A Very Lively Murder, is the second in the Three Dahlias Mystery series by Katy Watson. Two of the three actors who have played Dahlia Lively over the years are in the most recent film (one as the aunt now that she is 'old'). They've asked the third one to join them more for company, at first, and then because there have been threatening notes and 'accidents' on the set, including a prop weapon replaced with the real thing. Now it's just scary. Then there is a storm, and a flood, all elements for a good read.

Pumpkins, Paws & Murder is the second Dickens & Christie Mystery by Kathy Manos Penn. The annual autumn celebration is usually fun, it has been in the past, but this year someone ends up dead, and it is the ex-husband of a local resident. She becomes the prime suspect, of course, and it is up to Leta and her (talking) pets to figure things out. They are most helpful, but since she is the only one who can understand them, she has to figure out how to explain what they discover. A fun series!
