Goodbye, Ms. Chips (Ellie Haskell Mysteries, No. 13) ReviewA word of warning: if you're looking for a cunning mystery novel full of plot twists and turns that keep you guessing till the very end, this isn't really the book for you. "Goodbye, Ms Chips" is an enjoyable, engrossing funny book -- but it really isn't the mystery read of the year.
Ellie Haskell's good friend, Dorcas Critchley, wants Ellie to turn her detecting skills towards discovering who has stolen the sports cup from the trophy case in the assembly hall of Ellie's old school, St. Roberta's. The trouble is that Ellie would much rather not to return to the very place where she really blotted her copy book by committing an act of great cowardice. But Dorcas (and he headmistress, Mrs. Battle) are afraid that news of the theft will tarnish the school's reputation, and rather hope that Ellie will take on the case and discover who stole the cup before news of the cups becomes public knowledge. Unable to resist Dorcas' entreaties, Ellie soon finds herself back at St. Roberta's, going undercover and emersing herself in boarding school life, sifting through the rumours, trying to figure out of the theft is a case of a prank gone wrong or if something more dire is underfoot...
Reading "Goodbye, Ms Chips" reminded me of all those English boarding school books I used to be addicted to as a child, Dorothy Haskell did a wonderful job of making this Ellie Haskell installment an entertaining and enjoyable salute to the genre. It is true that the "mystery" bit of this book took a while to get going, but the book was such a humorous and witty read that I didn't find that this was too much of a detraction. If I had any criticism of "Goodbye, Ms Chips" it was that it was not very well edited (and this is more a criticism of Ms Cannell's publishers than anything else), and that the ending was a little too rushed for my taste. "Goodbye, Ms Chips" may not be the mystery read of the year, but it certainly was a delightfully sharp and pleasurable read.Goodbye, Ms. Chips (Ellie Haskell Mysteries, No. 13) Overview

Hazardous Duty (Squeaky Clean Mysteries, No. 1) ReviewGabby St. Clair wants to be a CSI specialist. She's always loved science and mystery. Family trouble demanded her time and she didn't finish college. Now, she's given up her dream so she can clean up after murders, assaults and the occasional cat lady.
But with her inclination toward crime solving, Gabby can't help but notice some things don't add up at the site of a murder. And when she takes her suspicion to the police, she's met with incompetence or maybe it's a cover-up. And then a bomb shows up on her doorstep. She's definitely making someone nervous.
Hazardous Duty switches pace from comedy to spine tingling suspense with quick deft skill. Barritt has a great cast of odd-ball characters backing up her heroine: a way-too-cute new neighbor who stacks up to be a bum like Gabby's dad; a vegan who is willing to give a pro-animal speech at the least provocation; and a cop who looks like Brad Pitt and who might be trying to kill Gabby.
Hazardous Duty by Christy Barritt as much fun as I've had reading a book in a while. I feel like Christian fiction, which I love and write, has just turned a corner with this book. It's as funny and fast paced as any book, created with Christian readers in mind with no offensive language or situations--unless picking skull fragments out of a wall offends you--which is possible. It's pure entertainment with a Christian worldview. - Debbie W. Wilson, [...]Hazardous Duty (Squeaky Clean Mysteries, No. 1) OverviewA forensic scientist wannabe becomes a remarkable crime solver in this CSI-type mystery. Guaranteed fiction! (20070108)

