The Grub-and-Stakers Pinch a Poke

I enjoyed the books by Charlotte MacLeod, who also wrote as Alisa Craig, many years ago, but had not seen any of her works in print for decades. This situation with many authors from the past is why I finally bought a Kindle Paperwhite, and I have recently purchased all of the Madoc & Janet Rhys books, as well as a few others from the other series that she wrote. My only complaint is that these books for Kindle are almost always as expensive as getting an actual book, but sometimes the individual books will suddenly be only $2 or $3, instead of $8 or more, and then I try to get them before the price goes up again. I always thought that the whole idea for developing e-readers was to give people the chance to buy book downloads for less than a physical copy would be, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Sellers of e-readers might stop to consider that for an e-reader to be cost-effective, the books should be priced accordingly, especially for these older books. Another good idea, that took off and then people got greedy, and here we are again.

Charlotte Macleod will be sorely missed. Having completed my collection of her mystery books, I'm on the lookout for her short stories. This series is light, fun and well written as are all her works.

Alas Charlotte MacLeod is no longer with us, but I love all her books. I've re-read this once since buying it because it's that much fun.

All books in this series are fantastic. They are EXTREMELY funny and the characters are so well done

Charlotte MacLeod was a very creative and clever mystery writer. Her characters are so likable. I wish she had been able to live and write longer.

One of my three favorite authors.

The Grub & Stakers series is one of my favorite. Well-written and fun to read!

just as advertized.

Im letzten Band haben die Mitglieder des Garten-und-Bogenschießvereins von Lobelia Falls ein Museum aufgemacht, jetzt geht es darum, eine bedeutende Sammlung dafür zu erwerben. Nein, nein, nicht einfach kaufen, sondern gewinnen - in einem Wettbewerb für Laientheatergruppen. Zum Glück gab es früher mal eine solche in ihrem Dorf, so daß es nicht allzu schwierig ist, ein Stück auf die Bühne zu bringen.Eine Leiche gibt es nicht, aber viele Mordversuche, die so schnell wie möglich aufgeklärt werden müssen, um Leben zu schützen.Sehr empfehlenswert - auch wenn hie und da ein Fehler in der Übertragung vom analogen Buch zur digitalen Form Wörter verstümmelt und das Verständnis erschwert.
