"While taking the yearly otter count at a marsh near Gunn Landing Harbor, California, zookeeper …
Oh, what fun to find thereʼs another one! These are appealing stories of zookeeping. Probably count as ʼcozyʼ mysteries with a plucky heroine who copes with being on live television with animals.
In 1972, when she was seven, Firoozeh Dumas and her family moved from Iran to …
A gentle memoir. She portrays her family with love and admiration. Reminds us that the immigrant experience varies (her family first lived in US in 1972).
Especially liked reading about extended family (her father and his siblings all live close by even now). Her experiences are so unlike my West Coast, far from relatives, life.
What’s the point in solving murders if we’re all going to die soon, anyway?

Enjoyed this quirky guy and setting - have arranged to read the next two in the series!

A book lover on a quest with a wizard! the descriptions that made me choose this book were: “heroine who is unabashedly bookish, intellectually curious, and has enough self-awareness to admit when sheʼs wrong…she doesnʼt let injustice grind her down” well constructed plot “slyly amusing”

ah, history of New York City (from Bryant Park to Greenwich Village) intriguing to read

Excellently confusing and witty book Canʼt possibly describe the plot
A groundbreaking thriller about a vigilante on a Native American reservation who embarks on a …
So glad my library had a copy on the New Books shelf. This is a thriller written by and about Sicangu Lakota people.
The plot involves a hard-boiled fellow who discovers what really matters. And in a year like this one, Iʼm happy to read about people finding comfort in community and ceremony.
I am thoroughly enjoying this. Mysterious, historical (even David Thompson). And she wrote a moment that shows the true meaning of "East is East and West is West....when two strong men stand face to face" (Kipling, often shortened of its veracity)
Good read about mid century America. (gosh, I liked There, There better)
followed a recommendation and Iʼm glad I did. The description of life in Africa for a young man is fascinating, even idyllic.
A man falls to his death from a cliff face in western Scotland. From a …
Intriguing - and a good escape this fall of 2020.
So glad to see this republished - clear analysis and useful examples.
What a delicious present! Someone assembled all the books in this series (some original paperbacks, several new on-demand reprints, a couple of hardbacks). So I am reading this modern procedural with female lead set in NYC quite comfortably.
