This is the second in a mystery series about a forensic pathologist, and an archaeologist who are called to work on cases of bodies found in bogs. Bogs have a way of preserving bodies, so specialists need to be called in to determine if it is a modern case or a case from a previous age in history. I read the first in the series a couple of years ago. I think I bought the third one in the series at the same time for $1.99. I wanted to read it recently, but thought I should read them in order, so I checked this one out from the library.
I loved this one! I usually don't like reviews that say a book is funny...if you are the same, then pretend I didn't say it...but I laughed a lot. I listened to this as a library audiobook, and the funny may have been due to the narrator, so if you are reading a hard copy and not enjoying it, I suggest trying the audio version. The narrator was excellent (in my humble opinion).
This is by the author of Lessons in Chemistry. Peck & Peck is about a boy who loves poetry. His family is loving and supportive, but doesn't really think he can make a living in poetry.
A local quilting group of mostly senior quilters find out a regional quilt show is set to come to a town near them. They boost their membership by recruiting two gay men who have never quilted before, though one of them has worked in a quilt shop for several years. As a member of a quilt group myself, I have to say the group dynamic is pretty spot on. :)
