It's December, 1924, in London ... and the Christmas lights .... electric lights are about to be turned on for the very first time. All that is known is that it will be done by someone famous ... but who? Movie Star? Royalty? Whoever that person is, he/she needs help (there have been threatening letters) and has asked Posie Parker to help. Can she protect him or her? Murder in the London Lights is a novella from the Posie Parker Mystery series by L.B. Hathaway.

Sara Rosett admits to loving (and being influenced by) Agatha Christie, and Elizabeth Peters (author of the Amelia Peabody books) and that is evident in the third book of her High Society Lady Detective series: The Egyptian Antiquities Murder. Olive Belgrave has been hired to prove that Lady Agnes' uncle did not kill himself, even though the evidence points that way. (There's rumors of a curse, too, as the house is full of Ancient Egyptian artifacts). Can she figure it out before there is another murder? And is the curse real? Just a fun series!

As the cover announces ..... " She's Baaaaaaack!" Mrs. Entwhistle takes her dog, Roger to the vet, only to learn the good doctor has not yet arrived at work. Then the owner of the local coffee shop is AWOL. And finally, her best friend is not home, and the cat is unfed. There have been 'goings on' out at an old, abandoned farm, could there be a connection? And is the red stone she finds in her late husband's work shop glass, or real? There are four stories in Many Happy Returns, Mrs. Entwhistle, by Doris Reidy, some are rather scary! (And yes, one involves her birthday). Never underestimate the power of friendships! And, if you are a 'bad guy' watch out for the LOLO (Little Old Lady Offensive)!
