Posie Parker gives up on any hope of a quiet holiday when she is told there has been a sighting of someone who was supposed to be dead. What memories of the war will this bring back? And will it affect the widow who has been collecting death benefits? The Vanishing of Dr. Winter is the fourth Posie Parker Mystery, by L.B. Hathaway. Sad in many places, but this has been an excellent series, and this book is no exception. War changes so many things and I love how that is explored here.

Getting a driver's license when you've relocated shouldn't be too hard, right? Unless it means driving on the 'other' side of the road. Fenella Wood is feeling a bit overwhelmed by the new rules of the road, lots of roundabouts, parallel parking the 'wrong' way ... not to mention keeping left. Her new friend (and also new to the island) CID Inspector Daniel Robinson asks for her help with some cold cases he'd like to solve ... hence the title to the third Isle of Man Ghostly Cozy book, Cars and Cold Cases, by Diana Xarissa. The cold cases dig up some interesting stories from the past, and affects her new friends in unexpected ways. As before, ghostly Aunt Mona is along to help. ;-)
