Lots and lots of reading...
Too tired to comment on everything...
Susanna Gregory: An Unholy Alliance and A Plague on Both Your Houses. Books 1 and 2 of the Matthew Bartholomew Chronicles; medieval England, etc. etc.; well done & enjoyable.
Carl Hiaasen: Native Tongue and Basket Case. Hiaasen is nuts, brilliant, and hilarious. As always.
Jim Butcher: Storm Front. Book 1 of the Dresden Files (Harry, yes) and darn that billdavis I am now officially hooked. (Love you, honey, really. :P)
Laura Childs: Eggs in Purgatory (new series), Death by Darjeeling, Gunpowder Green, and Shades of Earl Grey. Entertaining mysteries set in Charleston (teashop stuff) which will make you want to drink tea or eat eggs (Cackleberry Club stuff).
Edith Skom: The Mark Twain Murders and The George Eliot Murders. Skom is a professor at Northwestern and hasn't published since '98. Hoping to find out that will change sometime soon, as there is only one more book in her series that I don't have/haven't read and I've enjoyed the first two very much.
