I'm working on my second Murder Mutts mystery. Heebs finds himself working for five beautiful sisters, one or more of whom might be a murderer.

Now that A Penny Earned, the first book in my new series, is out in paperback as well as ebook, I'm catching up on some books I've been eager to read, starting with Tides of Acerba.

A PENNY EARNED, the first book in my new series set in Cheyenne, Wyoming, in the 1950s, is set to go on sale at the end of the month. It features Heebs, the homeless paperboy who grew up over the course of the Maggie Sullivan mysteries, as a newly arrived private eye investigating the murder of an Army buddy.

In a city of cowboy hats, he wears a fedora, but he soon proves he's tough as tumbleweeds when necessary.

Who Pays the Piper has twist after twist, and is classic Wentworth -- meaning it's very good. I do prefer the ones with Miss Silver, though.

One of my most constant readers enjoys this series, so I thought I would try it. So far it's fun with its tongue-in-cheek humor.

I've been reading a final draft by a fellow mystery writer. It's always interesting to see how others approach the craft. Now I'm immersed in a particularly good Patricia Wentworth novel. I like to alternate between tough (but not gratuitous) detective fare and cozies or other lighter fare.
