This book picks up shortly after the first in the series ends. Familiar characters are back but in this book the author gives us a better understanding of Montufar & Dumas and their backgrounds. We also get a glimpse into the life of Peller and his wife. I really enjoyed the side plot of the … Continue reading True Death (Howard County Mysteries #2) by Dale E. Lehman
Mystery
A Little Sin by Sionnach Wintergreen
This novella is the perfect combination of story, characters and history. It is a male/male romance and has a few steamy scenes that enhance but not detract from the mystery in this small Texas town in the 1920’s. The book opens to the hanging of the local doctor and the sheriff is left without a … Continue reading A Little Sin by Sionnach Wintergreen
The Mercer Street Murders: A Bennett & DeMarko Mystery by Aaron S Gallagher
This is the 3rd book in this series and I have read them all. I was pulled into the first one by the two main characters Toni & Harry.

A u 7 9 by Anita Dickason
This book features those people in our world who just seem to have a little something extra. The ability to put people at ease, or know what is going on behind the façade we put up. Those abilities and a strong thriller/suspense plot made this book a great read. When I first saw this book … Continue reading A u 7 9 by Anita Dickason
The Fibonacci Murders (#1 Howard County Murder Mystery) by Dale E Lehman
Thanks to my math geek husband who uses the Fibonacci series on a daily basis (he even has a t-shirt and a clock!), I know a little about it. However this well played out scenario took my knowledge to a whole new level. The local police are a little out of their depth as they … Continue reading The Fibonacci Murders (#1 Howard County Murder Mystery) by Dale E Lehman
Father Figure by James J. Cudney
I have followed and enjoyed this author's blog for a while now and am happy to be included in the Book Blog Tour for this book. This well written book follows a mother and daughter through various times of their lives. The alternating chapters go between the mother in 1984 and the daughter in 2004. … Continue reading Father Figure by James J. Cudney
Lily Torrence by Fred Andersen
Do you remember the 25 cent pocket paperbacks of Mike Shayne? Yeah – I’m not that old either. However this book reminded me of these as it is a classic noir mystery or pulp mystery. The book takes place in the long ago days of Hollywood. There is a bombshell actress with a past and … Continue reading Lily Torrence by Fred Andersen
Hardcore Twenty-Four by Janet Evanovich
I have been a fan of this series and Stephanie Plum since the first book. The humor, characters and location(Texas has my heart but I am a Jersey girl!) kept me coming back each and every book for more. Unfortunately the series had become a little too predictable and I stopped buying the books as … Continue reading Hardcore Twenty-Four by Janet Evanovich
Mariachi Meddler by D. R. Ransdell
I was wandering around the Tucson Festival of Books last month when I was greeted by a great smile. Next thing I knew I had a book in my hand and an interesting conversation. Well, I finally got a chance to read that book and boy am I glad I responded to that smile. D. … Continue reading Mariachi Meddler by D. R. Ransdell
