Books I've Read

Second (and probably last) volume of the space cats series, which apparently relates to the cats in "The Tower And The Hive" series.

Co-authored by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough. This book is about cats in space. It is OK, funny at times, perhaps even "slyly" funny. I will read the next book. But after that, I am not making any promises.

Another in the series of the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency stories, the second one I've read now. A very nice story, with interesting insights into life in Botswana.

I think that I am starting to get into this series, now that I've read maybe three!

A lady in Botswana start a detective agency to help people with their problems. Very nice.

A young boy in Alabama gets involved in a murder back in the early sixties. Very excellent.

A jobless Vietnam vet kills a banker sorta accidently, ends up helping a girl search for the Bright Girl, and avoiding a bounty hunter with three arms. Very excellent.

A man and his son travel the road to the sea in this tale of survival years after some unnamed disaster kills pretty much everything but a few semi-human survivors. The author seems to have a "thing" about using apostrophes consistently. Some lovely writing, but I didn't really care for the book.

A boy in China in the time of Kubla Khan finds a skill in flying on kites.

Contains the stories "Bimbos Of The Death Sun" and "Zombies Of The Gene Pool", two very good stories involving Fandom and murder. The quote below, from "Zombies", reminds of when I had the flu last week...

24 or so examples of her short stories. Some suspense stories some not. Most are pretty good.

A folksinger moves to Hamelin in Appalacia and someone is out to get her, with spooky Vietnam War implications.

Elizabeth MacPherson helps solve the murders of two husbands who died over 100 years apart.

Elizabeth's and Bill's parents are divorcing, plus Bill is in big trouble in the second case of his law career.

Elizabeth MacPherson goes on a "Mystery" tour in the south of England. Really good story with many interesting tidbits of information and humerous incidents. Several characters are from the San Diego area, and one is from La Mesa!

Not a mystery, a bus tour by people who revered Dale Earnhart to various NASCAR race tracks. More car racing info. than I really wanted to know!! TITLE should be changed to "St. Dale", I did a boo-boo.

Mystery story set in Appalachia. Very good story. Kept reading sections to wife. Old man escapes from prison, Hometown folks on the lookout for him.

A fabulous story intwining a true story from the 1800s and a contemporary story involving Sheriff Spencer Arrowood.

Interesting novelization base on the author's research. I've read several of these "Ballad" novels, and have enjoyed them.

Murder at the Underhill farm in Appalacia leaves two teen survivors of the family.
