Mysteries
Postman Always Purls Twice by Anne Canadeo. One of those cozies with cats and knitting.
Aunt Dimity and the Summer King by Nancy Atherton. I like the cover. Page 109 says, "Bess was...turned...entirely...but...idle gossip...revive...recall...children."
Falling in Love by Donna Leon. Latest in the series with an Italian policeman. Page 88 says, "Whipped...again...they appeared...speaking...in a children's game...he ignored."
Bittersweet by Susan Wittig Albert. Wittig? Is that German? I should look it up. According to the bio Albert writes another series with her husband. Also, according to the bio, Albert should be Dr. Albert. Professor Albert? Well, maybe Professor is only used if the person is emeritus. I should look that up, too.
Gathering Prey by John Sandford. According to this bio Sandford moved to New Mexico.
Death Wears a Beauty Mask: and other stories by Mary Higgins Clark. Clark has been publishing since 1956. These stories span from 1958 to 2015. Mary Higgins Clark has never received the Mary Higgins Clark Award.

Here's my recipe for grilled chicken.
Turn grill on. Put salt, pepper, and a little oil on chicken. Put chicken on grill. Cook one side til kinda black. Flip. Cook other side til kinda black. Move to cooler part of grill, close lid, and drink a beer...or two.
