There were two mysteries that ended up being connected, but not in too convoluted a way. Right when I thought it was going to be a Ned-less mystery he showed up like an afterthought 😂

Can‘t wait for the discussion.
pickMy first introduction to this delightful, 92 year old sleuth & local newspaper writer, Victoria Trumbull. A generational native of Martha‘s Vineyard,she has the respect of most Islanders,which helps when she investigates several murders. Are they linked, or random, separately acts? The authors, descriptive writing evokes, the islands, terrain, and beauty. She establishes a wonderful sense of place, #cozy #serieslove2025 #coffeeandbooks
The tagged book is the first in the series of Murder Most Unladylike. Set at a boarding school where the girls become amateur sleuths until one day there is a real case to solve. It‘s typically English featuring rain, scones and lacrosse! 😂 @BookmarkTavern
pickThe 4th Novel of the Leaphorn and Chee series and the inspiration for the AMC series “Dark Winds”. Navajo tribal police solve murders in the early 1970‘s. This book inspired season two of the Dark Winds series
pickI was aware of the big twist at the end, but even knowing that I really enjoyed reading this book. It was well written and easy to read. The character of Teddy was a good character. The exploration of the insane asylum was very interesting.
pickDictionary editor Martha returns to Oxford an after the disappearance of her sister. Cryptic letters start arriving alluding to the mystery. Martha and her colleagues set to figuring out the puzzle, through a maze of words and Shakespearean clues. At times this lost me; I didn‘t have the headspace for the lexicography. The pace soon speeds up however, and the writing has a gentle cleverness that suits the Oxford setting
pickI liked that this one had less overt racism than other entries in the series and it didn‘t include any mention of the creepy tooth collection. However, the solutions seem to stretch logic - the solutions could be right, but there are other explanations that are overlooked/ignored. Good for the target audience, though. #ebbr
