mystery

Five stars:

A Troubling Tail by Laurie Cass and Erin Bennett (Narrator) (2023) is the eleventh book in the Bookmobile Cat mystery series. The local candy shop owner has been murdered and no one can understand why. As far as anyone knew he didn't have an enemy in the world. While Minnie wants to investigate she's also busy juggling her duties with the book mobile, her upcoming wedding, and a book bike that has been built and donated by the board president.

It's been so long since I've had an eligible title from https://www.deanstreetpress.co.uk/ for #MurderEveryMonday I had to really fish for it. BUT, I've visited trout farms, so this one counts. Plus a Kiwi cliché from my theatrical compatriot #Mystery #Bookstodon

3/5 for "Murder Isn't Cricket" by the Radfords. Sadly book 1 of my 2025 #DeanStreetDecember did not bowl me over. One down nine to go. This is now the fourth year for this fun SUMMER tradition 😁

Five stars:

At Death's Dough by Mindy Quigley (2025) is the fifth book in the Deep Dish mystery series. It's the first one not to have an audiobook version and I'll admit to missing Holly Adams's performance.

It's February in Geneva Bay. The snow is thick. The lake is frozen. Delilah O’Leary finds a body while ice fishing. That discovery leads to a story of hidden loot lost during the Prohibition years.

3.75/5 for "Let Him Lie" by Ianthe Jerrold, my penultimate read for #DeanStreetDecember 2025. A beautifully written Clayton's detective story.

After a disappointing start, Book 2 of my #DeanStreetDecember , "The Trail of The Three Lean Men" was a lot of fun. Two down, eight to go

Really pleased my wife didn't know this rule 32 years ago, and that she didn't decide to wait for when I grow up - whenever that might be. #AmReading #bookstodon #Mystery @bookstodon

After #DeanStreetDecember 2025, an update on the state of my https://www.deanstreetpress.co.uk/ library. It's in 3 tags: dsp-read, dsptbr, and dsp-dnf. On the left, dsp-read. On the right, dsptbr (atm) I did not screenshot dsp-dnf, because there are only five. 😁

I've finished: Drunk on All Your Strange New Words by Eddie Robson

First of all, this is a wonderful mystery, lead by an amateur detective. Her flaws and awkward pursuit of the truth are what kept me glued to this novel.

While this is a novel about an alien embassy to earth, it is more a study of human culture than alien culture.

A climate change destabilized humanity deals badly with the soft power of an alien embassy's cultural attache.

Robson contrasts the aliens that are disinterested in digital media and humanity that is consumed by it. The telepathic aliens that find it hard to lie and obfuscate and the humans that can't stop.

To self-publish or not to self-publish, that is the question. At my age, do I have the time to go through the whole process of finding an agent, sending queries, etc?
