A Murder at Brighton is the eighth book in the Kitty Worthington Mystery series by Magda Alexander. The family is on vacation at the beach and everyone is hoping for a relaxing time, especially Kitty and Robert who are just weeks away from getting married. This is not to be when the body of a rather unpopular woman is found in a changing room. The locals are glad to have a Scotland Yard officer on hand! Most of Kitty's 'team' is along and they all swing into action to help solve this, and quickly (hopefully). Lots of dark secrets surface along with a huge storm that sends many guests fleeing for the train, and plunges the station and hotel into darkness. This is a most enjoyable series!

Beware of little old ladies on a train. What should have been (finally) a quiet stop in Dundee turned out to be anything but when Albert and Rex offer to help out someone who said she witnessed a murder. Dundee Cake Deception is the eighth book in Steve Higgs Albert Smith's Culinary Capers series and what a wild romp it was! It was easy, maybe too easy, for the police to dismiss the claim of such, well, an old witness ... they shouldn’t have done that. Everything is not as it seems.
