It is fun continuing on with friends and aquantences you have met in other stories. These take place on a very "southern Island. So far the shark, a manatee, a shrimp and a few more odities have aroused the interest of a group of women who meet regularly for lunch.
Surprisingly unexpected things happen and each contains a murderer. The women think they are detectives and that they can "solve murders" better then the local police.
Well, they can ...and do!
Let's get crazy and see what the gator did!

Wait till you find out who has it, that brain.
Quite a different book then Wallander. Not an every day mystery although it contains a questionable death.
There seems to be a back and forth of people to places, who are traveling so much that where you are, is sometimes ...lost.
You gradually notice a definite separation of good and bad, the haves and have nots, and an underlying feeling there is something very wrong with the whole world!
Noticing too, that there is anger growing within toward complacency to a crime!
A silent, "look the other way " toward a happenstance becoming a criminal act .
That "thing" is now running rampant in a major country, One which is so poor and far removed by its location on the earth, that no one seems to care.
The world seems to lack a curiosity. Our murdered man wanted to right this. Get a message to those that would recognize and understand. He lacked the prominence and funding to do so. To make others find out why?
What does this all have to do with Kennedys brain?
It is all about greed and egoism, and fighting back with truth,
versus power and a strong lie.
Don't look down or you will miss the conection!

Yes, definitely, another Great book! (and I certainly hope there will be another soon, ) How does she do it? Veronica , and Stoker are always finding the most unusual circumstances to get involved in! I really enjoy what will happen or be introduced next. Things move quickly and twist and zig to unimaginable conclusions.
The narrator is excellent and I must get these books through Audible, Her voices just belong and no one else can take the place to sound exactly right. Especially after listening from the very beginning.

Oh, and remember "Mary Smith"

What a different kind of story. Found in an old used book store, two books that looked identical were discovered. The book seller is drawn to them and the tale they tell. There is such a need to find out more of the story she goes searching for the authors and people that may know the writers. Who and what she discovers changes the lives of several people.
It is quite a mesmurizing and intriguing read. You will be drawn in needing to know, too!

I was pleasantly surprised reading this story. What a twist happens here. She is really clairvoyant and he is a cop! Oh yes, the twain do meet. They become a pair who combine their activities and qualities and surprisingly do solve the crimes. Not through "magic" but feelings procured through reading objects these people have worn or carried, and his knowledge of his city and police procedures.
There were many different stories in the book that they were able to solve. I didn't want it to end. When it did, I saw another book and couldn't wait to continue.

Truly enjoy this series. The main characters are both creative in their thinking and afraid of nothing. They travel and observe the world around them. Made for each other, neither is willing to 'give up their singularly free lifestyles," to fully trust the other . Being extremely intelligent, each knows best! Fun and open laugh funny. Full of intrigue and mystery.

She is Not even on the job...she is an espionage magnet. She just can't help
what happens! Oh the things she is drawn into, the experiences she has!
This time, She Rides A Camel.

Love these books. I Have read and listened to them several times. Never grow tired and seem to always find a tidbit I missed.

Mrs Pollifax is sent to help a friend, in doing so, she finds an assassin wanted around the globe. Sicily does not sound like a friendly, welcoming place.. Never knowing who to trust is not conducive to enjoyment in my book. So glad the friend was found but the stay held some frightening moments! Mrs Pollifax always seems so calm and unflustard? How does she do this?

Wow, I can't believe it. The Emersons actually made it through a story of grime, crime, 5 murderous attempts and came out no worse for wear. To complete it all, what are electric fish in the rushes...in the Nile? I'm rereading this set for the umpteenth time and never tire.
