Okay, figured it out. I read Tracking Magic, by Maria E. Schneider, and it turned out to be a good choice for a busy day that consisted mostly of "hurry up and wait" chores. A short collection of stories about a (human) PI who operates in a world of magic and supernatural beings. The stories are well-written and while magic figures into the mysteries the solutions rely on real-world logic and insight. There was some humor, but also poignancy and loss -- not unexpected in stories about mysteries and ghosts.
And now I'm on to the fourth and fifth installments in Victoria Houston's Loon Lake Mysteries series. I had a couple of discounts at Amazon from picking the "slower" shipping option on some purchases. And, with any luck, I'll have time to devote to reading "real" (but short) novels.
