About the Books
NOW THERE WILL ALWAYS BE LOVE. AND … THERE WILL ALWAYS BE MURDER
For P.I. ferret Lee Alvarez first comes murder, then comes love, then comes marriage… and now Lee and her drop-dead gorgeous Navy SEAL groom Gurn Hanson are stumbling across bodies together.
…
This wryly romantic box set is a bonanza for fans of The Alvarez Family Murder Mysteries, featuring a full-length novel, Book 5 The CEO Came DOA, PLUS two novellas. Together they tell the story of the action-packed, homicide-solving week leading up to Lee and Gurn’s wedding followed by the too-eventful weeks in Kauai and their return home when they were supposed to be resting and relaxing. Not to mention romancing.
Lee and Gurn – think Nick and Nora Charles in Silicon Valley…with a Mexican flair – will delight fans of PI stories, cozy mysteries, and women sleuths, especially if they love sharp funny female protagonists like Sue Grafton’s witty Kinsey Millhone and Janet Evanovich’s lovable Stephanie Plum.

My Review
I received a free box set from The Alvarez Family Murder Mysteries series, Love Can Be Murder, including The CEO Came DOA, and two novellas, Marraige Can Be Murder, and Honeymoons Can Be Murder, by Heather Haven, from a newsletter which landed in my email.
In Lee Alverez, Haven has created a female Sherlock Holms, and her significant other, Gurn, becomes her Watson, as mystery, mayhem, and murder seem to find her wherever she goes in this series. In the Love Can Be Murder set, it finds her during a routine cybercrime investigation in the main story, The CEO Came DOA, (which is Book 8 in the series), on her honeymoon, and as a favor to her mother, in the two novellas, Honeymoons Can Be Murder and Marraige Can Be Murder.
Each of these stories hold their own, and could be read as a stand alone, but there are plenty of Easter Eggs hidden for those who read through in sequence to find. The characters are pleasant to spend time with, if a little too perfect at times, and the storylines carry an underlying humor, which makes them comical at times, and always entertaining.
The CEO Came DOA
A routine technology theft investigation turns into more than Lee Alvarez bargained for when she comes upon the apparent suicide of the company C.E.O. Something is off, the circumstances are strange, and Lee is determined to get to the bottom of it. But proving a murder and solving the who done it makes it difficult to prepare for a wedding and a honeymoon with the man she loves. To top things off, someone doesn’t want Lee to uncover the truth, and they’ll go to any length to stop her.
Honeymoons Can Be Murder
Ready for the three Rs: Rest, Relaxation, and Recuperation, Lee Alvarez and her new husband, Gurn, are off to a tropical paradise for their honeymoon after solving a harrowing case of technology theft which turned into murder. But murder follows Lee. She can’t seem to get away from it. And when a murdered woman is discovered outside their bungalow, her new husband is on the radar of the local law as the prime suspect. Lee and Gurn must stay one step ahead of the police, to discover who the real murderer is.
Marriage Can Be Murder
When a overly melodramatic former actress, who changes moods more than she does outfits, falls prey to a series of mysterious accidents, Lee Alverez and husband Gurn are called on to investigate the situation. The list of suspects includes her seven ex-husbands, as well as a her household staff, or perhaps her long lost daughter, who has recently appeared on the scene. While it appears the actress is quite generous, and everyone seems to love her, Lee and Gurn find eveidence that the accidents were not accidental, at all. It’s up to Lee and Gurn to discover who done it, and why, before the would be murderer succeeds.
The Box Set
This set of mystery stories, Love Can Be Murder, was a fun and entertaining read. Light and humorous storylines and likeable, diverse characters. I give Love Can Be Murder five quills.

Book Review: The Last Door
Posted: July 19, 2024 Filed under: Book Review, Books, Fiction, Mystery, Paranormal, Writing to be Read Leave a commentAbout The Last Door
When identical twins inherit a Victorian mansion from a stranger, the bequest changes everything they knew about their past.
The house at Herron Pond is no stranger to tragedy. Accidental death. A devastating fire. Suicide.
Are the reports of supernatural activity the persistent gossip of visitors and staff? Or are the chilling tales true?
Jessica Mack is not afraid of ghosts. She has been communicating with the spirit world since last year, when she was forced to surrender to her psychic gifts. Since then, she has used those gifts to help the FBI, and to answer voices from the Other Side asking for favors. Most of the requests are poignant — “tell my wife I’m sorry for the way I behaved.” “Let my son know I love him.”
But a dark presence lurks at the Victorian mansion, demanding more from her. Much more.
- Who was Vadim Evanov and why did he leave his entire estate to the twin sisters?
- Why was she warned not to enter the last door on the second-floor landing?
- Why does Beethoven’s wistful composition, Für Elise, keep haunting her?
Jessica’s visit to the Big Sur estate is a search for answers. She must uncover the truth before another catastrophe strikes Herron Pond — one that could end her life.

