Hey, mystery fans….looking for something good to read?
 
At the May Just Desserts meeting, last week, after discussing our monthly “assigned” book, we did a round robin at the table, asking attendees to share what mysteries they’d been reading lately that they felt they could recommend. Here’s a list of the novels and DVD sets that were hot in May with this mystery-savvy crowd:

• Knots & Crosses by Ian Rankin (series previously used for Just Desserts discussion)
• The Yiddish Policemen’s Union by Michael Chabon
• A River in the Sky by Elizabeth Peters
• The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson
• Exposed by Alex Kava
• Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane
• The Broken Vase, a Tecumseh Fox novel by Rex Stout
• A Twist of Orchids by Michelle Wan
• Cursed by Carol Higgins Clark
• Farrier’s Lane by Anne Perry
• A Most Wanted Man by John Le Carre (on CD)
• Cat of the Century by Rita Mae Brown
• The Kate Shugak series by Dana Stabenow (series previously used for Just Desserts discussion)

So…what mysteries have you been reading that you’d recommend?
