Happy July 4th to everyone! Time to take a break from mysteries and watch one of my all-time favorite movies: 1776. It is also the only Broadway show I’ve ever seen, but that’s another story. Hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday–stay away from those fireworks!
I have been catching up on my reading, [...]

Hello from Hilton Head Island, where John, Toni and I are vacationing while one of our customers (thank you, Diane) is running the bookstore. (Thanks to Harold, too, who did the Saturday shift first!) We are staying in a condo which is described as “on the beach”, but that’s stretching it a bit. If you [...]

Even though it has been several years it still seems somewhat strange to not have attended Malice Domestic at the beginning of May. For 20 years, the last weekend in April or the first weekend in May meant going to Malice. I attended the first one with a friend, and the second with Toni, before [...]

Never agree to do a blog “part of the time” with someone who is teaching full time, and someone who is running a bookstore and also doing tax work part time. Somehow, neither of them (you know who you are, Toni and John) seem to have time to blog. As a semi-retired person, I should [...]

Spring has finally arrived! Or at least Northern Ohio’s version of it; which so far is almost more summer than spring. But if it has put you in the mood for gardening, there are lots of mysteries that have garden motifs. Foul Play will be hosting an author signing for one of the authors, Rosemary [...]

Last week I watched the PBS production of The Thirty-Nine Steps. Now, usually, I like PBS productions because I think they tend to be truer to the originals than most. However, this was not true of this one. I kept thinking throughout the show that this wasn’t what I remembered of the book, but it [...]

The past two weeks have seen me in front of my TV. for way too many hours. Who knew I’d get hooked on curling? Anyway, watching the Olympics has stirred an interest in mysteries involving sports. I don’t know of any mystery taking place at an Olympic site, either during the games or around the [...]

In honor of President’s Day, Toni suggested I talk about mysteries involving presidents. Elliot Roosevelt wrote many books with his mother and father as main characters; Eleanor even more than Franklin in her own series. Franklin’s were more focused on his “man” John Lowell Endicott, known as Blackjack. Franklin and Endicott went to Harvard together, [...]

I really have a tough time coming up with ideas about which to blog, as I have said before. I kept trying to think of something all weekend, and nothing came to me. So I gave up and read. (Always a choice for me.) Since I have one six shelf bookcase and two three shelf [...]
