Halloween and Mystery

At Halloween, it's time to talk about mysteries.  If you know me, you know I love to read (or watch ) mysteries.  I've gone from Nancy Drew to Janet Evanovich.  Truth be told, I've been known to still read a Nancy Drew.  It's like visiting an old friend.  It reminds me of one of my childhood friends, Carol.  We both loved Nancy Drew.  We would, on occasion, be desperate enough to read a Hardy Boys book.  But mostly we read Nancy Drew.  Do you still have all those Nancy Drew books, Carol?

My favorite mysteries are now Janet Evanovich.  Janet has even written a Plum Spooky novel to just help you get into the spirit of Halloween.  Her books are a mystery and a comedy all in one!  She truly makes me laugh out loud.  Especially number 10.  But it's best to start with number 1:  One for the Money. 

Her Stephanie Plum series is about, you guessed it, Stephanie, a not so competent bounty hunter.  The range of characters will keep you reading the series.  From the hot cop to the dark and dangerous security consultant.  And let's not forget the crazy for food, always on some new made up diet, gun toting ex-hooker who helps get Stephanie out of or, in a lot of cases, into trouble.  But its Grandma Mazur that will make you laugh the most.  Everything goes with grandma!   Go to the library.  Borrow it from a friend.  Click on the link to the right to order it from Amazon.    Do whatever you have to do to read it.  You'll love it!  I'd loan you mine, but someone has already taken it.

And talk about mystery, some day I'll tell you the story of the time everyone was gone except for myself and my mother and someone was trying to break into the house.  Until then, happy reading!
