Intrigue in Italics by Gayle Wigglesworth

In the 3rd Claire Gulliver Adventure by Gayle Wigglesworth, my favorite, we find Claire on vacation in Italy with her mom and her mom's friend, where they are attending a cooking school. One day she runs into an old friend... but the old friend won't even acknowledge her.  Then Claire realizes she attended the person's funeral about a year ago.  Of course she cannot let it go.  She has to track down the person and make sure it isn't her friend. Obviously Intrigue ensues! Meanwhile her mother gets mixed up in some Intrigue of her own at the cooking school. This was a really fun, clean read for me!

Washington Weirdos by Gayle Wigglesworth

The 2nd in the Claire Gulliver mysteries by Gayle Wigglesworth finds Claire in Washington where the owner of Vantage Airlines has offered her a golden ticket to ride anywhere, anytime for the rest of her life on their airlines for helping solve the mystery in London in the last book.  While there, she is attacked and thus a new mystery unfolds. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat from the first chapter. These mysteries also have some humor added in, which I really enjoy.  Another fun adventure in clean reading!

Sex - none
Violence- the attack on Claire but it is not graphic
Profanity - D-mn 2, G-d 14 but almost all are thanking G-d, H-ll 4, Sh-t 1

Pumpkin Roll by Josi Kilpack

If you want a book free of all foul language, sex and violence, this is the book for you.  Josi Kilpack's main character, Sadie Hoffmiller is a no-nonsense, single mom (empty nester) who has a nack for investigating murders.  She has Christian values without cramming them down your throat.  She and her boyfriend go no further than kissing, which is very refreshing in today's media.  Her strongest swear word is "biscuits."  She makes me laugh. On this adventure, she and her boyfriend Pete agree to babysit Pete's granchildren while his son and wife are away for a week.  The minute they arrive at the son's home strange things begin to happen. As the tail of the neighborhood "witch" come into play, Sadie cannot help but try to unravel the puzzle.  I LOVED this book!  It is the 6th book in the Sadie Hoffmiller series.  All of them are entertaining and very clean reads!

Sex - a couple of innocent kisses
