I seem to be on a Stuart McClean path at the moment, having read several of his books of late. This one, Home From the Vinyl Cafe is more of the tales about Dave and Morley and their family and friends. Some were never aired, or at least are not on any of the CDS I have. That's always fun! Something new! (to me, anyway). It helps if you know the characters, I think. This has some of my favorite stories ... the one where they are ice skating in Holland, a bird that was blown off course and spent the winter in their yard, an unusual homeless man, a family vacation ... all done with the gentle humor and wonderful observations on the part of the author.

Here was a title I found hard to resist (and obviously didn't): Sassy Senior Sleuths, by P.C. James and Kathryn Mykel. It is a collection of six cozy mystery short stories. Follow along as the 'ladies of a certain age' travel and solve mysteries. I figured some out, others, well, I didn't! ;-) The stories included are: Over the Falls Without a Barrel; Deadly Dunces; The Man in Seat 13B; California Adventure; Destined for Sandestin; and a Christmas Caber. See if you can pick up on the clues!
