this is the first book in the series that I’ve read, I was a little lost at the beginning but once the story unfolded I was hooked. this is a very erotic read but they are written really well and work perfectly within the story. I loved the characters and the story, I will defiantly be going back and starting from the beginning.

Plain Living Decoded
The Foxfire Book is a collection of articles about how to survive on meager means and determination. Everything you need to know about subsistence living is addressed in one of its volumes. This is great for homesteaders, off grid livers, hikers, campers, or just people who want to know how to take care of things themselves should the need arise. Highly recommend the entire series.

When a maniac starts killing honeymooners, Lt. Boxer of the SFPD looks for help outside the box for bringing the killer to justice. This series debut had a decent plot until the ending, which was just stupid. I did like the main characters, although I could have used fewer details on their love lives.

Sir John Fielding investigates when a family of printers are brutally murdered in 1760's London. This is the second in the series. I loved the characters as much as in the first, but I found the plot way too slow and predictable, with a second plot taking up way too much time.

Peter has to produce an item he doesn't know where is or get dragged back to Turkey. Meanwhile, Grace thinks she's found a lead on a previously unknown Percy Shelley sonnet. This is a bit slower than the previous two stories in the series, but it's still a fun romp with great characters.

The large garage sale Meg and Michael are throwing to clean up their new home is drawing huge crowds. Sorry, the body in that trunk isn't included. The humor had me laughing the entire way through, and I thought this was the best mystery of the series. Very well done.

The Grace family has moved into the house of a distant relative. The first night, the kids hear a noise in the walls. The next day, they find an old manuscript. Might it explain what is happening? It's an important first step in this series of interconnected novellas, but just being set up weakens it some.

The pope is coming to LA, and Madeline is catering the welcome breakfast. But while prepping, she finds a letter that seems to confess to a murder, and it sets her off on a mystery with ties to the past. Still my favorite in the series with a fast paced, twisty plot and such wonderful characters.

Madeline and her friends have just wrapped up a fundraiser for a private school. Then over the news comes the announcement that a dead woman was found in Madeline's bed. What was she doing there? Was Madeline the target? A very tightly plotted mystery with a great characters. One of the highlights of the series.

The third in the tie-in series finds Monk filling in as homicide captain while the department is on strike. Yet his "team" is worse off then he is. Good mystery with some very funny scenes. Recommended either way, but most definitely recommended for fans of the TV show.
