I'm listening to Bookplate Special, the second Lorna Barrett "Booktown" mystery, on audio at present. I had mixed feelings about the first one, and so far that continues. Wendy-the-Sheriff has to be (one of) the most horrible law enforcement characters I've run across - including Melvin Yoder in Tamar Myers' "Pennsylvania Dutch" series!
I've all-but-given-up-on Mary Daheim's "Bed & Breakfast" series, which I used to like a lot; they're set in my neighborhood!
Some other series that still hold my interest:
Alice Kimberly's "Haunted Bookshop" (R. I. shop owner and ghost of P.I. with romantic angle)
Emilie Richards' "Ministry is Murder" (wife of Unitarian minister in Ohio as sleuth)
Blaize Clement's "Pet Sitter" (former cop, now pet sitter, near Sarasota, Florida)
Aimee Thurlo's "Sister Agatha" (nun in New Mexico convent)
