Nancy Pickard, The Truth Hurts, A
#3 Marie Lightfoot, this time she is targeted by a psycho and must investigate the truth about her parents and their past

Linda Fairstein, Death Dance, B
Latest Alex Cooper, this one was OK, but way too many plot lines veering all over the place.

Carol O'Connell, Stone Angel, A
Wow. Mallory goes to Louisiana to investigate her mother's murder and her own childhood.

Nancy Pickard, Generous Death, A
First in the Jenny Cain series. Funny, well-written and not as dated as I worried it would be. I don't know why I never got around to these. Set in a fictional town in Massachusetts, Cain is the director of a civic foundation.

Nancy Pickard, Say No to Murder, A
Second Jenny Cain, also quite funny.

Nancy Pickard, No Body, A
Jenny solves two cases, one present day and one historical, involving graves/funeral homes.

Martha Grimes, The Old Wine Shades, B
Recent Jury/Plant. Slow to start, with an annoying finish. The twist in the plot was so effective, though - I never saw it coming and it was just great.

Nancy Pickard, Marriage is Murder, A
Jenny gets pulled into a series of cases involving domestic violence. An interesting mix of humorous characters and serious subjects.

Nancy Pickard, Dead Crazy, A
This one has Jenny solving cases while trying to help the plight of the mentally ill.

Nancy Pickard, Bum Steer, A-
Jenny goes to Kansas when the foundation is left a ranch by a man no one knows.