Love, Lies and Liquor (An Agatha Raisin Mystery) ReviewAgatha Raisin has two addictions in life---one is butting in where others fear to tread and the other is James Lacey. Both consume her in this latest adventure of the middle-aged detective who prides herself on her good legs.
Can she find lasting happiness with her ex-husband? Agatha is hoping so, and the reader finally sees Agatha wising up to James' cold and unaffectionate nature. Can that actually be Agatha Raisin rejecting James? Spurning his advances? The game playing is over and Agatha is the clear winner. Or is she?
Devotees of this series, of which I am definitely one, will enjoy M.C. Beaton's trademark humor and laugh-out-loud moments as James whisks Agatha away on a mystery vacation. With lacey lingerie, sexy dresses, and visions of romping on beaches and beds along the French Riviera, Agatha sets off with great expectations. When James' dream vacation turns out to be a run-down and very seedy hotel in Snoth-on-Sea, England, Agatha realizes the life she wants with James may never be possible. In a refreshing change of pace, the pursuer becomes the pursued and Agatha can see a future without James.
Once again her grouchy disposition and smart-aleck mouth lead to trouble, this time to the murder of a fellow guest at the hotel. When the brassy guest is strangled on the beach with Agatha's scarf, the police are eager to arrest the obnoxious Ms. Raisin. Agatha springs into action to solve the case and clear her name. As usual, there are myriads of minor characters, though Beaton has done a better-than-usual job of delineating each one for the reader. In addition to the staff from her detective agency, old favorites like Sir Charles Fraith, Mrs. Bloxby, Ron Silver, and Bill Wong return. Stolen jewelry, heavy drinking, and a raging sea figure prominently in this latest adventure. And in a classic moment, a Chinese waitress laughs at Agatha's name and tells her she might as well be called Mrs. Prune. The seventeenth adventure does not disappoint and leaves us with an unexpected, but totally Agatha-like cliffhanger.

The Cruelest Month (Three Pines Mysteries, No. 3) ReviewThis book is #3 in the Three Pines mysteries and I am guessing that the negative reviews of this book come from people who have not read the previous two books. This book relied on a continuation of storylines from the previous books much more than book #2. I really enjoyed Cruelest Month and a big part of the reason I liked it is because it resolved some of the issues left in suspense from book #2. This author is such an incredible writer and the mysteries are intricate and surprising, so that I think this book is still strong on its own, but I definitely think you should read the first two books to truly appreciate #3. I couldn't disagree more about another reviewer's assessment that the characters are boring. The diverse, complicated, and realistic characters are why I love these books so much. Every book gives the reader more insight on each of the main characters. I really have a soft spot for Clara and Peter. The only reason I gave this book four and a half stars instead of five is because the end felt slightly unabalanced, with more focus on the culmination of the political intrigue/conspiracy to bring Gamache down than the resolution of the murder. I thought the "outing" of the murderer suffered slightly at having so much going on for Gamache personally. But still a fantastic book and I am eagerly awaiting hte next installment.The Cruelest Month (Three Pines Mysteries, No. 3) Overview

The Dower House ReviewThis novel is a wonderful glimpse of the vanishing world of the Anglo-Irish. It is the story of Molly Hassard, who grows up first at Fern Hill, a beautiful but slowly decaying dower hose, and then at Dromore, her uncle's island estate, to which Fern Hill belongs. Molly and her more privileged cousin Sophie are forced as they grow older to make choices between the romantic genteel poverty of the Anglo-Irish lifestyle in which they were raised and the comfort, prosperity and hard practicalities represented by life in London. Because they are women, and it is the 1950's and 60's, their choices are really about they men they choose to marry. Annabel Davis-Goff writes tenderly and evocatively about a disappearing way of life. One of the best things about this book is that Molly is completely aware that her childhood belongs to a past that will never be recovered, and she, like the reader, is enchanted by all of it -- the houses and the way they were run, the gardens, the parties, the local characters, and perhaps most of all, the proud and impractical Anglo-Irish themselves, represented most vividly by Molly's father, Tibby, and her aunt Belinda, and embodied in Molly's eyes in Desmond Paget. If you like novels of England-between-the-wars (e.g., Angela Thirkell), England-during-WWII (e.g., Elizabeth Jane Howard's "Cazalet Chronicles"), and England-after-the-war through the 60's and 70's (e.g. Rosamunde Pilcher), you will enjoy this well-written, moving book. I liked it so well that I have ordered Davis-Goff's memoir, "Walled Gardens: Scenes from an Anglo-Irish Childhood," from Amazon.co.uk (it's out-of-print in the US).The Dower House Overview

