author I'm readily familiar with whereas the other has a clever title
for a genuine niche audience.
The book club read The Ice Maiden a few years ago and I was introduced to writer Edna Buchanan's protagonist, Miami reporter Brit Montero in The Ice Maiden. During the coming years, Brit quietly disappeared as a new series began with Miami's "Cold Case Squad."
This year, Brit returns to join Buchanan's new series regulars of the Cold Case Squad in the new Love Kills: a Brit Montero novel. Brit is sought out by the Cold Case Squad for questions involving a current case with the remains of a recently discovered kidnapper. The squad finds that Brit is the last person to have seen this person. Brit, meanwhile, has been staying at a Caribbean Island and attempting to recover after the death of the man she was engaged to marry. While there though, she finds herself in a mystery when locating a camera from a dead honeymooning couple and what it could mean. The book is 308 pages.
The next book is The Sudoku Murder: a Katie McDonald mystery by Shelley Freydont.
The book is the first of a series and introduces a puzzle master as the amateur sleuth. Here, Katie becomes the new curator of her hometown puzzle museum and follows a childhood's mentor's work with her new job which even includes inheriting a young mentee--a 14-year-old runaway. And matters are much more difficult and dangerous for Katie as she does attempt solve another puzzle, the recent murder of her childhood mentor, Professor P.T.Avondale. The novel is 342 pages.
