Ginny Reese is a vet who manages to get involved with murder ... she has been described as the result of James Herriot and Jessica Fletcher having a baby (pg 15). This time it starts with a bone her dog finds when her hay storage shed collapses in a wind storm. It's human, buried about 20 years ... the resulting investigation and fallout from that is proof to me why it's best to avoid high school reunions! (Not that I've been to any of mine). A Nose for Death is a Cozy Pet Lovers Mystery by M.K. Dean. And, while full of angst from those sometimes troublesome years in high school, is a cozy in the traditional sense. :-)

A former governor has gone missing ... is it something to be worried about, or typical for this person now that he's retired? Fred (the Great Dane) and Megan join Crystal on her search for her dad in A Tail for Trouble, by Rimmy London. Then missing money is discovered, and, a young boy goes missing. There is a storm brewing as well so time is of the essence. Tuck in a bit of romance and this book has something for just about every reader (who like a good cozy, that is). ;-) It is the third in the Megan Henny Cozy Mystery series. It is set here in the pnw, which is also something I enjoy.
