snugglekittyAlso this week, I've finished Murder on Marble Row and Kitty Goes to Washington. Two quick and fluffy reads.
Murder on Marble Row is another in Victoria Thompson's Gaslight Mysteries series. I don't know how she continues to keep these from being predictable. Despite the number of them I've read already, I'm still unable to figure out whodunit with any accuracy. She really drags things out between the main characters, though - it's driving me crazy. Not just in a Mulder and Sculley way, although that's certainly a factor. But other aspects of their lives move on at a snail's pace, too. She keeps me reading, although not without a certain frustration. Three and a half stars.
Kitty Goes to Washington is the new sequel to Carrie Vaughn's Kitty and the Midnight Hour. I enjoyed it almost as much as the first book, which happens but rarely. Kitty is a very sympathetic character, and the troubles she gets into are quite believable. This book, even more than the first book, has her wondering who to trust. I look forward to the next installment, Kitty Takes a Holiday which is promised in 2007. ETA: On waking up, I remembered that this book had some editing problems and at least one significant plothole. Oh, well. I doubt it's Miss Vaughn's fault.
