If you like mysteries set in Regency England, you will surely enjoy Murder on Black Swan Lane, by Andrea Penrose. It's a time when satirical cartoons are often the most popular thing in the daily newspaper, and A.J. Quill is the best there is. Those 'skewered' wonder how so many details of their lives are discovered. Can't say too much here, but this is a great mystery, lots of fun twists, a great new partnership, and some wonderful period descriptions.

A week at Lakeview Holiday Park should have been fun ... a nice break from school and work, with lots of activities for both kids and adults. It was anything but (of course). Doona (who recently had an unexpected inheritance from her ex) was surprised when her solicitor shows up. There are obnoxious and demanding guests. And (you knew this was coming), a body. Turns out, lots of folks had motive. And let's not overlook all the, er, 'extra-curricular' activities amongst the (supposedly) adult visitors! Aunt Bessie Wonders is part of the Isle of Man Cozy Mystery books by Diana Xarissa.
