While Murder at the Polo Club is another of the nice mysteries by Dianne Harman, it's not part of the Northwest Cozies, it's from her High Desert Cozy Mystery series. I picked it up because I once played polo! There wasn't much polo here (to be fair, the season hasn't started yet), but as with Harman's other books, a nice mystery, lots of possible murderers, and a bit on appraising antiques.

I read the first Veronica Speedwell mystery, by Deanna Raybourn, back in 2016. A Perilous Undertaking comes next and what a read it was! A man has been falsely accused of murder, and will hang soon. He has an alibi, why won't he speak up? It's up to Stoker and Speedwell to find the answer. A wild romp involving artists, unconventional women, and a, er, .... grotto of pleasure! If I'd started earlier, this would have been a one day read. I will not wait as long to read the third book.

I did not wait as long for the next in the Herringford & Watts Mystery. The White Feather Murders, by Rachel McMillan, is just as compelling as the books that came earlier. World War I is brewing and 'foreigners' are looked at with suspicion. Bodies are being found, and with each one a white feather (a sign of cowardice). There's a baby now, too, which leads to conflicts between work and motherhood. This is a great series and I'm sorry some of the books are only available as ereaders as I'm just not interested as yet, but for those of you who are, don't miss them!
