Lox and bagels

Sharon Kahn has written a delightful book entitled Hold the Cream Cheese, Kill the Lox. It's the fourth in her series of "Ruby the Rabbi's Wife" mysteries.

Ruby is a delightful first-person narrator. She's actually the rabbi's widow, and I an sure tell you from having been a minister's wife for 17 years, this gal is a pistol! She seems glad to be out from under the ministry spouse mantle.

The mystery is a good one, enough to keep me interested throughout. While I wasn't 100% surprised at the "bad guy," it was still a good mystery and ended well.

I'll certainly be looking for more Ruby books in the future!

PS: I may be on a mystery kick, but I'm not reading ALL mysteries. Some good fiction reviews are forthcoming. Stay tuned!

HOME by Julie Andrews

If you are in any way interested in Julie Andrews, you'll enjoy this fascinating volume. HOME is her autobiography, from birth to Mary Poppins.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope that she writes the rest of her autobiography, because she is a fabulous writer, and has lived an interesting life.

French Pressed by Cleo Coyle

For cozy mystery fans...Cleo Coyle has a new mystery out! French Pressed was released on Tuesday, April 1 (no foolin, I promise!). It's in bookstores now.

I began reading it and it's a good one! I love the "foodie" information that this one has, making it a bit different from the previous books in the series.

It's a fun read! Enjoy! And don't forget to grab a cup of coffee while you're reading.
