Ah, Autumn!
\n“Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,

\nYes, well, my brain doesn’t put it quite like Keats. It wants to know: where is all the daylight going!? It doesn’t like AT ALL the sun rising later and setting sooner. The world IS ending!!!

Lisa Lutz’s Spellman family mysteries are hilarious.\u00a0 The Spellmans live in San Francisco and run a family business of private investigators. They are not above investigating each other, which can make family life interesting to say the least. And Tarquin Hall has started a delightful series set in Delhi, India, featuring Vish Puri, owner and principle investigator of Most Private Investigators, Ltd. The Spellman series should be read in order (The Spellman Files<\/em> being the first), the Vish Puri mysteries (there are 2 out, my second is on the way!) I don’t think will need to be read in order.
