The Plot is Murder is the first in series called "A Mystery Bookshop Mystery" and is by V.M. Burns. It is a mystery story within a mystery story as the main character is trying to write her first book (set in 1938) while dealing with a murder that took place outside her bookstore here in the present. Not a bad debut! Love the grandmother and her band of retired ladies!

I've enjoyed the Aunt Dimity series, by Nancy Atherton, ever since I found the first book so many years ago, and the most recent, Aunt Dimity and the Widow's Curse was no exception. This time the adventure starts at a quilting bee, where the Widow Craven admits to a murder. Of course, Lori and Bree have to investigate! When they get to the nearby town, scene of the supposed murder, TWO versions of past events unfold. Which one is true? A delightful read for a rainy winter afternoon. :-)

Here's a book that was recommended to Canadian Reader but I managed to read it first: The Invisible Library, by Genevieve Cogman. The Librarians here are those who travel to alternate worlds (there are several Londons, for example) to bring back books that cross time. This time it's a copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales. Quite a nice read with interesting twists and some wonderful closing lines to chapters! Canadian Reader will get it next .... (later) ... she enjoyed it and has requested the next in the series. :-)
