As you know, I get a lot of books. I pick them up all over the place, authors and publicists send them to me, friends refer, other bloggers share. I am not sure where I picked this one up, but it has been sitting on the to-read shelf for a while (maybe 2 years). It … Continue reading Hippie Hollow: Murder on a Nude Beach: A B.B.

Detective Murphy Murphy, who works in the Department of … Continue reading Murphy, Murphy: And the Case of Serious Crisis by Keith Hirshland

The other night as I got into bed to do my before sleep reading, I was faced with this “Two of them were just babies.
