Donna Andrews recommends

The Adventure of the Castle Thief (2023)
Art Taylor
"You can count on two things with Art Taylor's stories-not only will they be very, very good, they'll also surprise you. I love the way he plays with the short story form, sometimes in diabolical ways, but never at the expense of giving the reader a damned good read."
thumb
A Streetcar Named Murder (2022)
(New Orleans Mystery, book 1)
T G Herren
"[A] smart, engaging heroine, [and a] fascinating glimpse of life in New Orleans."
thumb
Furbidden Fatality (2021)
(Catskills Pet Rescue Mystery, book 1)
Deborah Blake
"If you like cats, dogs, and entertaining mysteries, you're going to love Furbidden Fatality."
