I just finished reading Stranger Room, a locked room mystery with two murders occurring 150 years apart. This is Frederick Ramsay’s fourth Ike Schwartz mystery taking place in Picketsville VA. I read a review of this a few months ago and put in a request for it. It was worth the wait.
The stranger room is a part of the main house with a separate entrance, kept for use by unknown travelers. Personal relationships, moral issues, racism and possible drug trafficking all make the story more interesting. I want to go back and read the other three books.
Also on my nightstand is Dancing with Werewolves, the first volume of a new series by Carole Nelson Douglas, the author of the Midnight Louie feline sleuth stories and Irene Adler mysteries. I don’t generally read other-worldly kind of stuff but I like the Midnight Louie series so I’ll give it a try.
