A Noble Radiance by Donna Leon. A fairly good one in the series. A good police procedural, with rough justice at the end.

The Wurst is Yet to Come by Mary Daheim. I enjoy this fairly frivolous series with a bed and breakfast owner. Not really mysteries but fun reads.

Vineyard Chill by Phillip Craig. The last book by the author, who recently passed away. He had a nice sense of place. I feel like I've been to Martha's Vineyard and I learned to appreciate in the abstract the lure of fishing.

Moonlight and Vines by Charles de Lint. A collection of his short stories, with recurring characters in his created milieu. I go off and on with this author. It's urban fantasy in the sense of fairies, sprites and manitou in cities. He made me want to visit Toronto. I have to be in the right mood to read him, as sometimes he's depressing. He does write well though.

I tried to read De Wint's Widdershins and wound up being merely astounded at the way he juggles a huge cast of characters and a number of running, intersecting plots. I recall nothing whatever about the story beyond that.
