Here's the second book in Jackie Elliott's Coffin Cove Mystery series: Hell's Half Acre. Andi is recovering from being shot, her boss has told her to take it easy (as if that is going to happen). There is a new mayor in town, one who wants to make big changes, but while on a field trip to look over some property (with a past) a body is found. Could it be the former mayor's son, who disappeared a while back? And why didn't the police do more to look for him? And what about two more bodies later found in an old chapel? This series is set in a small town on Vancouver Island so the descriptions of weather and the area are very familiar (and very well done).

I have to admit, I am thoroughly enjoy the Miss Fortune Mystery series by Jana Deleon, and Hook, Line and Blinker was no exception, it was a one day read! Some one has hurt a friend of Swamp Team 3, and stolen several black SUV's he was working on. Ida Belle recently bought one ... is she in danger? (you know the answer) What do they want with these vehicles? Join along as the team partners with other citizens (some not so law abiding) of Sinful to find out. Another great romp! Laugh out loud moments. Oh, and the result of the recount of the election that put the awful Celia in charge.
