listened to the first book in the series and it was really good on audio. The narrator was entertaining. The series seems like it would make for a fun family listen. 2mo

Cottage Sinister | Q. Patrick

📬Recent bookmail.
Season of Snows has newlyweds torn apart by the war. While the husband is serving, the wife finds herself being pursued by the married partner at the firm where she works. Then her newly released POW husband returns. (Queue dramatic 🎶)
Cottage Sinister is one of the Quentin books that is co-written by a woman. And it sounds like a terrific read.
Doesn‘t this Belgian chocolate bar look like the perfect Middlebrow accompaniment?

Sycamore Gap: A DCI Ryan Mystery | L. J. Ross

pick

This was a great palate cleanser. A police-procedural, and book two in the DCI Ryan series, this kept me reading and guessing all the way. Loved the Northumberland setting. I‘ll confess to being a little confused with the way the ending turned out and disappointed that one major plot development wasn‘t wrapped up. I guess in that respect the trick to get me reading the next one worked! 👇

JillR Poor Sycamore Gap and it‘s now-felled tree. We had one of our best family walks along an 8-mile stretch of Hadrian‘s Wall to Housesteads Fort via Sycamore Gap a few years ago. There are probably better police-procedural books in the genre but I do love that this series is set in an area we‘ve spent some great holidays in. 3mo

Friday, Volume 2 | Ed Brubaker

Ed Brubaker is a mystery master! I was planning on reading one of the three chapters but just read the whole thing. I'm not sure when book three is going to be released, so I might just buy the issues digitally...

Aimeesue @AlaMich @Ruthiella @LeahBergen @dabbe She is absolutely ridiculous. And amuses me to no end. 🤎 4mo

Aimeesue @squirrelbrain Gotta be honest, I picked her out of the adoption lineup because of those eyebrows. 😄 4mo

Aimeesue @CatLass007 Her name is Charlotte, after the famous spider, but we usually call her Charlie. She‘s Some Dog 😉 4mo

CatLass007 @Aimeesue Charlotte is a great name for a dog. So is Charlie. 🐶 4mo

dabbe Charlie, you're friggin' adorable! 🤩😍🤗 4mo

Aimeesue @dabbe It‘s a good thing she is, because she is an extremely curious, high-energy troublemaker who gets into EVERYTHING and tries to eat it. I‘m just thankful that she seems to have decided that books are not delicious 😂 4mo

dabbe @Aimeesue 🤩😍😂 4mo

Hot water bottle, hot toddy, wool blanket, and an epistolary murder mystery - I do love these winter nights 💙

Tamra So nice! 4mo

Aimeesue @Tamra Super cozy! So cozy that i sometimes accidentally drift off to sleep 😄 4mo

Tamra @Aimeesue even better! ☺️ 4mo

shanaqui I did love this one -- the clues are surprisingly fresh, e.g. the one based on the music. I found myself inhaling it! 4mo

Aimeesue @shanaqui That‘s good to hear! I am unexpectedly finding Detective Inspector Hope very, very funny! I love the way he ends all his letters to Julia. 😁 4mo

The Archer Files: The Complete Short Stories of Lew Archer, Private Investigator | Ross Macdonald

pick

This is a LOT of short stories—every single one featuring Lew Archer—and there are fun extras like a biographical sketch of Archer pulled together from the various books and some fragments of scenes that didn‘t (necessarily) end up as complete books. Recommended for the Archer completist.
