Do you like history?  Want to know about the breakup of RUSSIAN Mobility? The fifth book of the Kelly Jansen series will help enlighten you. Kelly is preparing to welcome the Russian Heritance Week to the Red Cove area. Rudy and Ivan Dobliksky, members of Silver Sentinels and have of Russian background. The book covers their backstory and the Russian mob. There is a good description of the Russian Cossacks maneuvers.
Kelly learned about the bloody dagger ground the Dobliksky's fishing boat. A couple of days later a dead body and a good coin are found on the boat. There is a major turn in the direction of the tale that will have you wondering until the book is done. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND SERIES.

PAW AND ORDER BY Dianne Kelly

BE KIND

Paw and Order (K9, #2)

This a new author for me. At first I had a problem getting into the book until I understood the format. I decided I like it. Megan told her story as her main thoughts were on romance and investigating the robberies. Brigit thoughts concern eating, scents and teaching Megan to do her bidding. I was laughing or smiling during her comments. I especially enjoy when Brigit manage to pay back her original owner. Robin Hood’s thoughts on their plans for the robberies were good.

Megan and Brigit are assigned to patrol the Stock Show for PR purposes. Megan meets a sheriff deputy on horseback that she flirts with. Robin Hood and her sisters grag a purse in the women’s bathroom. Megan and Brigit have few minor arrests. Brigit smells her previous owner and that scene is great. This is a cozy mystery with with out a MURDER. I will read this author again.

# FOUR Authors I Enjoyed And WILL Read Again.

Posted on June 8, 2021 by bettylouise31

PEACE BE KIND

I have been reading some of my favorite authors. This is the list not necessary in chronological order. It is just as I thought of them.

ELIZABETH PETERS/ BARBARA MICHAELS

Barbara Michael wrote paranormal and Victorian novels, later she wrote the Amelia Peabody plus two other series and some standalone mysteries under the name of Elizabeth Peters. I think I have read all of her books.

A: A paranormal and I have read many times and would read again. 

B:The first time I read it, I laugh and laugh. It is satire on romance.

C: A very good paranormal is the first book in a trilogy.

D: I felt this book dealing with Egypt during World War 1 D. Peters became a very good author. 

A                                                                            B

C                                                                        D

I have read this book many times. I especially like the ending. It is the fourth book in the Jacqueline Kirby series.

REX STOUT

I love to read this author even through he started writing before I was born. He created Nero Wolf with Archie Goodwin as a sidekick. Inspector Cramer. Wolf had orchids and gourmet food. One of favorite all time book is the Doorbell Rang where Wolf takes on J. E Hoover and won.

ELLERY QUEEN

About the same time this also was writing and I enjoyed them.

HELEN MacINNES

She is noted for a spy stories which I enjoyed. H. MacHines write in the 1950s. One of my favorite book is about the Cold War.
