BY Hope Callaghan (Author) SKAGWAY SLEUTHS is the second of Hope Callaghan‘s Cruise Ship Director, Millie’s adventures in Alaska. I really enjoy them, having recently cruised the inside passage in Alaska myself. These mysteries depict shipboard life very true to form. It was like being there again as I read this book. Without the mystery, of course!!…
by Hope Callaghan (Author) Since I love cruising, I enjoy Hope Callaghan‘s Millie’s Cruise Ship mysteries. I’ve followed Millie through the Caribbean, to Great Britain, and now into Alaska.

On the practical side I will never be able to cook or eat a…
by Aaron Elkins (Author), Joel Richards (Narrator), Tantor Audio (Publisher) An AUDIObook review by Jackie Houchin I love Aaron Elkins’ “Bone Detective” mysteries starring the uber smart, but bumbling, Dr. Gideon Oliver. The forensic details he discovers and talks about are fascinating (but non-gory) and make excellent clues to the mysteries. In Icy Clutches, Gideon is newly married and has…
Elizabeth Logan (Author), Caroline Hewitt (Narrator), Blackstone Publishing (Publisher) An AUDIObook review by Jackie Houchin I enjoyed this cozy, first-in-the-series, mystery set in Alaska.
