This is the second Calendar Clan Mystery. (June’s sisters are named January, April and May, and her brothers are August and October.) June and Wallace have been married 3 months now. Wallace is the sheriff in a small N Carolina town. One morning as June goes into the laundry room to get food for the cat, there’s a loud knock at the back door. When she parts the blinds to see who’s there, a man’s bloody face is in the window. He has no id and is in bad shape. Soon a second man is found dead in a field. Then June and Wallace start getting shot at and they have to go into hiding. Someone seems to be out to get them. There is a lot of romance too; kissing at breakfast, snuggling by the fire, kissing at supper, assurances that each loves the other more than he/she could possibly know, remarks from others as to how in love they are. And there’s a lot of cooking going on: big breakfasts, multiple chocolate cakes, pies, hams – they do like to eat.

Light, frothy and good for an afternoon at the beach or on the porch.… (more)
