Bonjour à tous !
Je suis très heureuse de vous retrouver aujourd'hui pour mon In My Mailbox.
In My Mailbox (ou IMM) est un rendez-vous mis en place par Kristi, du blog The Story Siren et inspiré par Alea, du blog Pop Culture Junkie. C'est un moyen de partager les livres reçus chaque semaine dans notre boîte aux lettres, mais aussi les livres achetés ou empruntés en bibliothèque.
C'est le blog Lire ou mourir qui s'occupe des In My Mailbox français.
Un IMM tout en anglais, cette semaine encore, avec ...
... deux "cozy mysteries" commandés sur internet :
✦ The Quiche and the Dead (Pie Town Mystery #1), de Kirsten Weiss
Owning her own business seemed like pie in the sky to Valentine Harris when she moved to the coastal California town of San Nicholas, expecting to start a new life with her fiancé. Five months—and a broken engagement—later, at least her dream of opening a pie shop has become a reality. But when one of her regulars keels over at the counter while eating a quiche, Val feels like she's living a nightmare.
After the police determine the customer was poisoned, business at Pie Town drops faster than a fallen crust. Convinced they’re both suspects, Val's flaky, seventy-something pie crust maker Charlene drags her boss into some amateur sleuthing. At first Val dismisses Charlene’s half-baked hypotheses, but before long the ladies uncover some shady dealings hidden in fog-bound San Nicholas. Now Val must expose the truth—before a crummy killer tries to shut her pie hole.

✦ Bleeding Tarts (Pie Town Mystery #2), de Kirsten Weiss
Old West ghost towns are as American as apple pie. So what better place to sponsor a pie-eating contest than the Bar X, a fake ghost town available for exclusive private events on the edge of Silicon Valley. Valentine Harris is providing the pies, hoping to boost business for her struggling Pie Town shop and become a regular supplier for the Bar X.
But no sooner does she arrive in town than a stray bullet explodes the cherry pie in her hands. And the delicious dessert is not the only victim. Val finds the Bar X bartender shot dead in an alley. Egged on by her flaky friend and pie crust specialist, Charlene, Val aims to draw out the shooter. But solving a real murder in a fake ghost town won't be easy as pie. And if Val doesn't watch her back, her pies won't be the only thing filled full of lead . . .
