Do you like your mysteries with a bit of historical research thrown into them? Trudy's Diary, the first in Amy Reade's Libraries of the World Mysteries, might just be the answer for you! Check out the interview I had with my fellow Sisters in Crime member as we chat about favorite sleuths, inspirational authors, and how research is the backbone to her novels.

Skull Duggery, another mystery in the "Gideon Oliver" series, is a great read by one of my favorite authors, Aaron Elkins. As the "Skeleton Detective" makes his way to Mexico with his wife, Julie, his plans for rest and relaxation are quickly squashed. But examining these piles of bones might have just placed his own life on the line! Check out my review.

Are you into mysteries with a supernatural twist thrown into them? Author Olivia Blacke's Death at the Door features a young woman who is adjusting to her new life in Boston, and her apartment's ghostly roommate. Together, as they learn to cook and get along as friends, they might just end up solving a crime or two in the process.

Are you interested in what bones can teach us after a person's been dead for ten years? Gideon Oliver in Where There's a Will answers that!

I recently dove back into the world of Gideon Oliver, aka the Skeleton Detective, in the book Dying on the Vine. Check out my review!

If you like traditional mysteries, this next one in my Latest Reads has the red herrings, plot twists and poison; Murder in the One Percent.
