CAROL'S FAVORITE
Poisoned Pen Press, $24.95 (unsigned first edition)
Maddy Sprowls is not your sweet Miss Marple kind of, ahem, older dames. She's the newspaper librarian and actually prefers to stay in her newspaper, "morgue" where she's worked for the last 34 years. She's not a reporter, but she does see something interesting when four elderly and somewhat oddly dressed women get out of a taxi at a garage sale. The same cabby drives them around every week; Maddy can't help suggesting to the feature editor that it might be an interesting article. When one of the women is killed after the story runs with a picture, Maddy just can't keep her nose out of a good mystery. Was Violeta Bell really the Queen of Romania, as she claimed? This is the third Morgue Mama book, and Maddy is a delightful character. Here's hoping we see more of her.
