The Mystery of Mary Rogers

Author / Illustrator: Rick Geary

Another from the Treasury of Victorian Murders. These are always interesting, even when the murder is unsolved.

Help the Poor Struggler

Author: Martha Grimes

Richard Jury mystery with Chief Superintendent Macalvie.

Murdered children, great characters. She writes odd children quite well. This may have been a reread, but my Martha Grimes phase was many years back.

Perfect bath with a head cold kind of book.

Busy Body

Author: M.C. Beaton

An Agatha Raisin mystery.

Love Agatha Raisin, even though I imagine I couldn't stand her in real life.
This takes place in a neighbouring village, Odley Cruesis. The first victim is a safety inspector who has shut out all the joy for many villages at Christmas. Second victim, the american at the Manor House.
Great cast of characters as always.

Decked with Folly

Author: Kate Kingsbury

A british cozy, set in the Pennyfoot Hotel in Badger's End. Wouldn't you love to be somewhere named Badger's End? Servants and upper class, annoying hotel guests and murder, all post-Victoria pre-war. Satisfying read. Will keep an eye out for more in this series.
