The Winter Ground by Catriona McPherson, 295 pages
I've become a fan of the Dandy Gilver mysteries. They're set in Scotland after WWII and feature a aristocratic (low level) wife who is willing to go back to her pre-war responsibilities only. After becoming involved in a mystery featuring missing jewels, Dandy is making a name for herself as a woman who investigates discreetly. This newest mystery features a invalid wife, a winter-camped circus, and a girl who might be a member of Russian royalty in hiding. All in all, just another normal mystery to solve.

Deck Z: The Titanic by Chris Pauls, 222 pages
Samantha bought this ages ago at a Scholastic Book Fair. I finally got around to reading this and it was kind of a lame zombies on the Titanic mix. Not a great read.
Cemetery Girl by Charlaine Harris and Christopher Golden, 128 pages
Lisa reviewed this earlier and I have to say I agree with her opinion. Not a great graphic novel, luckily it was a fast read.
January Thaw by Jess Lourey, 272 pages
Mira James has found a body a month since moving to Battle Lake in May. If I was on the Chamber of Commerce, I would make her leave the town but until then I will enjoy the mystery books. Light and fluffy with just enough serious to make them really enjoyable.

No Dawn for Men by James LePore and Carlos Davis, 271 pages
One of the oddest books I've read in a while (and I read a lot of odd books.) Ian Fleming (James Bond creator), J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings creator) and Nazis in a race to find an amulet that raises the dead back to life. Why haven't there been more books with this plot!?!
This was almost too odd to be enjoyable, the only saving grace is that I read it really fast and didn't tie up a lot of time on it.
