The murder mystery series has 16 novels. I have read them all and they are good. It mostly takes place in a tiny town in the Quebec mountains just north of VT. The town is very small with lots of quirky characters who are also diverse, with a black woman bookstore owner, and artist who becomes famous, a crotchety potty-mouthed famous poet, a gay male couple that runs the local restaurant and BnB. But apart from the fact that the author is obviously liberal, the novels are not political. They're good murder mysteries, with a big human element. And the police detective, who's the main character in all the books, is constantly fighting political corruption. So it seemed a bit odd when she started including the Clintons in her acknowledgements toward the end of the series.. And now the 17th novel is supposed to be co-written by Hillary. I won't be buying it. Don't understand why a successful author would want to alienate half her audience by aligning with a public person half the country hates because she's so corrupt.. Makes one wonder if there's more to the story.
