No Nest for the Wicket by Donna Andrews
If you like the Stephie Plum books (and I do), you'll like Meg Langslow stories too. The same easy, breezy writing style with interesting and likeable characters and lightly humorous situations.
Long story short, a female blacksmith and her professor fiance buy a small farm in a town filled with eccentric people. Most of the town is engaged in an Xtreme Croquet tournament when the narrator literally falls over a body.
There didn't seem to be a lot of clues to ponder to figure out who the killer was, so as a murder mystery, I don't know if it holds up, but it was a very pleasant journey.

I dunno if I admire your perseverance or am just really glad I would never, ever be tempted to do something like this, so I conflicted but fascinated that you are doing it.
I found some really great books that have been hiding on my shelves for years (The Naked Sun and Shadow something). So far I have been happy with the results of this project.
I find myself looking forward with anticipation at several books I know are a few years away.
