In the Introduction John Shirley explains that Holmes mentions that his chronicler Watson had a second wife (see The Adventures of the Blanched Soldier) whom he was married to in January 1903. Using that footnote Mr. Shirley provides the Baker Street crowd with a wonderful collection in which Amelia ...

The Bible of Service Dog Training
Fantastic book for those who want to train their own service dog. I trained two catahoula leopard dogs as service dogs with help from this book. As anyone who knows catahoulas will agree, they are rather hardheaded. With the excellent advice from this book, I was able to educate two young dogs into being reliable workers, one of whom saved my life twice. This edition goes into common service ...

While I enjoy genealogical mysteries, I could not get into this book. In my opinion, there are better choices out there for the money.

As the book progresses through the various stories, we head from Sunset's origins at Union Station in downtown L.A. toward its terminus at the Pacific Ocean. Especially notable are Dale Furutani's "Extreme Prejudice," about more than one kind of "extreme" prejudice in Los ...

Joyce Spizer

Top Publications, 2001

Not your typical true crime
Joyce Spizer is the only writer who could possibly makes us feel outrage on behalf of a monster. How does she accomplish this? By showing us the failings in the justice system and the social supports and the schools that could have prevented the deaths of the 70 people of which Glen Rogers has killed, that we know about. Joyce's most shocking revelation is not that Glen may be the one who ...

fun book that is relevant today
As opposed to a lot of mystery/spy books, I found this one to have both an interesting story and a realistic heroine (Patrice). I've read a little about what Los Alamos was like back in the Manhattan Project days and it was nice to read a story set there today. Times have changed a lot but it's still an interesting place and a great setting for intrigue. While reading the novel, I couldn't ...

Carl Brookins

Top Publications, 2000

A Worthy Mystery
Brookins' first book is a success. He follows the mystery genre's rules, and it works for him. There's early murder (Michael Tanner's wife and a friend), a well-defined and likable character in conflict (Tanner), a beautiful setting (the Inner Passage), a premise he can write knowledgeably about (sailing), love interest (Mary Whitney), and a smoothly rendered plot. The straight forward, no ...

One heck of an Mystery!
Brookins has a flair for taking readers into the thick of things. The old deceptions, bad blood, and fresh wounds of "Old Silver" make for an outstanding romp of an adventure. The unique story blends well with the dark intrigue and lets the reader experience the best of both. Who doesn't wonder at the thought of lost treasure and dream of one day finding it? Exceptional characters pull you ...

Expect the unexpected
Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (7/07) "Cactus Island" is part of the "Stan Turner Mystery" series. It was the first one that I have read in this series. I enjoyed it so much; I am looking forward to going back and catching up on the other ones. It starts out as a suspenseful mystery. I can't say murder mystery because in one case, the death is suspicious and in the other case, ...
