Five Book Friday: In Memoriam

Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Checked Out A Dead End Job Mystery

This was a delightful read. I have spent much of my free time in a library, and do volunteer work for our Friends group. Luckily our disagreements are limited to how many tables are allocated to fiction vs how many for nonfiction. We have not come to blows...yet. This mystery has several fronts. Who is the ghost guest leaving clues in the morning for the staff to find? What has happened to the missing watercolor which is believed to be in the donations received recently? Phil and Helen also are investigating the missing golf cart and ruby necklace from a recent 21st birthday party. They investigate with natural ease. Both go undercover at their respective locations and solve the mysteries. This is wonderfully written, and without graphic violence, so I can give it to my mother to read.

Pot Thief Who Studied Pythagoras

This is a really wonderful book. It is about a man living in Albuquerque who has studied ancient pots, and can create replicas in his shop. He is so well versed in this, he can also find authentic ancient pots in the countryside, and he sells these as well. In the first book, he is also tasked with removing an ancient pot from a museum and solving a few murders. The POV is a great voice, with a humerous outlook on life.

Curiosity Killed The Cat Sitter

This contemporary Florida mystery is not necessarily a cozy, although it does showcase cats and dogs. How can one person find so many bodies, and not be more of a suspect? Read and see. Recommended.

What a very distinctive voice for a protagonist. It was a good mystery also. I've recommended it to my mother and my book group. Everyone likes it!
