Jo Tulip is called on her wedding day to visit a crime scene. The victim is a fan of Jo's household hints column. When her personal life goes south, Jo begins her own investigation into the murder.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated Set Sail for Murder in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Living legend Polly Pepper joins her fellow cast members from her TV show on a cruise to relive their glory days. However, the first night out, one of the co-stars is murdered. This is the fourth in the series, and the characters were still over the top fun, however the plot was very easy to figure out.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated Evanly Bodies (Constable Evans, #10) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Evan is assigned to the murder of a professor through an open window. Meanwhile an Arab family moves into Llanfair, and they have problems of their own. The final book in the series features great twists and the usual charming characters.
While I love the author's two current series, I keep hoping she will find time to revisit Evan and company.

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.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated Goody Goody Gunshots (A Candy Shop Mystery, #4) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Abby witnesses a murder, naturally she leaves to call the police. Only when they return, they can't find a body. Then Abby sees the victim around town. What's going on? This is the fourth in the series, and I thought it was the best one to date. The characters are strong and the plot kept me guessing until the end.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated The Dead Cat Bounce (Home Repair is Homicide, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree has moved to Maine and bought a fixer upper in an attempt to get away from the rat race. But it doesn't quite work out when she finds a dead man in her house and her best friend confesses to the murder. The book starts out very slowly, but as I went along, it did begin to get better.
