        Janelle, just found this old, old reply of yours and reminds me of something that sometimes I wish I hadn’t said! At times I say that some of my favorite authors just don’t write fast enough for me. Then when sometimes these authors do write faster, their books just aren’t as good! Sometimes we just aren’t satisfied are we!!??

    A new Aaron Elkins book? I hadn’t heard about it — but how wonderful!

    Are there many mysteries that aren’t centered on a murder or two? As an aspiring author, I read that some agents would like to see more on murderless mysteries, and I can’t recall ever having read one in adult mysteries!

      Have you read Nancy Atherton’s Aunt Dimity series? It is my favorite mystery series and without a murder in sight.

      Try the Alexander McCall Smith Mma Ramotswe stories. Not a murder in sight!

          I doubt you’ll be sorry when you start reading the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, Cinette. It is a pure delight. (I listen to Lisette Lecat’s audio books, and love them!)

    I have 3 books that month I can’t wait to get – the Emily Brightwell Mrs. Jeffries, and I have the entire run of the Miranda James and Kate Carlisle. Lots of good reading to come.

    Does anyone know if there will be a new Aurora Teagarden mystery by Charlaine Harris?

      Gmom, with Charlaine Harris doing so unbelievably well with her new series, I am guessing we won’t be seeing any more of Aurora or Lily Bard… What a shame for those of us who were fans of hers before the paranormal series…

    I am reading Sweet Revenge, Author Andrea Penrose. Do you know if there are any books from Andrea Penrose?

    Michele, I see that Andrea Penrose wrote Sweet Revenge (the first in the Lady Arianna Regency (historical) Mystery Series, and The Cocoa Conspiracy (2nd in the series) is due out in December 2011.

    I bought the 3 Kate Borden cozy mysteries and that seems to be all she’s written from the New England mayor storyline. I’m not really interested in the Caribbean so her writing under Kate Grilley probably won’t be to my liking. Have you heard if she’s going to do anymore as Kate Borden (Peggy Jean Turner mysteries)? Thanks so much!

      Since it has been six years, I would be surprised to see another Peggy Jean Turner mystery. Here’s hoping!

    I am recommending Flowerbed of State by Dorothy St. James. It is 1st in a new series that was introduced in May, 2011. It is in the genera of the Julie Hyzy White House Chef series but as you can probably guess from the title it features a White House gardener as the main character. It fits perfectly in the Cozy Mystery Series. Check it out.

      Thank you, Jane. Small world >>> Dorothy St. James is actually already on my list of authors to post on the site.

      Thanks, again
