It’s that time of year! Pumpkins and fake body parts appear in yards, and our minds turn to murder… mysteries.
I have pulled together a variety of books that are Halloween themed or touch on Halloween in their plots. My recently released medical thriller below, Doctored Death, for example, does not have a Halloween theme, but does take place around Halloween and includes a Halloween masquerade charity ball.

It has been a long time since I read any of Lilian Jackson Braun’s “The Cat Who…” series, so I am enjoying a return to the series with The Cat Who Blew the Whistle. I haven’t read all of the books in this series, but I couldn’t tell you which ones I have or haven’t read. Enough that I know the main characters, and that coming back to the series is a bit like returning home.

Many cozy mystery series begin with the sleuth inheriting a store or home, sometimes from a previously unknown relative, so that she is able to fulfill her dream of opening a book store, bakery, bed and breakfast, etc. In Beaches, Bungalows & Burglaries, the opposite happens. Protagonist Mae West’s husband has defrauded people out of millions of dollars. He is in prison and the FBI have ceased all of his assets, so that all Mae is left with is a little RV park that she never knew he owned. And… spoiler alert… it is not in the kind of shape it was back in its heyday.

Believe it or not, another year has passed, and it is the eighth anniversary of publishing Looking Over Your Shoulder. Who could have foreseen that in the next seven years, I would publish another 74 titles. Together with boxed sets/omnibuses, a couple of shorts, and a recipe book, it comes out to about 118 works in total.

Stop at Nothing is the first book in Michael Ledwidge’s Michael Gannon series, and it starts off with a splash. A Gulfstream jet ends up in the drink in the Bahamas, with only one witness (and one who cannot call for help, due to a recent fishing mishap involving his radio antennae.) Fisherman Michael Gannon checks out the wreck, and you might think that would be the end of it, especially when he decides to do a little property recovery from the luggage that was on the jet. But Gannon has a rather exciting past, and the retiree fisher is more than meets the eye.

Today’s book is The Waters of Eternal Youth by Donna Leon (which I thought was interesting, as Ponce de Leon was supposed to have found the Fountain of Eternal Youth— But this is book number 25 in the Commissario Brunetti series and appears to be the only book with any eternal youth references.) In this case, “eternal youth” does not refer to the body not aging, but to a character whose development was stymied by hypoxic brain damage after a near drowning in one of the canals.
