Book Review: Donna Andrews’ No Nest for the Wicket
Croquet is a genteel game; eXtreme croquet is a whole other story. Still, no one was expecting homicide until Meg slides into the body of a dead woman.
Croquet is a genteel game; eXtreme croquet is a whole other story. Still, no one was expecting homicide until Meg slides into the body of a dead woman.
It’s one break-in after another from the ghostly intruder at Black House to the sneak thief at the Salty Dog with Ellery Page reluctantly pulled in to both crimes.
Feral turkeys and an out-of-control makeover show create havoc on Bland Street while Meg Langslow and the mayor try to round everyone up.
It’s a reunion of old friends getting trapped in Ellery Page’s creaky mansion that sets off a deadly set of memories that leads to an even more deadly game of Clue.
They say breaking up is hard to do. They’re wrong. Living with the consequences is so much harder, especially when sorrow is a powerful draw to evil in Lizzie’s grief-filled life.
When Lily Bard discovers a murder victim, she’s plunged deeper into the lives of her fellows than she could ever suspect.
Even in a sleepy Arkansas town, the holidays can be murder even with a wedding in the offing. It’s an eight-year-old kidnapping Jack Leeds is investigating, and the trail leads straight to Lily’s hometown. It just might have something to do with the murders . . . and her sister’s widowed fiancé.
Mysterious gifts turn deadly, and in a town where dead bodies pile up faster than competitive pecan pies at the county fair, Tess is scared the next “gift” might be her!
When her sister-in-law is late for her own induction, Aurora Teagarden, a mild-mannered librarian, stops by only to find Poppy dead on the floor. Complicating Roe’s life, in a good way, is Robin’s re-entry into her life and a surprise visit from a runaway.
All Tess wanted to do was play softball. Why do dead bodies have to keep showing up? And what’s up with that vampire in the outfield?
