Hey, mystery fans....looking for something good to read?

At the February Just Desserts meeting, after discussing our monthly “assigned” book, we did a round robin at the table, asking attendees to share what mysteries they’d been reading lately that they felt they could recommend. Here’s a list of what genre books were hot right now with this mystery-savvy crowd:

·         Aunt Dimity Down Under  and others in the Aunt Dimity series by Nancy Atherton

·         Whisper in the Blood and other early volumes in the Kate Shugak series * by Dana Stabenow

·         Talking Detective Fiction by P.D. James

·         And finally…one of our members said he’d read a review in the new issue of Cat Fancy magazine of Shades of Grey, the latest in the Dulcie Schwartz cat-themed mystery series by Clea Simon (not currently in the libraries' collection)

So…what mysteries have you been reading lately that you'd recommend?
