Murder Past Due

I loved this book. It's full of cute banter and it's a great read. The eaudiobook is even better (with 2 readers). Dive in! Read it! Listen to it! You won't regret it.

This is a very interesting series. I love the characters. I love Ryan and Megan. I definitely wish those two would get it together and tell each other that they like each other!

When Dr. Megan Clark and the Murder by the Yard Reading Circle decided to do a mystery tour in Amarillo, her best friend, Ryan Stevens, could only hope that this would keep the petite redhead out of trouble. He should have known better. Before Ryan knows it, Megan has been asked to investigate a 20 year old murder by the victim's grandfather-in-law, Bruce Gorman. Ryan struggles with his hidden love for Megan, a childhood friend of his own children, while trying to keep her out of danger. This series has it all, mystery, budding romance, quotes from old mysteries (in this book, from old mystery films), and great characterizations. I was a fan of the Lydia Fairchild mysteries by this author and missed them when Ms. Meredith switched to her Sheriff series. I am pleased to see her return to a similiar style with the Clark series. I can't wait for the next one!

Megan, Ryan and their mystery reading group are back in another great adventure. A fun mix of real life and fictional murder stories and chapters that alternate between Megan's and Ryan's points of view keep the story moving.If you enjoy mysteries with quirky characters and amateur detectives, read this one!

Doris Meredith's understanding of human nature, and her grasp of the difficulties of detection and prosecution of crime, add up to a splendid mystery which absorbed me and kept me guessing. She has assembled some marvelous characters, all bookish by nature, who end up doing some amateur sleuthing that shames the cops. This is a tender story, filled with empathy toward people in trouble. I cherish these books, and believe mystery readers will love them too.
