Where do you start when all the contents from a museum go missing? Granted, it's a small museum, but still, everything but the desk where the receptionist sits, and the fern in the corner? Find out in The Vanishing Museum on the Rue Mistral, by M.L. Longworth. It's set in France, folks, so expect wonderful descriptions of food (much like the Bruno mysteries). :-) Good characters, fun read.

"A cozy Mystery (with dragons)" Really, how could I pass this up?! Dragons do exist, and, they are still among us, it's just the most humans cannot see them. They like helping their human friends, and they like baked goods. (No poppy seeds please, they make dragons sneeze, which can start fires). Baking Bad is the first in the Beaufort Scales series by Kim M. Watt. The vicar of a small town has been murdered. A town where the Women's Institute is still very active and insists on helping out (with their dragons), much to the annoyance and frustration of the Detective Inspector Adams. How it is all solved is a delightful, often funny, read. Don't skip the recipes at the end, there are fun bits of dragon lore there!
