Hideout by Louisa Luna
Bingo: Elephant (the elephant in the room being the white supremacist group that the townsfolk and police department of Ilona, OR, are desperately pretending aren't there) This is the third Alice Vega mystery, and while it's probably my least favorite so far, it's still pretty good. Alice Vega … [Read more]
The Case of the Missing Marquess by Nancy Springer

Cbr14bingo Funky (I mean, look at photos of this glorious, gorgeous lady. FUNKY!)
