#HauntsandHexes Grave @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Ain't no Grave by Johnny Cash

Well...Pickles is not a fan of his Halloween costume lol. Currently reading tagged book to get into spooky season 🎃👻🎃

The 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.

4.5/5. kindle. first in a series and it was a lot of fun. love the main character and the mystery/who done it! very enjoyable and as someone who lives in the american west she does a great job of capturing the landscape and feeling.

A novel with a quiet librarian living in Minnesota. The Bosnian and Serbian war was brutal with atrocities which offend common decency. The story was well written and heartfelt. 4/5⭐️

Book 2 for #turnthepage and book 56 for the year.

Interesting characters who work well together. The mystery was clever but not altogether satisfying. Can‘t really say more without spoiling.

And of course, the dog. He‘s not a magic dog with crime fighting superpowers, but he‘s a solid member of the team who makes his own contributions.

TBR for #TurnthePage. Tagged book is giving Murder She Wrote vibes and is set in Maine.

I have participated in 46 of these activities. Here are a few worth noting.
1. Hayride - no murder, but I think they‘re overrated
2. S‘mores - definitely not overrated
3. Tailgating at a football game - my husband‘s cousins all went to Penn State and have tailgating down to a science
