Channing Hayes' is trying to help his almost sister-in-law begin a solo stand up comic career while he recovers from the accident that took his fiancee. On the night of her big break, she vanishes. Why? Can Channing find her? The characters were enjoyable, especially Channing, but the plot was a series of events with no real detective work involved.

The start of the revised Accidental Detective series and a brand new book. A trip to Hawaii for a wedding turns dangerous when an ancient Japanese statue is found in the possession of the groom, who promptly disappears. This may be a middle grade book, but it is filled with twists and a puzzling mystery you won't want to put down.

In this well remembered picture book from my childhood, detective Donald is hired to help Mickey find out who is stealing the peanuts from the zoo shed every night. He goes through some rather fun tangents on his way to the real culprits. I loved this as a kid, my niece loves it now, and I enjoyed rereading it to her.

This is the first novel in the Detective Varg series by McCall Smith. It's lighthearted (as much as a mystery novel can be), and the polar-opposite of nordic noir. The novel is written as a series of short stories, and it was a very quick read. Half of me thinks that this was written purely as a satire of nordic noir, without grisly deaths and violence against women.
I received this book from the Penguin First to Read program (RIP).

Grey is great!
This is my second Isabelle Grey book and once again I really enjoyed this book. It was fast-paced, interesting with good characters and dynamics. The story was well-thought out and intricate with a whole web of people involved. The only bad point was that Grace seemed to come up with a lot of the answers with very little evidence but maybe she is just a good detective.
