Of the six books I returned this week, I had a difficult time picking a winner. Honorable mention goes to a classic (at least in the mystery genre), Strong Poison by Dorothy L. Sayers, which introduces Lord Peter's future wife, Harriet Vane.
The top prize was nabbed by previously-featured author, Lauren Willig and her latest spying flower, The Temptation of the Night Jasmine. Contrived, ridiculous and loads of fun, the evil Night Jasmine kidnaps king George III before our hero and heroine can leap in a rescue him. And our faithful graduate student who, in the present day, unearths these treasures from the dusty family archives, imagines spies everywhere. The whole garden of spies satisfy the way a big sticky caramel apple does.
