Devoured: Cobblered to Death
One of the books I read this week was Cobblered to Death by Rosemarie Ross. It is a culinary cozy mystery, the first in the Courtney Archer series. Host of a television show about rural cooking, Courtney is helping to cohost a cooking competition, and wouldn’t you know it—somebody dies. There are plenty of twists and turns as Courtney (and the local security guy and the sheriff) try to figure out which of the other contestants might have done the dirty deed.

Mysteries with just a hint of romance
This year, I am going to let just a taste of romance into my Valentine’s Day post. No, I am still not interested in the love at first sight or romantic date tropes, but I thought I would feature some slow-burn romance in the mystery genre.

Chew on this: Thirty-Three Teeth
Thirty-Three Teeth by Colin Cotterill is the second book that I have read in the Dr. Siri Paiboun Mystery series. (And though it is the second book in the series, the other one that I have read is actually #4, Anarchy and Old Dogs.) This mystery series is very different from any I have read before. It is steeped in the Lao setting and culture, with lots of fascinating plant names (like dog fart flowers and bull testicle trees), political red tape, and history.

Careful of Thy Wishes is the 13th book in the Reg Rawlins series. It can be read as a stand alone or as part of the series. I always try to include enough information to understand who everyone is and what is going on, but of course your experience is that much more enhanced if you know the deeper background of the characters and what has been going on in Black Sands up until this point.

Back to the school yard with Big Little Lies
I am currently reading Big Little Lies by Lianne Moriarty. What a fascinating book! While it is a murder mystery, you don’t even know who has been killed or under what circumstances. You just know that one of the parents was killed during the (primary/elementary) school’s Trivia Night. The book takes you through the various conflicts and secrets that have been festering in each of the women’s and men’s lives over the past several months, building up to what happened at the Trivia Night?
