The next in the Posie Parker Mystery series (#8) is Murder on the White Cliffs, by L.B. Hathaway. I found this one a bit more intense, I think, there was a lot going on! So much was so secretive during the war that it's hard to know just exactly what was going happening, who knew what, who you could trust ... all that is beautifully handled here as Posie tries to solve the murder of a housekeeper. Why so much interest in a mere housekeeper? And how do the fashion designers fit in? I love the history I'm learning! :-)

I really do try and make the Markham Sisters books last, but they are short (five in this collection) and fun, and well, I just sort of keep turning pages. In The Somerset Case, someone has been delivering flowers to the waitress at a local cafe. Every day. At first it was flattering, but soon it's overwhelming, and the notes (unsigned) are getting, well, creepy. Valentine's Day is coming and that, the notes promise, is where it will all end.
