Love and hate in one book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Miss Zukas Shelves The Evidence (Mass Market Paperback)
Helma Zukas is an aging, unyielding old maid whose attitude makes me want to run screaming down a hallway; in real life, I'd send her "boyfriend" an anonymous note advising him to RUN...not walk...away from this relationship. On the other hand, I can't put any books in this series down until I've read them completely through. Jo Dereske's characters are exasperating, but they sure make one hell of a good read! Bring on the next one...it's overdue!

Miss Zukas Stands Her Ground!,
By L Smith "acozylover" (Macomb, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miss Zukas Shelves The Evidence (Mass Market Paperback)
In this 7th book in the Miss Zukas series, Helma meets Chief of Police, Wayne Gallant's, children for the first time. It seems he wants to take their extremely slow-moving romance to a new level, and Helma is happy to comply. However, before the shock of meeting Wayne's teenagers has time to wear off, both him and Helma become involved in another murder investigation. When Chief Gallant gets injured while investigating the case, Helma and his kids must find the killer before anyone else gets hurt. Adding to the suspense is the fact that a library book is found at the site of Chief Gallant's injuries, and Helma refuses to disclose the library patron who checked out the book. Will she change her mind and violate her personal ethics to save Wayne and his kids? Or will she become the target of the killer since she knows too much?This was a great installment in the series about the very practical, dependable librarian. We start to see a more human side of Helma as she faces choices to help her love interest, Wayne. I also like the fact that the romance may move forward a bit faster (7 books and not even a smooch!), but not too fast. If you have not tried this series but enjoy cozy mysteries, you will like this book, even if you have read none of the previous books in the series. The first book in this series is "Miss Zukas and the Library Murders". Enjoy!

Intelligence Meets Intrigue!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Miss Zukas Shelves the Evidence (Paperback)
Miss Helma Zukas is tactful, resourceful and smart. With her cultural moras and crisp attitude, she tackles problems methodically and boldly. There are very few issues that give her pause as she researches, breaks down the facts and acts.Dereske gives women a good role model with her mysteries and I hope she writes more! Cheers for Helma!
