Excerpt My attention returned to the front door. A couple of holes allowed two dusty shafts of light access to the hardwood floor. My newspaper waited out there beyond those punctures and I wanted it. I didn't want a body lying on it. I didn't want blood on it. I did want to check the fight results of the Louis - Schmeling rematch. I did want to read the want ads. I did want... Well, there'd be no more in this lifetime.

Gunshots and Morning Coffee never go Together
For anyone who enjoys mysteries set amid the late 1930's, Bad News on the Doorstep by Ira Amos, is a winner. This easy to read novel has the body count (sans the gore) and a lovable wise-cracking detective who reluctantly teams with his employer, the ever-proper Arcadia Vyne, and manages to weave clues together for a surprise ending. I look forward to the next book in the Arcadia Vyne mystery series.
