Buried on Avenue B
It's weird when a book takes place in a neighborhood you know incredibly well, but is in a universe you've heard about but don't recognize, populated by alcoholic, bigoted police officers. Buried on Avenue B has a second location, Sarasota, Florida, which is not far from Tampa, where I went to grad school. The people in the Publix grocery stores in Sarasota are depicted as nicer than the ones I encountered in Tampa, but there was one commonality--old men bagging groceries. De Jonge assumes they're doing it for the minimum wage. In my naivete, I want to believe it is for something to do.

Yes, I'm three books in to Pretty Little Liars. I don't even like it anymore, but I'm not sure I can stop.

Murder in the Collective
My favorite elements of this amateur sleuth story are the examples of progressive/feminist/lesbian political collective culture of the time, like everyone automatically saying no to being fingerprinted to help the cops identify a vandal.

Shadows Still Remain
I read this dude-penned book because my dad recommended it and because the next book in the series includes an encounter with Jennifer Miller, a favorite performer of mine and the person who conducted my wedding ceremony.

Spoonful of Murder, a
This first installment in the Soup Lover's Mystery series introduces us to Lucky Jamieson, who has just returned to Vermont in the wake of her parents' death in a car accident. She has just taken charge of their restaurant and is already in danger of losing it, due to her cook being charged with murder and a subsequent falling off of business, and also some money woes that go unresolved, presumably to be revisited later in the series.
