Ann Roth is fired from her job as a Hollywood journalist, goes back home to Missouri, becomes a hospital volunteer, runs across the actor who caused her to get fired, blah blah. No, I enjoyed this romantic sorta comedy, like all the rest the books I've read by this author.

Elizabeth, a high-class hotel inspector, decides her husband needs improvement. Complications arise!

I read this book because I see his stuff on various great books lists. I did not care for it. I probably will not read any more of his stories, unless they are VERY short. Anyway, this one is about some war, a newborn baby dies, the mother dies, it is a metaphor for war or something, oh crud, I gave it all away!

Jessie Arnold has a sudden visit by a friend from ten years ago, the neighborhood bar burns down, what's next? Another good one from this author.

Missed this 2002 book from the Jessie Arnold series. She is building a new cabin in place of the one burned by arson and a skeleton is discovered after the foundation hole is dug. It turns out to be related to an old serial killer series, and a new one. Jessie seems to have broken up with Alex Jensen.

A Maxine but not Stretch mystery. Maxie goes to Hawaii, without her dog, to help a friend Karen move. Stuff happens, nobody dies, we get a tour of Hawaii, and are told THREE times that Maxie keeps a shotgun in a secret compartment in her motor home. And her dead husband #2 keeps talking to her. But a pleasant little story, none the less. And there's a map.

Penny's mother starts a cupcake store in the small town of Hog's Hollow. Penny works there, decorating the cupcakes. She makes a few friends at middle school, but she makes a few enemies, too. I enjoyed the story very much, but the characters seem very mature for ninth graders.
