Scots on the Rocks (2007)
The mystery has center stage for this book, which takes place in Scotland, at a Castle that has been somewhat turned into a Bed and Breakfast.

Major Vices (2001)
I liked this one best of all so far. I think Judith should hand off the reins to the B&B to someone else and trot the globe solving mysteries. She is much more fun when NOT at home!Aside from some weird typos and a few dreaded uses of the word "repose" early on, this book was good. Twists and tur...
Saks & Violins (2015)
If I hear once more about Judith's hip replacement I think I'll shriek! The surgeons should be talking to MS Daheim about her portrayal of the results of their work.

Gone with the Win (2013)
I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads. This was the first book in the series I have read. It reminded me of the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series. The characters and the humor made the book enjoyable. Probably, if I had read some of the previous books I would have bett...
Loco Motive (2010)
She, Judith, is on a train in this one. Still getting along in her years, and body count. Heh. By the way - for a note; I'm dating these things about one before the other. Gads. Now I sound like Arlene, Judiths' neighbor. I mean that I finished the last book about the time I registered for finish...
All the Pretty Hearses (2011)
I found the plot of All The Pretty Hearses interesting, though a bit confusing to follow. More than one character assumes a false identity and the large cast of characters moving in and out of Judith's B&B made it hard to remember who's who at times. An enjoyable read, one that makes me once agai...
The Wurst Is Yet to Come (2012)
I figured I'd read something a bit lighter, since most of what I've been reading recently is heavy/serious. This was on sale for Nook, and I liked the title, plus it's been a while since I read a cozy mystery.I hadn't read anything from this series before. I guess the premise is that the older la...
