The Hound of the Baskervilles
by Arthur Conan Doyle
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This was an excellent mystery and one with an unusual wetting; a moor in England. Combine that with a hound that glows in the dark and you’ve got yourself an interesting start. The mystery progresses at a good pace with good characters. If you like traditional mysteries, I highly recommend this one.

It's amazing to me how someone went from the top comedian to off the air a decade later. Overall, well written.

Whose Body in the Library

book cover


I enjoyed this Mystery. This is the first book I have read from this author. It takes place in the Outer Banks and surrounding regions and the library is in a lighthouse. A body is discovered on the steps of the library and has a direct relation with the newly employed Assistant Director who is the Main character in the story. This relation has been estranged from our main character Nichelle for 38 years since she was 16. I like the fast paced, to the point writing and I also wanted to know the answers which encouraged me to keep reading.

In the Time of Five Pumpkins
by Alexander McCall Smith

book cover


This is a most enjoyable book as are all of Smith’s Botswana takes. This book has a couple of interesting story lines, including 2 where things are quite different from what they seem to be initially and one that puts Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s life in jeopardy. There is also a very touching couple of scenes from the Orphan Farm.
