![]() ![]() ![]() I have recently been reading comments and/or letters about the Orchard Mystery Series, so decided it was time to try it. I just passed the fiftieth page, so, as some of you know about my “decide by page 50 rule” > I must be enjoying her One Bad Apple. ![]() ![]() The “real book” (as the other is the audiobook in my car) is the first in the Orchard Mystery Series by Sheila Connolly (aka Sarah Atwell). She definitely qualifies as Cozy… and she even knits! Patricia Wentworth is an author who I found out about after several Cozy Mystery site readers recommended her to be included on the site. In turn, those people tell more people, etc. People who have used her to solve a mystery in their own lives tell people who sound like they need a competent investigator. The sleuth, Miss Silvers, is an older, retired school teacher/governess who has taken up private investigating in her later years. I am listening to one of Patricia Wentworth’s Miss Maud Silvers Cozy Mystery Series and, let me tell you, there is no question that this is a Cozy Mystery! No graphic language, violence, or “adult” situations. Every once in a while I simply have to talk about the Cozy Mystery books I am reading/listening to AND find out what books you all are reading. ![]()

The second describes the religious calendar, diurnal patterns of worship and observance, and the structure of religious space in temples, sanctuaries and sacred places. In the first the author considers the contemporary meaning of religious terms and concepts and the role religion played in the Roman sense of identity and destiny. Written by one of the world's leading scholars of the subject, it draws on the latest findings in archaeology and history to explain the meanings of rituals, rites, auspices and oracles, to describe the uses of temples and sacred ground, and to evoke the daily patterns of religious life and observance within the city Rome and its environs. This is an introduction to religion in Rome during the late republic and early empire. ![]() ![]() ![]() As one reader has said, Siri’s books are, “unexpected, haunting, and powerful,” and they are known for lively dialogue and honest emotion.