The Spring Cleaning Murders: An Ellie Haskell Mystery (Ellie Haskell Mysteries) ReviewThe opening of this entry is as funny as the opening to *The Thin Woman* [first in the series], which I recently reread. The rest of the book is delightful. One of the things that I like about this series is that Ellie is among the handful of female mystery solvers who is permitted to be happily married. I'm so glad that Ms. Cannell hasn't broken up said marriage or bumped off Ben. The end of the book made me wonder if Mrs. Cannell was thinking of Louisa May Alcott when she wrote it. The atmosphere reminded me of *Little Women*, the book that taught me that book friends are never lost. (You just turn the pages back to the beginning and your friend is alive again.) Then again, perhaps I felt that way because Vanessa's daughter, Rose, made me think of Ms. Alcott's Rose in *Eight Cousins* and *Rose in Bloom*. I look forward to my next stay at Merlin's Court.

Capable of Murder ReviewCAPABLE OF MURDER- REVIEW
Expatriate Belinda Lawrence returns to England after an adolescence spent in Australia. She visits her Great Aunt Jane in a tiny village near Bath and receives a chilly welcome. After that visit, her great-aunt and she have minimal contact,just exchanging cards at Christmas time.
Years pass then Belinda is surprised to receive a note from Great Aunt Jane asking her to visit. Again Belinda takes the train to Bath and the little village where her reclusive great-aunt lives. En route, a fellow passenger bothers her.
At her great-aunt's dismal stone residence, Belinda thinks the house's deserted until she stumbles over Aunt Jane's body at the foot of the stairs. The police coroner informs the shocked Belinda that her relative has been dead for days. The ruling by the court is "accidental death."
A few days later,Belinda receives a letter from her great-aunt's solicitor asking her to visit his office at her convenience. She again takes the train from London to the village and this time hears quite pleasant news, her great-aunt has left her the house and property plus a sizable sum of money.
The pleasant woman who lives next door with her sibling befriends Belinda. The woman's younger brother surprisingly turns out to be Belinda's troublesome fellow traveler on the train. He is a landscape gardener who is most interested in restoring Aunt Jane's garden. For some reason Aunt Jane would never let him.
Tired of city life, Belinda decides to move to the village and live in the house her great-aunt has left her.
The great-aunt's death has been a shock, but Belinda's not prepared for what is coming. Danger encircles her and she senses she's threatened but has no idea why or who wants to harm her.
With interesting characters,Brian Kavanagh's well-crafted, seductive tale,Capable of Murder lulls the reader into a false sense of security then attacks when least expected. There are many twists and turns as the story winds its way toward its startling conclusion.
This is a must-read book. It is definitely recommended.
Review by Nancy Madison,author of Clues to Love, Never Love a Stranger and What the World Needs Now. ([...])

The Hangman's Row Enquiry (Ivy Beasley) ReviewFor years cantankerous spinster Ivy Beasley ruled the English village of Round Ringford with a nurturing iron first. The townsfolk respected her, but did not care about her. When her cousin Deirdre asks her to move near her, Ivy agrees and relocates in the assisted living community Springfields in Barrington.
Still filed with vinegar and energy, Ivy needs something to occupy her time. She thinks she may have found just the thing when she meets Augustus "Gus" Halfhide at church. He has recently moved here and seeks something to excite his time too. They along with Deirdre open up an investigative agency. Their first case they choose as it interests them involves the death of a woman in one of the cottages on Hangman's Row. The cottage belongs to Theodore Russell whose ancestors once owned most of the village, but he became a recluse who used an agent Miss Bailey to conduct his affairs.
Ann Purser provides a delightful spin-off from her Lois Meade mysteries starring former series support player the silver haired crabby Ivy, her cousin, and their new friend. Fans will enjoy the dynamic trio as they investigate the murder of Gus' neighbor with zest and vim as they display energy that a person half their age will admire. With Gus adding enigmatic denouements, Deirdre a bit of fear, and Ivy vinegar of course, fans of the Meade English cozies will want to read this senior citizen murderer investigation.

