Looked Good on Paper

 

Looked Good on Paper: A McLaren Mystery by Jo A. Hiestand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This time Hiestand has stepped out of her comfort zone a little. McLaren and his best mate Jamie are off to enjoy a fishing trip, but when he stops to pick him up, McLaren finds Jamie out cold in his backyard. Did he fall, did someone attack him? What a tough thing to handle when the very person you usually run things by is lying in a hospital bed in a coma.

Rathuun: King of the Prairie

 

Rathuun: King of the Prairie: A Western Frontier Adventure by David Fitz-Gerald
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While buffalo don’t roam the western plains of the United States as they used to, this is still a story that while surprising me, also kept me reading.

Since it was labeled as western fiction, I thought I was probably going to be reading a story of cowboys and not of buffaloes. Especially not a story where the POV is told by a young buffalo named Rathuun. And yet, it worked.

Death and the Social Climber

 

Death and the Social Climber: The Second Ann Audrey Mystery by Winnie Simpson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by Winnie Simpson, and although I don’t usually read “backward” in a series, I might have to in this one. Such a fun cozy. Set in the South, it has all of the southern charm built in with its amateur sleuth and what I’ll call the nosy aunts...
