It was back to the Isle of Man for the next Aunt Bessie Cold Case Mystery, The Keller File, by Diana Xarissa. This time the case concerns a missing mother and child from some years back. Clues were sparse then, can anything more be learned from the locals who knew them? Andrew is considering buying a home there, so naturally, Bessie goes along to see what's available. One of the houses belongs to someone Bessie knows, but when she tries to call her, she learns the number is no longer in use. Not only that, her friend cannot be found, by anyone who knows her. Now there are two missing person cases! Another good read in an excellent cozy series.

From Canadian Reader came the recommendation for The Library of the Unwritten, by A.J. Hackwith. It seems that unwritten books, those unfinished by the author, have a special location: Hell. Or rather the a library just for those books. In Hell. Sometimes, the characters get restless, waiting for something to happen, and should they escape, well, it's up to the librarian to retrieve them. Clever, imaginative, and much different from my usual cozy mysteries, for sure! From Hell, to earth, and other worlds, this was a decent read. I did not like it as much as Canadian Reader did, but I will also say that I did finish it. It looks to be the first in the Hell's Library series. Canadian Reader will be reading the next one very soon.
