After reading Death of a Trophy Wife, I read another book in the same series, called Death by Pantyhose. I absolutely loved re reading that book, and the latter's siblings will get the same treatment, if I may say so. Re-reading Death by Pantyhose, which is a non foodie cozy mystery (the series is called the Jaine Austen mystery series), I picked up little things that escaped my attentions. Things that pointed to the murderer. These indications were subtly written into the book. Like I said, I'm going to re-read my favorite series, however it will be in disorder.
For now I'm reading a smart cozy called Deadly Pumpkin Slice, by Carol Lee. It's a quaint little story. Very much in the tradition of foodie family oriented cozy mysteries, the's a lot of talk about this and that. I'm curious about when will the amateur investigation begin. It's a short story with only 7 chapters, but over 100 pages. I've never read a cozy in this format.
After that it's back to my beloved Jaine Austen, with Shoes to Die For waiting in the wings. That's it for now.
