I’ve been trying to come up with books to reserve at the library for TW’s mom. She likes romance. She likes mysteries. She seems to like series. She also needs large print. (If you’ve got recommendations, send ’em my way!) One of the series that popped into my head was the “tea shop mystery series set in Charleston”.
So I reserved the one that TW and I had read (and enjoyed) but when I got it home, she said she’d already read it. So, I reserved another… The Silver Needle Murder.
I must have mellowed in my old age because books set in Charleston that aren’t perfectly accurate used to bug me. Now, they don’t. I just plain enjoy every darn Charleston story I read. Homesickness or sick of freezing, icy, snowy, disgusting Chicago. Whatever. I liked this one. Silly chick lit mystery stuff, pure fluff. But hey, we all need fluff – particularly during Chicago winters.
Hmm I wonder if Three Bags Full is in large print. I haven’t started it yet but I’ve heard good things about it. It’s the sheep murder mystery (hmm have you guys read it???? Can’t remember…).
What about P.D. James’s mysteries? Has she read those? I always enjoy them. And also Sharon Kay Penman has a good medieval mystery series going.
