Summary: There are seven deadly sins, and in this superb anthology, edited by
Elizabeth George, some of the most able and original purveyors of crime fiction
explore Two of the Deadliest. These “New Tales of Lust, Greed, and
Murder from Outstanding Women of Mystery” feature sterling stories from Laura
Lippman, Susan Wiggs, Carolyn Hart, Nancy Pickard, and George herself, as well
as from other masters and exciting, tremendously talented newcomers.
Angie’s comments: This is a great book for picking up, reading one of the
stories, then putting it down until you have more time. The stories are vastly
different, and not all encompass murder.
Recommended for mystery readers and readers of
short stories.

Dolled Up to Die
Summary: When Cate Kinkaid receives a frantic call about a triple homicide, she
drives to the scene against her better judgment--aren't triple homicides more
up the police department's alley?--only to find that the victims are not quite
who she expects. Now she has a new rule to add to those she's learned in her
short stint as an assistant private investigator: always find out if the
victims actually have human DNA. Because these three do not.
But who would shoot this nice lady's dolls? What possible reason could the shooter have? And then there's the startling discovery of another victim, who definitely does have human DNA . . . With tension that is matched only by humor, "Dolled Up to Die" is the exciting second book in Lorena McCourtney's The Cate Kinkaid Files. Mystery fans won't find a place to stop and take a breath in this fast-paced and intriguing tale.
Angie’s comments: There is tension, romance, mystery, murder, eccentric
hobbies, and more in this novel. There are also overtones of Christianity. As
the second in the Cate Kinkaid Files series, it also works as a stand-alone
book.
Recommended for cozy mystery readers.
