August reading

August went by in a blur. A busy month, plus I was knitting a lot and reading less. Some good ones, though, and lots of good new releases on the horizon for fall.

Jill Paton Walsh, Debts of Dishonor, A
After a long hiatus, Imogen Quy returns. Plot involves shady financial dealings that affect the college and the possible murder of an alumni.

Susan Wittig Albert, Bleeding Hearts, A
Latest China Bayles. China gets involved in a case involving the local football coach. Good character development as always.

Maggie Sefton, A Deadly Yarn, A
#3 Kelly Flynn. When a friend dies unexpectedly, Kelly and her friends can't believe it was suicide and uncover the truth.

PJ Tracy, Snow Blind, A
Latest in the Monkeewrench/Magozzi/et al series. Another excellent page-turner. What a diabolical way to hide a body!

Laurie R King, The Art of Detection, A-
Finally, Kate Martinelli returns! I'm not the biggest Sherlock Holmes fan, so the "lost" story inserted in the middle was not of great interest, but the plot was good overall.

Rett MacPherson, Dead Man Running, B
Recent Torie O'Shea. Not the strongest of the series. The characters were more annoying than charming this time out, and the plot twists were a bit strained.
