Getting back to a Meg Langslow Mystery by Donna Andrews was great fun! As if having one of those reality channel 'make over' shows in town working on a house in the neighborhood, wasn't enough, somehow a flock of feral turkeys have arrived as well. There are lots of them, they are big, can be mean, and are destroying yards. The house undergoing the remodel has been closed off to everyone for now because the crew did not know what they were doing and load bearing walls have been removed. The manager/boss/head guy is missing. As are the funds to pay anybody. Then the body of the wife of the homeowner (not well liked) is found in the shed. Between a Flock and a Hard Place will keep you guessing and laughing as Meg and the helpful members of her family figure things out.

Keeping to the theme of 'getting back', it was time for a return to the Isle of Man so I plucked Visitors and Victims by Diana Xarissa off my shelf. It is the 22nd in the Isle of Man Ghostly Cozy series. Fenella's nieces, Margaret and Megan, have come for a visit. They are eager to learn more about where their Aunt Fenella has been living the past two years. On their first night out, though, they come across a body. It is someone they had met just that night at a pub. What was he doing in the alley? Can they help figure out the crime? Will they meet Mona?
