Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk was on the “mystery” shelf, but I am not sure I would classify it as such. It does involve a murder (in fact, a string of murders) which are solved at the end of the book, but it is very literary and does not at all follow the plot of a sleuth trying to solve the murders.

I am currently reading Betty Hechtman’s Dead Men Don’t Crochet, a well-woven cozy mystery with some unexpected twists and tangles… okay, I’ll lay off the puns now! Dead Men Don’t Crochet has all of the expected tropes — a protagonist who works at the library and takes part in a crocheting club, solving murders on the side. Her boyfriend is a cop, of course, and while he keeps telling her not to interfere with the investigation, I assume he will give her a hand the moment she is in trouble. Good characters and a nice tone so far. Curl up by the fire for this cozy read.

I have read several books with rather dark themes lately, and even though I have enjoyed them, I decided I needed a lighter pick-me-up for my next read. Scrolling through my library app wasn’t bringing me much joy—it must be the season for darker mysteries and thrillers—and then I spotted an Aunt Dimity book. I’ve read a few books in this series, so I grabbed it and started in. Well, a couple of chapters in now, and Aunt Dimity & the Summer King by Nancy Atherton is more than just a reintroduction to some familiar characters—I’ve read it before. But I remember it as being a fun, pleasant read, with interesting characters and a good premise. Not just fluffy, but something I could sink my teeth into. So I’m going to read it again!

One of my goals this year was to work on getting some more audio out. While I have a few audiobooks out, most of them are for stand alone books and YA, not on my longer mystery series, which is a poor marketing choice! Audio is expensive, so it can be tough to make your investment back if I don’t get many buyers. But I have some strategies in place and hope to be able to pump up audio this year.

y current read is Blind Search, by Paula Munier, the second book in the Mercy Carr mystery series. It is set in Vermont and includes lots of description of local flora and fauna (though not in so much detail that you want to skip over it.) Mercy Carr, the main sleuth in the book, is ex-army and has an army-trained dog (Elvis) to help her out with her investigation. Her sidekick is a game warden and also has a dog (Susie-Bear) trained to track.