The Book of Old Houses (Home Repair Is Homicide Mysteries) ReviewThis entry in the long running series finds Jake still in a quandry over the old book she found in the cellar of her Maine 'fixer upper'. And like the old house that never seems to be completed, I did not find that the story line was complete....convuluted, over busy, full of starts and stops, yes. Finished, certainly...Complete, no. I have been a big fan of Jake's stories from the first but this one falls flat. Maybe I still miss Victor! I have never been a fan of Ellie's (too contrived) or Wade's (off to the boat...go catch a murderer....see you later). In my opinion the storyline couldn't decide whether to develop into a straight who-dunit, branch out into a supernatural thriller, or just turn into a morality tale. (Bad guy corrupts weird kid in an quaint setting and they all wear aluminum foil hats forever). And poor Sam. PLEASE find him a purpose in life. I will eagerly await the next book and hope for the best.The Book of Old Houses (Home Repair Is Homicide Mysteries) Overview

The Telltale Turtle (The Pet Psychic Mysteries) ReviewI was thrilled to be asked to read this new work by two of my favorite authors, Joyce and Jim Lavene and I was in for a wonderful treat.
The main character of this charming mystery is Mary Catherine Roberts, a pet psychic. Yes, you read that correct, a middle-aged woman who actually communicates with animals. What a character. She is just about as likeable and colorful as a woman could be. I loved her.
A widow many times over, whose husbands all died in very strange ways, she has now settled in to her aunt's home, which she has turned the downstairs into an animal clinic. She does a daily show on the local radio answering questions for pet owners.
The problems began when her friend Taxi driver, Danny is driving her home one afternoon, and Mary hears an animal in distress and simply must find and rescue it. Unfortunately when they find Tommy, the turtle that was crying out to her, they also find a dead body. To top off the already outrageous situation, the dead woman is non other than the aunt of the radio station manager, Colin Jamison. The chips are about to fly as Mary tries to explain to Detective Angellus how she ended up in an apartment with a dead body. After all, how do you explain hearing a turtle calling for help?
I have to say this was one of the most enjoyable reads I have had the pleasure to review in a very long time. All of the characters that played in the story were extremely interesting, enjoyable and sometimes downright mysterious. And I am including the animals here as well. Everyone of them added just the right amount of sugar and spice to keep the story flowing.
As the story progress Colin's seemed to be the main suspect in the murder of his aunt, but after hearing from Tommy, Mary Catherine wasn't so sure of that fact. She somehow fell headlong into the investigation, unnerving poor Detective Angellus, and got herself into more trouble than she bargained for. As a matter of fact, she even finds a little romance along the way.
The interaction between her and different animals of what they might have possibly seen or head concerning the different happenings surrounding the murder was excellent. It was fresh and vibrant in a mystery read. Bravo.
I absolutely give this work my highest recommendation. I was actually sorry when it was over. I wanted to yell, "More, More!" In my humble opinion if you want a top-notch mystery, with characters both human and animal, that will keep you guessing who done it right to the end, this book is for you. I truly never guessed who the killer was, that is how well the author's hid their true murderous personality. Was it Colin Jamison? This is one superb read. If I could I would most definitely give it a standing ovation. Bravo Jim and Joyce. This truly is a winner.
I loved this book.

