Now I am NOT the typical mystery reader. Sure, I've read my share of Agatha Christie, a few Rex Stouts, and even less Dick Francis. I enjoyed every book I've read, but I guess the genre just isn't my thing.
However, there's one exception. For me, Linda Mickey http://www.lindamickey.com/ writes really appealing mysteries, because her main character, Kyle Shannon, is very realistic. Not your typical sleuth in any manner, Kyle tries to go about her normal life. She is intelligent and hard working, but seems to stumble upon, and while she's at it, solve a few murders now and again.
Linda Mickey's ongoing series, which includes Greased Wheels, Defective Goods, and the latest - Horse Power, while very entertaining and believable, they're also fun to read. These books are the kind you sit down with a glass of wine or hot cup of tea/coffee, let the cat or dog curl up nearby, and you get away from it all for awhile. When you get to the last page and the crime has been solved, with no loose strings, by the way, you have a wonderful sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
So, I highly recommend such entertainment. You must give Linda Mickey a spin, because you'll start clambering for her to write more Kyle Shannon books!
