Percolating in hand

I seem to be gravitating toward books in my own library. Ones I didn‘t even know I had. This one for instance by Willard Scott. Some of you may remember him from the Today Show as a weatherman? … Oh sorry…a Meteorologist. I liked watching him because he always doled-out the temperatures with a side of humor. Does he still do the Today Show? I haven’t seen him on television in a while. So anyway….drifting off the path here. Murder Under Blue Skies is a Young Adult novel about Stanley Waters who, no surprise, is a weatherman who spews weather antics on an early morning show. He buys a Bed and Breakfast when he semi-retires then finds himself embroiled in a murder when one of his guests drops dead. This is a light read notwithstanding the mystery and red-herring clues. I do believe I’m going to like this one with just enough time to finish before Robert Crais arrives with The Sentry, on January 11.

 A bit of trivia about Willard Scott (1934 - ) that you may or may not know: in his earlier career he became the spokesperson for McDonalds’ restaurant chain as the first Ronald McDonald, and for a time, in the early 1960s, in addition to his radio work, Willard Scott played Bozo The Clown on a local children's TV show.

Scott has authored many books,
but the Stanley Waters’ murder mysteries
are my favorite.
