October gave a party
The leaves by hundreds came
The ashes, oaks and maples
And those of every name. by George Cooper
Then, there is that SCARY day called Halloween! You all know me by now so what kind of books would “Pam’s Pick” for that spooky, scary week but MYSTERIES! My first pick is not really a mystery per say, some would say better than, full of suspense, intrigue, swash-buckling action, some romance and that Hero’s name is “REACHER” the author, Lee Child, the title, “The Affair.” Everything starts somewhere. For Jack Reacher it was Carter Crossing, Mississippi. That’s all I am going to say, because that’s my Big Bang for mystery week.
New Fiction: “Cat in a Vegas Gold Vendetta” by Carole Douglas, this is a Midnight Louie mystery. It’s murder and mayhem on all fronts for Temple and Louie and the ones they love.
“Spider Web” by Earlene Fowler, this is a Benni Harper mystery. Folk art museum curator and sometimes sleuth Benni is organizing a Memory Festival. A sniper threatens to make it a day to remember in the worst way.
“Bones of a Feather” by Carolyn Haines, this is a Sarah Delaney mystery. PI Sarah and her best friend, Tinkie, take on a new client. A four million dollar necklace, a family heirloom, has been stolen. In order to get the insurance the client needs a PI to investigate.
“English Tea Murder” by Leslie Meier, this is a Lucy Stone mystery. Lucy is on her way to jolly old England. But murder seems to follow her when the tour leader dies after a mid-flight asthma attack. Or was it an asthma attack?
