pickThis is the second book I‘ve read in this series about solving crimes in the National Parks. I like them. This one featured grizzly bears in Montana. I‘m looking forward to reading more.
The ultimate physical form of a detective? 🕵🏼♂️🤔
pickDoing a re-read of Catherine Aird's Callshire Chronicles. Dating from the late 60's to 80's. She wrote classic British Detective stories. They tend to be very competent and entertaining and are a good option for those who enjoy Agatha Christie. On the negative side her personal politics and opinions do seep into the books and she is comes across as stuffy and Thatcherite.

pickI can‘t believe it took me so long to read this! I absolutely loved that it was written as if it was a discovered Jane Austen manuscript. It was so believable. The author did an excellent job writing in the same style as Jane Austen. The mystery was really good as well. Also, she added a bunch of historical information from Jane Austen‘s life. And the foot notes were excellent as well. Loved it!
I am enjoying the pointed editing by a previous reader. I don‘t condone writing in library books, but I admit I am enjoying seeing an other reader catch some editing mistakes!
Went to the library & checked out a few mysteries hoping to get me reading. Now I am relaxing in my “ reading” loveseat & enjoying wine & cheese. Happy Friday!!!#FridayHappyReadingHour
Well...Pickles is not a fan of his Halloween costume lol. Currently reading tagged book to get into spooky season 🎃👻🎃
pickThe first book in Stout‘s long running Nero Wolfe mystery series. It was a wee bit long-winded but generally satisfying as a whodunnit. What makes it special are the characters: Wolfe tends his orchids and never leaves his brownstone while Archie Goodwin acts as legman and amanuensis (and the Watson to Wolfe‘s Sherlock).
I was curious about the series because Robert Jackson Bennett based his detective team in The Tainted Cup on Wolfe/Goodwin.
