19 Yellow Moon Road (Sisterhood #33) by Fern Michaels

 

This is another of Fern Michael's great sisterhood books.  I love these!  Right and truth prevail and the villains get their just desserts.  It's a little improbable, but who cares!  It's highly entertaining.    In this one, Maggie's friend Gabby has joined a meditation cult of some sort and leaves Maggie a disturbing voice mail saying she is in trouble.  Maggie asks her friends of the Sisterhood to intervene.  What ensues is another rollicking sprint to track down the bad guys and rescue their victims.  These are so much fun you should read all 33. and any more that come out.

You Can Run (Laurel Snow #1) by Rebecca Zanetti

 

Laurel Snow is an FBI profiler who gets pulled in on a case when she goes home to check on her mother.  Huck Rivers is a local Fish and Wildlife officer who usually stays to himself and does search and rescue, but his unique skills and familiarity with the mountain in question draws him into the case as well.  Family situations for Laurel in the area complicate things and strange happenings that keep occurring make it all the more puzzling.  They know they are after a serial killer but the answers keep eluding them.

This is a very well written thriller and I learned some interesting stuff too reading this book. It kept me up late last night waiting to see who the killer was and how other situations would turn out.  I have a feeling I'm going to have to wait for the next book in the series to get a couple of those answers.

Kids Cook Dinner: 25 Healthy, Budget-Friendly Meals from the Best-Selling Cooking Class Series by Deanna F. Cook (

 

This is a great instruction book for kids.  I love the fact that they go over basic safety and kitchen etiquette first and then tackle food prep..  They offer step by step pictures for each recipe.  There are great recipes for kids in this book!  I highly recommend this to homeschoolers for starting to teach you young kids how to navigate the kitchen and learn to cook.

Ainsley Beaumont is with the Park Service and is an Investigative ranger. She has been sent to her hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, to investigate the murder of a young girl at a campground.

Add in Ainsley's grandmother and her grandmother's elderly sister, and you have all kinds of drama and suspense. This has concurrent suspense threads which makes it more interesting. I like this author! I'm going to look for her two previous books in this series.

Deadly Target (Rocky Mountain Courage #2) by Elizabeth Goddard

 

Erin Larson is a criminal psychologist and cold case blogger, who is suddenly back in Montana to help her mother after an attempted suicide. Nathan Campbell is a police officer in Montana whose father, also a police officer, unexpectedly arrives from his home in Boston and gives Nathan an unexpected mystery to solve. There are a lot of twists and turns to this story and way too many catastrophic events all of which should have been fatal. Not very believable that they survived all three in close succession. I did enjoy the book though. I just think it could have used some tweaks.

Dinner on Primrose Hill by Jodi Thomas

 

I have read other novels by Jodi Thomas and enjoyed revisiting one the the couples from before in this one. This is about two professors at a small college in a small town who work together on a research project relating to what attracts people to other individuals of the opposite sex. There are three couples (including the professors) who are personally exploring this question in addition to the actual survey that goes with the research study. They eventually meet to help solve the mystery of who is planting bombs in various places around town. So this book is like a smorgasbord. You have a whodunit, and three separate romances happening all in one delightful read. I recommend this for some light reading -- but only if you have a large block of time to sit down to read because you won't want to put it down.
