The fourth of the Monk tie-in novels answers the question, What would happen is Sharona returned? His former assistant accidentally comes back into his life after her husband is arrested for murder. At Natalie's urging, Monk begins to look into it the case. This is another fun entry and will please fans of the TV series.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2444 KP) rated The Sudoku Puzzle Murders (Puzzle Lady #9) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Now the murder victims in Bakerhaven are appearing with Sudoku and Crossword puzzles on them. Can Cora solve the latest case? The book was still fun, but I am getting very tired of the stories involving the main character's personal lives. It's been the same for several books now. Really time to move on.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2444 KP) rated Stalking the Puzzle Lady (Puzzle Lady #7) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Cora has a problem. One of her many fans is stalking her, but she doesn't know who it is. And when he turns to murder, things really get out of hand. As always, I found parts of the book laugh out loud funny while other parts were highly suspenseful. If only the endings were stronger.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2444 KP) rated Arsenic and Old Puzzles (Puzzle Lady #14) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Cora Felton has found herself involved in another murder when a Sudoku shows up on the body of a man poisoned at a boarding house in town. It's the usual verbal sparring and puzzles fans of the series will love. I was just bothered by one action Cora took part way through the book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2444 KP) rated A Talent For Murder in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Polly Pepper has gotten a job on the next great reality show as a judge. But when another judge is murdered, Polly suddenly finds herself with a whole lot of suspects. The characters and plot are delightfully over the top in an "only in Hollywood" way. Wacky but lots of fun.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2444 KP) rated Sucker Punch (A Candy Shop Mystery, #5) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Abby Shaw is busy trying to get her candy shop ready for Valentine's Day. But she can't quite resist the lure of the local theater company, especially when a murder takes place on center stage and a friend becomes a suspect. I enjoyed the characters, but the plot really dragged in the middle.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2444 KP) rated The Black Dove in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Big Red and Old Red are still in San Francisco when a chance encounter with a friend leads them into a murder in China town. This book has some funny parts, but it is darker than the previous two books in the series. Still, it was a fun trip through the San Francisco of 1893.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2444 KP) rated A Flicker of Doubt (Candlemaking Mystery #4) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A quick kayak trip down the river behind his shop leads to Harrison finding the body of his ex-girlfriend. With the sheriff determined it was suicide, Harrison sets out to prove it was murder. As much as I love Harrison, the sub-plots took over the story and slowed the book down overall.

Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Out of Control in Books
Feb 13, 2018
Yes this was as good as the cover looks, I couldn't put it down. Its well written with some great details about oil rigs and Saudi. There were twists and turns and thrills all the way. Murder and revenge to keep you on the edge of your seat and reading into the small hours. I'd never heard of this author before but I will be reading more of her work. A FLAMMING GREAT 4 STARS
Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated An Ale of Two Cities (Literary Pub Mystery #2) in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This book is so much fun!
The mc Sadie gets embroiled in winter activities and murder when a snooty homegrown chef takes an ice pick to the chest.
Pretty much everyone who met the dingus chef had a reason to want him dead so Sadie has her hands full when a friend us fingered as a suspect.
