ArecRain (8 KP) rated A Fashionable Indulgence (Society of Gentlemen, #1) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
This was my first time reading a novel like this but it is certainly not my last. I cannot think of a single thing missing or should be added. I love historical romance and wanted to try an MM romance. I found that I enjoyed it much more than usual romance because the couple was not dealing with the same old problems you read about in every historical romance. It was something fresh and new, with an amazing lead couple.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated Bad Twin in Books
Mar 9, 2018
PI Paul Artisan is hired to find a missing twin. However, what is his new client hiding? I enjoyed this as a mystery novel with occasional nods to Lost, the TV show it was supposed to tie into. However, if you were looking for more connected to Lost, you'll be disappointed. Read it for the mystery and nothing else.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated A Night at the Operation (Double Feature Mystery #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Comedy theater owner Elliot Freed is upset when his ex-wife goes missing. Then the police start looking for her in a suspicious suicide. What's going on? Yes, this is a comic mystery. And I laughed the entire way through. The climax came a little abruptly and the new characters were a tad flat, but I loved every minute of it.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated The Mysterious Visitor (Trixie Belden, #4) in Books

The Bob-Whites grow in number as they add neighbor Diana Lynch to the mix. She's unhappy because of her uncle. He's just shown up after being missing for years, and Diana is sure something is off. Could he be an impostor? A good mystery and the characters are still at their best. Another great read in a series I love.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated Swift Justice (A Charlie Swift Mystery #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When PI Charlie Swift is saddled with a new partner, she does everything she can to get this new woman to quit the business. Meanwhile, she has to track down the missing mother of a baby. The book has an odd combination of humorous and serious, but it really works. I liked the characters and can't wait to visit them again.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated Mr. Monk in Trouble (Mr. Monk, #9) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When a former SFPD cop is murdered in a former gold rush town, Monk reluctantly heads up there to find the killer. Along the way, he and Natalie make an interesting discovery about an ancestor. The passages from the past combine quite well with the modern mystery, making this another fun book for fans who are missing the show.

Mar 9, 2018
Gerry Porter is looking forward to seeing her family for Christmas. But soon that takes a back seat when a friend at the retirement home goes missing, only to reappear as the prime suspect in a murder. Can Gerry clear her name? The pacing was uneven, but I just love Gerry, her family, and the small town she lives in.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated Shadows of Lancaster County in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Anna has changed her name and moved across the country to get away from her past. But it all comes back to her when her brother goes missing. Does it have something to do with their past? I couldn't not put this book down. The plot was strong with enough clues to keep us going and confused. The characters were strong as well.

Kristy H (1252 KP) rated Winter's Child (Deborah Knott Mysteries, #12) in Books
Feb 13, 2018
The latest (as of mid-2007) in Margaret Maron's enjoyable Deborah Knotts series.
Now married, Deborah and Dwight face several challenges, including a murder Dwight must investigate in their small North Carolina town. While involved in that investigation, the pair find out that Dwight's ex-wife, Jonna (mother of his young son Cal) has gone missing. Dwight -- and eventually Deborah -- must travel to his ex-wife's hometown to search for Jonna, and soon, Cal as well.
Very enjoyable and suspenseful novel.

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.
