This is the 17th book in the 18 book Ben Kincaid Series. I enjoyed all of the books that I read [15] and am saddened that the last one was written in 2010. I had some difficulty in transitioning from the mainly legal to the more political domain, but I obviously grew to like the change [since I continued to read them!]. The political issues are so similar to what we are facing in current events [the Middle East; the Strait of Hormuz; tensions with Israel; etc] and they were written some 16+ years ago....amazing! I have finished the final installment, but cannot enter it until tomorrow...have to find something else to read now.

I enjoy this cozy series set in Holmes County Ohio Amish country. The animal characters are a hoot and very likeable [probably more so than the human ones]! I especially loved Jethro [the polka dotted pig] in his role as a mushroom hunter in the book. Of course, the murder victim dies by consuming a poisonous mushroom! I cannot fathom sleeping in Bailey's bed - she is the main human character and often finds both Puff her pet rabbit and Jethro sleeping with her. This was a fun summer read.

I still like this series, but it has taken a serious shift from the courtroom to the political stage. The location [Washington D.C.] seems MUCH seedier and I find I am skimming more parts [more extreme violence and sex scandals].

Tried a new (to me author) Emma Cook . She had a deep emotional writing style. She wrote from more than one perspective and intertwined them nicely. This book had some twists and turns not all were necessarily easy to unravel.

In continuing to read this series, there were a few books that were not available to me and so I had to skip to #14. This book in the series finds us moving from Oklahoma to Washington D.C. where Kincaid is defending a murder charge on the U.S. Senator from his state. I continue to find these extremely entertaining. However, some things were way too bizarre e.g. the world of goths and vampires!! Nevertheless, I have continued on to book #15!!

9th book in series. Noelle is still searching for her father. This time, she and Flynn and cat go to France to Veszernay. Murder, historical documents, and truths are discovered. Very well written

After reading #10 in the series, I noticed that I hadn't read #9 - I have now accomplished that! Certainly a typical but fun read-great entertainment on the treadmill and exercise bike!! I was surprised when the actual murderer was identified. Jehtro the pig also continues to be a charming character.

This book was amazing it took me less than 2 hours to read and had me ready to find out what was going to happened next. Joe Hill is am amazing writer and his books always have me sitting on the edge of my seat to find out what happens next.

Cordelia Rose moves to Brackendale when she inherits proprty after her unknown aunt dies. Shr was a failed journalist, now a PI. She becomes The Investigator for the town and has 3 cases within hours. On is a 30 year old murder classified suicide, a stalker, and the Mothman foretelling stanhe tidings to come.

This being the third and final book in this series makes me so sad I really loved this book more than the first two witch is very unusual for me because I NEVER like the last book but this one made me want to cry with how it ended.
