Margin of Error (Britt Montero, Bk 5) by Edna Buchanan — A news reporter is forced to relive an incident where she shot a man, and finds herself being stalked. In the meantime other mysterious mishaps and deaths, begin to occur, a baby starves to death and a serial killer begins mutilating hearts. — Mrs. Pollifax and the Lion Killer by D...  more »

In response to a desperate SOS, Kadi Hopkirk flies to the African country of Ubangiba, where her childhood friend, Sammat, is soon to be crowned king. Mrs. Pollifax, reluctant to allow the girl to venture alone into what she fears may be grave danger, crashes the party.

On arrival, Kadi and Mrs. P. soon discover that Sammat has dangerous enemies. Rumors are springing up that he is a sorcerer who is responsible for a rash of shocking murders in which the victims appear to have been clawed to death by a lion. These crimes are especially terrifying because there are no lions in Ubangiba. So Mrs. Pollifax wades into the fray, hunting for the source of the bloody terrorism that threatens Sammat and Ubangiba--not to mention Kadi and Mrs. Pollifax...

The Cereal Murders (Goldy Culinary, Bk 3) by Diane Mott Davidson

Thanks to her recent adventures in Dying for Chocolate, Goldy Bear, the premier caterer of Aspen Meadow, Colorado, is no stranger to violence--or sudden death. But when she agrees to cater the first College Advisory Dinner for Seniors and Parents at the exclusive Elk Park Preparatory School, the last thing she expects to find at the end of the evening is the battered body of the school valedictorian.

Who could have killed Keith Andrews, and why? Goldy's hungry for some answers--and not just because she found the corpse. Her young son, Arch, a student at Elk Park Prep, has become a target for some not-so-funny pranks, while her eighteen-year-old live-in helper, Julian, has become a prime suspect in the Andrews boy's murder.

As her investigation intensifies, Goldy's anxiety level rises faster than homemade doughnuts. . .as she turns up evidence that suggests that Keith knew more than enough to blow the lid off some very unscholarly secrets. And then, as her search rattles one skeleton too many, Goldy learns a crucial fact: a little knowledge about a killer can be a deadly thing.

Three mysteries: Margin of Error by Edna Buchanan, Dark Room by Minette Walters, and The Cereal Murders by Diane Mott Davidson.

Each of these were good in their own right. One features a caterer who gets involved in murder, one a reporter in Miami who does the crime beat, and the other one is features a woman who tries to commit suicide and then doesn't remember anything when she survives.

I thought The Dark Room the least interesting of the three, but it had it's moments. Diane Mott Davidson and Edna Buchanan always write an interesting mystery.
