FYI: This is not a "Summer Blockbuster" or "New Books for Summer List."
Linger over the remaining few days of summer--and into Indian Summer (is this a PC term?) with these "Summer Books." This list is not definitive, and I'd love to hear about your favorite "summer" mysteries.

Reading Michael Stanely's A Carrion Death right now. Gives one a good sense of Botswana. Lots of Steelworks, (funny name for a drink), being drunk.
And the most fun about the summery Ceepak books is I get to write them in the Winter...makes January feel warm!
What a terrific list, Janet, and I'm honored to be included.
I'm thinking of the holidays now, though, with promotion gearing up for The Body in the Sleigh, including a contest on my web site, which I have never done before. See you at Bouchercon I hope.
Yes, see you at Bouchercon.
Always funny thinking about the holidays when it's still summer. I'm working on my Holiday Parties with Murder on the Menu and TeamBuilding Unlimited right now.
