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 Murder, historical documents, and truths are discovered.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

Quirky village, suspicious herbs, and a talking cat involved in a clove conspiracy. Along comes Dad from America with 2 pugs to join Rowen in England. Conspiracy is solved and the cat is out of the bag.

It has been a while since I last read a Mike Bowditch book--it was fun to return to the adventures of this Maine game warden. Bowditch is a likeable character who tends to place himself in extremely dangerous situations [but he does survive them!!!]. I especially enjoy his interactions with Shadow - his high content wolf-dog and his ex-prisoner pal Billy Cronk, his wife, and their five kids-the Cronklets.

I recently discovered this author in Libby and have been enjoying his legal thrillers. He has several series and I most enjoy the Ben Kincaid books. This book was set in the Pacific Northwest and involved the logging industry and environmentalists. At times, there was too much detail, but I did learn a lot! I look forward to starting #9 in the series.

When Ctescent Harbors most hated real estate developer drops dead, police suspect Sage's employee, a single mom. Sage knows she is innocent. Armed with baker's instincts, a suspicious coffee cup with unusual sediment, and Shadow, her cat, Sage questions and pieces together the answers to save her employee.

One of my top authors I enjoy reading. Had some twists and turns I thought I had figured out, then boom not even close. This author almost leads you one way then sneak in a twist that undermines your thought process leading up to it! Definitely will read another one of her books!

I have to admit I tried reading this book a couple months ago and put it down. I kept thinking about how it would play out- so I had to come back and finish it. It was a bit confusing and a little all over the place but I completed the book!

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.

This book is the first in a new series by Amanda Flower [author of many Amish/Ohio related series]. A historical novel, the focus is Orville and Wilbur Wright's younger sister, Katharine. It is set in Dayton in 1903. It was interesting to go back to a time where women were thought to be vastly inferior to men and certainly not deserving of equal rights and opportunities. Some of that thinking has changed!! I especially liked that Kate was well-educated and excelled at her Latin/Greek teaching at a High School in Dayton. To date, there are two books in the series. I have started the second one and am finding it interesting also.

Another entertaining entry in this Amish series. The murder weapon here was different from any I have seen used before - a big cuckoo falling from a giant cuckoo clock!! An Amish proverb I enjoyed from this book: 'One thing you can learn by watching the clock is that it passes time by keeping its hands busy.'
