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
Gone On Sunday – A Cotton Lee Penn Historical Mystery by Tower Lowe
Being a recent transplant to the south (arrived 30 years ago) I enjoyed the look into Southern Culture that this book gives both from 1932 and 1972. The book covers two murders, 40 years apart. Bead Baker in 1932 and her granddaughter Little Mary in 1972 – both women have been severally beaten. There is … Continue reading Gone On Sunday – A Cotton Lee Penn Historical Mystery by Tower Lowe
The Far Empty by J. Todd Scott
This was a 5 Star gem hiding on my "to be read" shelf. Way back in April of 2016, I was attending the Texas Library Association Conference and heard a panel of speakers who then gave the audience a copy of their books. The copy I have is an Advanced Reader and has the cover … Continue reading The Far Empty by J. Todd Scott
The Darling Dahlias and the Unlucky Clover #7 by Susan Wittig Albert
This book is the seventh in the series but the first one of the series that I have read. I had the good fortune of receiving an Advance Reader Copy (there was a happy dance at the mailbox – and it’s a community shared box so there may have been talk). I have read a … Continue reading The Darling Dahlias and the Unlucky Clover #7 by Susan Wittig Albert
Moriarty Meets His Match (Professor & Mrs. Moriarty Mystery Book 1) by Anna Castle
I admit that I am a bit of a Sherlock Holmes fan. Not a serious die hard fan but more of a fan of the spin off books like the Mary Russell series by Laurie King. So, when I saw this book, I was intrigued but cautious and packed it into my kindle for a … Continue reading Moriarty Meets His Match (Professor & Mrs. Moriarty Mystery Book 1) by Anna Castle
