When I learned that there will be a new Miss Fortune Mystery in the new year I decided to read the one that's been sitting on my shelf for a while: Marsh Madness, by Jana Deleon. There is a reunion coming up, a 10 year (from high school) reunion and one group, who were friends back then (or where they?) decides to meet up early at a local B&B for a 'pre-reunion' gathering. When one of them turns up dead, evidence points to one of the owners of that B&B and an accidental poisoning. This is something that could ruin the business and he and his wife would lose the house they love. He asks Fortune to look into it since the local policeman (it's a small town, there's just the one) is a total idiot (he really is). Follow along as Fortune, Ida Belle, and of course, Gertie work on solving what actually happened. Another great entry in this series!

Canadian Reader was here over the holidays, and brought the last of the Isle of Man Ghostly Cozy books by Diana Xarissa so I felt I could read Weddings and Witnesses knowing that I had them on my shelf. :-) Plans are going well as the wedding day for Shelly Quirk draws closer. Her Aunt has arrived (a most interesting new character) and the wedding party has moved to the Seaview Hotel for the last few days. The hotel is transitionally closed during the colder months, but opened for this wedding. Prior to that closing was a group of women celebrating a divorce. As far as any one knows, they'd all checked out, and yet, a body was found in one of the rooms, with evidence that she had been living in that room for some time. How did she get in? Who knew she was there? And why was she murdered then, and not some time earlier? Can this be solved before the wedding?
