Meeting Natasha Again, for the Very First Time
In Christy Tillery French's THE BODYGUARD, we meet our feisty, loveable, wacky heroine, Natasha Chamberlain, for the very first time. That is, of course, unless you are like me and are reading this series in reverse order. By some strange cosmic joke, I received the third book first and the first book last, but do you know what? It just doesn't matter. The books in Ms. French's Bodyguard ...

Go Virginia
I have read the other two Virginia Davies mysteries and liked them. This is probably the best Virginia Davies mystery yet. Her spunk, style and hard driving really come to play. She goes headlong into heart stopping action. Her humor is not lost. The ending caused me to stay up and finish it instaed of going to bed on time. The descriptions and charactors are good. You can't help but fell what ...

This book cannot be put down, in any sense of the term
One of the great benefits of having friends who read is that there is a tremendous give and take of book recommendations. Sometimes you're thrusting books into their hands, other times they're thrusting books into yours. And being the "thruster" is equally enjoyable to being the "thrustee." This, of course, is true of other activities as well, but that is a topic for another place and another ...

Duck Blood Soup

MD Joseph Molea

Mystery and Suspense Press, 2002

A powerfully stunning novel of life-changing potential
Duck Blood Soup is the rarest of novels, one that grabs you by the lapels on page one, shakes you back and forth in an increasingly frenzied manner as you frantically turn one page after another, and leaves you changed by the whole gripping experience. This is more than just a remarkably good read, however - it is a shocking warning about the dangers of addiction. Dr. Molea has devoted his life ...

A Cozy Mystery
The writers club is packed with drama and mystery. The story of four writers who form a writers club, and whose lives intertwine throughout the book, each with a mystery to deal with and culminate at the end. I particularily liked the story of Belle Larson in 'The Weekend'. It had me riveted. This is a great book by Christine Collier.

Mount Dora - Crime Center of the South.....
Mount Dora is a sleepy lakeside community outside bustling Orlando, far away from the big mouse and screaming rides, and is known more for antiques than crime. My most personal memory of Mount Dora is a wonderful, sleepy day of drinking far too many Dos Equis at the Mexican restaurant while celebrating Cinco de Mayo, years ago. In contrast, author Cook takes you along with Brandy O'Bannon, an ...

Great murder mystery!
I picked up this book because someone I know, is a friend of the author. After it sat on my dresser for a month, I picked it up and started reading. I immediately got sucked into the story and couldn't put it down. Following the clues with Randa (the detective) I had a fun time trying to figure out who commited the murder. By the end I had high hopes for Randa, and I wanted a happy ending! I ...
