A Mysterious Review of Skating Under the Wire by Joelle Charbonneau. A Rebecca Robbins Mystery.
Review summary: The mystery here is an entertaining one if also a very light one. The appeal here is primarily in the diverse cast of characters centered around an appealing amateur sleuth, one who takes her small town community responsibilities very seriously, even if the police don't necessarily share her enthusiasm for her work. A solid entry in this series. (Click here for text of full review.)

A Rebecca Robbins Mystery
Minotaur Books (October 2013)
Publisher synopsis: Rebecca Robbins has pulled the rink she inherited off the market. She's decided to stay in Indian Falls for good. Rebecca is certain that if she can get her maid of honor duties fulfilled and Thanksgiving dinner cooked, life will finally settle down to normal.
But when Rebecca is hired to look into a string of home invasions and a dead body turns up at the bridal shower, she is forced to put aside her hopes for a quiet holiday season.
With the help of her Elvis-loving grandfather and her sexy, commitment-seeking large animal vet boyfriend, Rebecca has to track down thieves that have eluded the cops for years, solve a murder, get her friend safely married, and somehow cook dinner for an ever expanding guest list without getting herself killed.
