What I've been reading lately:
Death's Half Acre by Margaret Maron--I really enjoy the Deborah Knott stories. No intellectual value but pleasant reading.
Lie Down With the Devil by Linda Barnes--as usual private detective Carlotta Carlyle manages to get herself into trouble more than once in this book. At least she didn't end up in the hospital. There's always quite a bit of angst in her stories but in this one I noticed a possible change of direction in the story line.
Wailing Wind by Tony Hillerman--I've suddenly become hooked on Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn and Bernie too. This one was sadder than the others I've read -I actually listened to this one on cd.
Damage Control by J.A. Jance--you just can't go wrong with a Jance book whether it's Beau in the big city or Joanna in the desert. Her stories are intriguing and not too simple or too complicated. Just enough to keep me interested.
Have I mentioned the new Vicki Bliss book by Elizabeth Peters. In EP's usual fashion her stories move along at a quick pace and there is always an element of humor. My favorite book by her is Die for Love absolutely too funny! I also loved her books she wrote as Barbara Michaels but she doesn't write those anymore--too sad.
Right now I'm listening to 3rd. Degree by James Patterson one of his Women's Mystery Club series.
Waiting in the wings are Mercedes Coffin by Faye Kellerman, The Blessing Way by Hillerman,
Body in the Gallery by Katherine Hall Page and Ghost at Work by Carolyn Hart (a new series by her) one of my all-time fave authors. I'll let you know how they all turn out.
toodles and thanks for dropping by! Anita

Have you ready any Dana Stabenow's Kate Chugak stories? (Not 100% sure I spelled Kate's name right.) It's a series best read chronologically. Not for the faint of heart - she's a tough Inuit cookie. The author lays out Alaska and its inhabitants as well as Hillerman does the Navajo country.
