It’s too hot to go outside, so why not grab a book, ice tea, and a comfy place to read. Here are a few suggestions:
Laurien Berenson is starting a new Senior Sleuths series, an off-shoot of her Melanie Travis Canine mysteries.
It’s that most wonderful time of the year, when an avian-titled holiday mystery from bestselling author Donna Andrews is released into the wild! For this thirtieth entry into the long-running series, blacksmith Meg Langslow is unfortunately not currently on a skiing trip with her husband and twin sons. That is an indirect – and direct – result of her being forced to host wildlife artist Roderick Castlemayne and his subjects in her home.
