    Hi,
    I’d love for you to add my newest release, Too Sweet to Die by T. Doyle. It takes place in Forest Forks West Virginia, which is a fictional town that is very similar to Huntington, WV where I reside.

    Awww “Almost Heaven ~ West Virginia! Love this post. I am a ‘Coal Miner’s daughter 😀 Although I have moved ~ the saying goes you can take the girl out of West Virginia but can never take West Virginia out of the girl!

      I still have several (4 or 5) of Author Carlene Thompson mysteries in my book shelf. Her mysteries were based in West Virginia.

      I’m a coal miner’s daughter, too! Born and raised here, moved to Florida, Wisconsin, and Virginia Beach but came back home! One of my Floridian co-workers once told me he’d “never met someone from WV who didn’t love WV.” <3

    I just want to put a positive review in for Author Katherine Bolger Hyde’s books. I just finished “Death with Dostoevsky”. I also read “Arsenic with Austin”, “Bloodstains with Bronte” and “Cyanide with Christie”….I can’t wait for the “E” title….

    The fun part is that the main character is well-read and loves books & libraries. Ms. Hyde brings little bits about each author in the titles and weaves their style into the story.

    These stories are fun and the who done it can be a head scratcher to the very end. I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys mysteries with a little bit of thought and fun included.
