Have you heard of Anteater of Death?

/ 2 minutes of reading / 1 Comment

This week’s teaser comes from The Anteater of Death by Betty Webb. A very nicely-done cozy. I would definitely read more in the series. A cozy mystery with a zoo full of animals behaving like animals and humans behaving like savages. Plenty of suspects, lots of twists and turns, and pleasant diversions into zoo life, boats, and the protagonist’s relationships with her family, coworkers, friends, and new love interest.

Read this yarn – Dead Men Don’t Crochet

/ 2 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

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.

Follow the Clues in Aunt Dimity and the Summer King

/ 3 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

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!
