A hat shop mystery: At the drop of a hat by Jenn McKinlay . This is the third book in this series. The first is Cloche and Dagger. I've enjoyed this series very much.

The Husband's Secret
Oh man, Liane Moriarty is beginning to be one of my favorite authors! I loved this mystery about a secret one man kept from everyone and of a young girl that who's murderer was never found. This twisted tale was a huge web that wove these characters together until one day the aftermath of this secret almost took more lives. A true definition of a chain reaction!

I read The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson. I enjoyed the Longmire TV series from a few years ago and decided to read the books based on the series. I wasn't disappointed and will continue reading the series - some day...

Decided to go old school and read "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This is definitely one of the best classic mysteries I have ever read. I didn't realize that the stories are told from the POV of Watson - at least this one was anyways. I love the series on BBC with Benedict Cumberbatch, and I am happy to say that though I had seen this episode on TV, there were absolutely no spoilers, as the TV series is completely modernized. I highly recommend!

Three by Ted Dekker was the best mystery/thriller I've ever read so far!

I'm working my way through Christopher Fowler's Bryant & May Series first up this year & the one I'm counting for this category was Bryant and May and the Memory of Blood.

Really enjoying the whole series, Bryant & May have really grown on me as have the whole cast of supporting characters and I love how so much London history/folklore makes it's way into the books.

The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie.

by Amy Stewart

This is not so much a "who done it" as it is a "will they get away with it", but it's engaging and entertaining and gets 3.5 stars from me. I don't read many mysteries and I was surprised to find the dialogue among the three sisters to be the best-executed aspect of the book. I applauded these three proto-feminists from the nineteen teens and their determination to choose the circumstances of their own lives. This is fiction based on real people and, for the most part, real events.

, a chilling book with an amazing and unexpected ending. 5 stars.
