Veiled Threats by Deborah Donnelly is the beginning volume in a new mystery series.  The sleuth in this case is a bridal consultant so you know by her job description there is always room for mayhem and murder.  When you combine that with froth and old lace, even my sister, the Gracious Jane Marie may become a fan.   Nancy

Mini Book Review List 

 

Dare to go Bear

 

You just never know who's going to turn up as a sleuth these days.  In Laura Crum's series that begins with Cutter, Crum puts a California horse vet through her paces.  If you like the concept, you'll enjoy the series.   Nancy

 

Cecelia Holland has been writing historical novels for a long time.  While I don't love all her books, I am a fan of The Soul Thief and its sequel, The Witches' Kitchen.  Good Viking novels are hard to find.  Nancy

 

 

 

Though the CDO and I were addicted to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff, Angel, I never imagined I would pick up a book called What Would Buffy Do? and find entertainment and enlightenment of a sort - especially since the subtitle is "The Vampire Slayer as Spirtitual Guide."  I mean, c'mon.

 

But here we are, still missing the ole Buffster and learning at her feet.   Go figure.  Nancy
