This is the 3rd in the Agatha Raisin series. She's a retired advertising agent, divorced, somehere in her 50's, in Cotswolds, England.

Very enjoyable so far.

Couldn't get the first 2 books of the series. Not available anywhere.

I think this may be his best one yet. It's a terrific book to start the series with, even tho it's the 16th. Funny as hell when it's not scary.


Book 90

Short, less than 200 pp.. A lot Scottish accent makes these books a bit of a challenge. It's very humorous so far and I'm only on page 7...

About Barry Clayton, a cop who has to leave his job in Charlotte to help take care of the family business in Gainsboro - undertaking - because his dad got Alzheimer's and his mother needs help with him and the business... father fairly young - only 55. Main characters all likable.

Clayton becomes involved with helping the sheriff solve some crimes. I'm almost at the end of the book (around 200 pp). Not bad, will probably catch the next one.

This takes place in North Carolina mountains.

Second in series about Spencer Arrowood, Appalachian sheriff, in the Appalachian Ballad series. Takes place in Tennessee.

I can't remember where I found this author but it was a good find....
