Review of "The Hen of the Baskervilles: A Meg Langslow Mystery" by Donna Andrews

In this 15th book in the 'Meg Langslow' series, the multitasking blacksmith/amateur sleuth investigates vandalism and murder at the fair.

The book can be read as a standalone.

*****

The town of Caerphilly, Virginia is hosting a fair and Meg Langslow - blacksmith, wife, mother of toddler twins, and hobbyist farmer - is assistant director. Amidst preparations for opening day a vandal targets the fair and valuable chickens are stolen;

A prize-worthy pumpkin is smashed;

And a beautiful quilt is sullied. Soon afterward a straying husband is shot dead.

The Caerphilly cops reluctantly team up with neighboring Clay cops to solve the crime and, of course, Meg helps investigate as well.

I enjoyed this humorous, cozy mystery and learned something about heirloom species of animals as well. A good light read.

Rating: 3 stars

This work of creative non-fiction by Jan Stocklassa offers a comprehensive overview of the murder of Olof Palme. Author Jan Stocklassa Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme ***** On February 28, 1986, Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme was assassinated on the corner of Sveavägen and Tunnelgaten in Stockholm. Corner of Sveavägen and Tunnelgaten in Stockholm After dismissing his security guards for the evening, Palme and his wife Lisbeth went to the movies, then decided to walk home. Olof Palme and his wife Lisbeth As the couple was strolling along a gunman closed in and shot Palme in the back, killing him almost instantly. A second shot in Lisbeth's direction only drilled two holes into her coat, and she was unharmed. The killer then ran away and escaped. The hunt for the shooter spawned a laundry list of suspects and a plethora of conspiracy theories, but at the time of this book's publication - more than three decades later - the killer still hasn't been unequivocally identified. To write this narrative, Jan Stocklassa relied heavily on the archives of Stieg Larsson , the author of 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' series. Writer Stieg Larsson Most people aren't aware that Larsson was originally an investigative journalist and illustrator who did extensive research on white-nationalist, right-wing, and neo-Nazi groups in Sweden. Larsson suspected that far-right organizations conspired to assassinate Palme, and immediately began investigating the murder from that point of view. Larsson's theory morphed over time to include pro-apartheid groups in South Africa, because Palme strongly and vocally opposed this policy of racial segregation.......

Steve Martin (b. 1945) is an award-winning American comedian, actor, writer, producer, and musician. Steve and his sister Melinda were born to Mary and Glenn Martin in Waco, Texas, and the family moved to California when Steve was five. Glenn, a real estate agent, had show business dreams that didn't pan out. Perhaps as a result, the Martin household was cold and quiet. Steve Martin with his mother Mary, father Glenn, and sister Melinda Glenn was a harsh disciplinarian, and Steve describes an episode - when he was about nine - when Glenn took off his belt and administered a beating that 'never seemed to end.' The next day, Steve had to wear long pants and long sleeves to hide the welts. Steve remained distant from his father after that, and had little to do with either parent after high school. Later on, Glenn (perhaps resentful) was openly and insultingly critical of Steve's show business success, disdaining Steve's stand-up act and his appearances on Saturday Night Live. Decades later, there was a rapprochement among the family members, with everyone accepting some of the blame for the discord. Steve Martin doing his standup act Steve Martin on Saturday Night Live In this memoir, published in 2007, Steve concentrates on his stand-up comedy career, which peaked in the 1970s, and was then abandoned for acting, screenwriting, producing, etc......

Dana Rubin is an award-winning journalist, speaker, speechwriter, and creator/curator of the world’s largest collection of speeches by women. Author Dana Rubin 'Jewish Voices' is a different kind of collection, an assemblage of quotes from Jewish men and women, accompanied by beautiful artistic renderings by Jewish artists. Rubin introduces 'Jewish Voices' as follows: "Words and language have always occupied a place of special reverence in Jewish life. From the beginning of recorded history, the wisdom and culture of the Jewish people have been communicated through the written and spoken word." Perhaps the best example of this are Talmudic scholars who spend their entire lives studying and discussing the Talmud - the compilation of writings that covers all Jewish laws and traditions. 'Jewish Voices' is divided into ten sections, each containing a series of quotes and a brief biography of each person quoted. The men and women cited include scholars, politicians, celebrities, authors, scientists, poets, artists, and more. I'll list the sections, with an example of a quote from each one. ❂ Land of Milk and Honey (This refers to the land of Israel.) "I stand with Israel because when I walk around Jerusalem, every step I take is part of my history." Melinda Strauss, Jewish content creator and kosher cookbook author. ***** ❂ Diaspora ("The Jewish people have continuously been uprooted and forced to abandon and rebuild their lives in a perpetual state of exile.").....

I liked Ellen Byron's 'Cajun Country Mystery Series', set in Louisiana, so I decided to try this debut novel in the author's 'Golden Motel' series, set in California. ***** Dee Stern was a Hollywood sitcom writer for fifteen years, but her latest job on the kids' show 'Duh!' - about tween superheroes in middle school - was the last straw. Dee admits, 'The job was hard, the pay was bad, the staff hated being there, and the writing was terrible, even my own.' Taking a drive to get out of Los Angeles, Dee is meandering through the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains when she sees an abandoned hostelry, called the Golden Motel, for sale. On the spot, Dee decides to become a hotelier..... ......and she and her best friend (and former husband) Jeff Cornetta pool their money to buy the motel. To get the venue going, Dee and Jeff must clean, decorate, and refurnish all the rooms and cabins; fix the welcome sign, which currently only illuminates the letters 'OLD MOTEL'; and repair the pool.....

Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the anatomy. Cancer often manifests as tumors, and the earliest mention of breast tumors occurred over 5,000 years ago, in papyrus documents from ancient Egypt. The illness was named by the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates in 370 BCE, who called the lumps karkinomas (carcinomas). Brain Tumor. Over the years, cancer has been attributed to a variety of factors, including viruses, environmental carcinogens, chemicals, smoking, sunlight, diet, and more. Heredity was also suggested as a causative factor, but most medical researchers dismissed the idea until Dr. Frederick Pei Li and Dr. Joseph Fraumeni Jr. demonstrated that some families have an unusually high incidence of cancer, and that a propensity for the disease is inherited. Dr. Frederick Pei Li (left) and Dr. Joseph Fraumeni Jr.. The author, award-winning journalist Lawrence Ingrassia, comes from a cancer-prone family......

One mining ship called Rockhopper..... .....captained by Bella Lind, extracts ice from comets. Rockhopper is going about its business when Janus, an ice moon circling Saturn, abandons its orbit and heads for outer space. As the ice sloughs off Janus's surface it's clear the 'moon' is an alien craft, perhaps put in place to spy on our solar system. Rockhopper's corporate owners instruct Captain Lind to follow Janus as far as is practicable, sending back reports along the way. To accomplish this Bella must determine how much fuel Rockhopper has, so she knows when to terminate surveillance and return home. There's a fly in the ointment however. Chief Engineer Svetlana Barseghian thinks the corporation is digitally finagling the fuel data, so Rockhopper will follow Janus for a longer time and send back more valuable data.....
