As with prior Miss Fortune Mystery books, Swamp Shoot, by Jana Deleon was an excellent read. It was fun catching up with the characters again, and following along on their most recent adventure. This time there is an episode of a Reality Show being shot in Sinful. (You know that cannot go well)! Production comes to a halt when the lead actor is killed, in a local business and after hours, and a local goes missing. There is a short period of time before Hollywood reporters will show up (the pushy kind, the 'in your face' kind) for Swamp Team 3 to figure things out. The investigation is all the harder because the folks they need to interview are professional liars, how will they learn what really happened? Warning: hard to put down! It is book 31 in the series.

The title here caught my eye: A Husband is Hushed Up, as did the subtitle: a Victorian Whodunnit with a Hint of Humour. Hard to resist, yes? It is part of the Duchess of Stortford Mystery series by Helen Golden. There is a novella that actually introduces the characters but it is only in the ereader format so I am starting here. Set in 1891, at a birthday celebration that takes a turn for the worse when the Duke of Stortford is found dead at the bottom of the stairs. The police think it's a accident, the wife does not. She is helped in her investigation by loyal staff and a long time friend. There is a limited time frame, too, as soon the guests will be leaving ... guests with secrets, bad manners, hidden pasts ... not a bad start! Pay attention to the chapter titles.