The Telltale Turtle (The Pet Psychic Mysteries) Overview
Mary Catherine has a rare gift - she can talk to animals. A flamboyantly dressed four-time widow, Mary Catherine pulls top ratings for her pet psychic radio show and helps run an animal shelter. Then one day Mary Catherine hears pitiful thoughts of anguish coming from a house. Rushing inside to help, she finds an injured turtle crying bloody murder - and the dead body of his owner, a society matriarch with a fortune, lying nearby.
By tuning into Tommy the turtle's thoughts and memories, Mary Catherine becomes a vital, if ridiculed, resource for the detectives. But now a psycho caller is threatening the lives of Mary Catherine and Baylor, her haughty and overprotective tabby cat, while dangling clues in front of her like bait. Despite the annoying charms of PI Charlie Dowd - aka, potential husband number five - can Mary Catherine use her talent to find a killer more cold-blooded than the star witness?

Shrouds of Holly (A Special Pennyfoot Hotel Mystery) ReviewCecily Sinclair Baxter returns in Shrouds of Holly to solve another murder. Her previous Pennyfoot Hotel Mysteries are No Clue at the Inn and Slay Bells.
It's Christmas and Cecily and her employees are decorating the Pennyfoot ballroom for a festive Christmas reception. With a staff shortage (primarily due to illness) Baxter, Cecily's husband, has reluctantly accompanied Samuel, the stable manager, to collect fresh boughs of holly to complete the decorations.
While Mrs. Chubb, the Pennyfoot housekeeper, was out collecting eggs, the sleigh returned with a dead body (Gavin Hargrove) but minus Baxter and Samuel.
Samuel turns up with a head injury and his only memory is of bending over Baxter's body. Is Baxter badly injured or is he dead? The only thing known for sure is that he has disappeared.
With Baxter missing, the stable manager injured and a dead body outside her establishment, Cecily is determined to investigate. It's important to find the murderer but it's more important to find her husband.
The deceased Gavin Hargrove seems to have had some enemies. He owed money to a London syndicate for gambling debts. His fiancée doesn't seem very upset over his death. What's that about? And his brother is dependent on Gavin's goodwill. With Gavin dead, he inherits his father's wealth.
It's going to be a difficult task to find the murderer since the police think they know who killed Gavin but Cecily is not giving up. Her husband's life may depend on it.
Kingsbury's historical Christmas novels are set in England and are delightful cozy mysteries. I love the laid back feel of the books. They are satisfying plots that keep you turning the page.
FYI: Kate Kingsbury is Doreen Robert's pen name.
Armchair Interviews says: For a good Christmas murder, Shrouds of Holly is a winner.Shrouds of Holly (A Special Pennyfoot Hotel Mystery) OverviewWhile decorating the Pennyfoot's ballroom for a Christmas reception, Cecily sends her husband Baxter and stable manager Samuel into the woods to cut some fresh boughs of holly for the ballroom. An hour later their one-horse open carriage returns with the horse, the holly...and the unwelcome gift of a dead body. Baxter and Samuel are nowhere to be found. In what should be a season of celebration with friends and family, Cecily means to reunite hers and solve the mystery-even if a killer leads her in a merry measure.

Crawlspace: A Home Repair Is Homicide Mystery (Home Repair Is Homicide Mysteries) ReviewI am so disappointed in the direction the "Home Repair is Homicide" series has gone. This has always been a quirky and complex series, not what I would really classify as a cozy, but with the last couple of books, I feel like Sarah Graves wants to write a certain kind of stand alone thriller, yet can't let go of Jake and Ellie. And the totally weak and unnecessary subplot involving death threats to Jake- please- what a waste of time! As I mentioned in my review of her last book, "A Face in the Window," I read this series because I love the tidbits about small town Maine life, the adventures Jake has trying to renovate her house, and the relationships between Jake, Ellie and their respective families. In this book, I guess there is a decent storyline, but I feel like tiny bits of the characters are thrown in so she can call it part of the series.
And I have to ask, why do reviewers insist on including detailed plotlines in their reviews?Crawlspace: A Home Repair Is Homicide Mystery (Home Repair Is Homicide Mysteries) Overview