My Review
I received a free copy of The Last Door from Freebooksie. I offer honest reviews and the opinions stated in this review are my own.
The Last Door, by Sheila Lowe, is a paranormal mystery. Readers will have fun unraveling the truth right along with Jessica, the amature slueth. Jessica has the talents needed to unravel the mystery and uncover the answers, but it seems something, or someone, is determined to keep her from discovering the truth.
When a stranger leaves his entire estate to Jessica and her twin sister, Jenna, the identical twin sisters are certain there must be some mistake and when they see the Victorian mansion on Herron Pond, they are even more certain that is what must be the case. Or maybe it’s a scam. Why would a renowned Russian piano teacher leave everything to two people he’d never met?
Jessica hopes to learn the answer as she spends a week alone in the mansion. The house has a violent history, with mysterious accidents and spirits that cling to the physical location and some of them feel menacing. There are mysterious circumstances surrounding her benefactor’s death, and her psychic Spirit is trying to tell her something. The more she learns, the more questions she has, and it becomes obvious that all is not as it seems. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she feels she is in danger, but she’s determined to fnd the answers she seeks.
A perplexing mystery with plenty of paranormal activity and an engaging back story. I give The Last Door five quills.

Book Review: Blink
Posted: June 28, 2024 Filed under: Book Review, Books, Crime, Fiction, Hard-Boiled Crime Fiction, Mystery, Review, Writing to be Read 3 CommentsAbout Blink
When private investigator Andrew Schlakier receives a phone call out of the blue from State Corporate Affairs Mister Fix-it, Peter Michael, to investigate a case, he knows he’s going to be in for a harrowing time.
A mother and daughter have been tragically found dead in their car in a quiet Melbourne street. The finger of blame points to the husband, but with an iron-clad alibi there is simply no way he could have done it. Or is there?
It’s an increasingly dangerous game of cat and mouse, but as Schlakier delves more deeply into the case and endeavours to deconstruct the suspect’s story, it becomes less and less clear if he is the hunter or the prey.

My Review
I received a free digital copy of Blink on Freebooksie.
Blink, by Robert Blain is a good, old-fashioned detective story, where the P.I strives to solve what appears to be a perfect murder. The death of a mother and daughter from carbon monoxide poisoning, the husband/father has an air tight alibi, but something still seems off. The question isn’t who killed them, but how.
It’s a clever murder, and Andrew Schlakier is the clever P.I. who can solve it by uncovering the killer’s m.o. Schlakier is just your average bloke making a living as a private investigator, and finds himself in the path of danger as he gets closer to the truth. (Think an Australian James Rockford but without the humor). Like any good P.I., Schlakier doesn’t let that deter him, and he pushes forth, in spite of several close calls, until he has revealed all.
An average murder mystery with and average P.I. as the main character. The only remarkable thing is the clever murder method. I give Blink three quills.

Book Review: An Ear for Murder
Posted: May 17, 2024 Filed under: Book Review, Books, cozy mystery, Fiction, Mystery, Review | Tags: An Ear for Murder, Book Review, cozy mystery, Diane Weiner, Writing to be Read Leave a commentAbout the Book
Oboist Sara Baron agrees to cat sit for a childhood friend but instead of being greeted by a meowing fluff ball, she walks into a ransacked house and stumbles over her friend’s dead body. Frantic, she runs next door and enlists the help of a mysterious stranger who knows more than he admits. His charm, not to mention his deep chestnut eyes, is balanced by his guardedness, unexplained absences, and seemingly nonexistent past. Is he helping her expose the murderer, or covering his tracks? Meanwhile, Sara battles a career threatening affliction, and helps keep the family music business afloat all while looking for instrumental evidence to put the murderer behind bars.
Purchase Link: https://www.amazon.com/Murder-Sara-Baron-Tuned-Mystery-ebook/dp/B08716ZSSX/
My Review
An Ear for Murder, by Diane Weiner, is A Sara Baron Tuned in Mystery, which is to say the protagonist and ametuer slueth is a musician. This is a cute cozy in which the protagonist falls into the middle of a murder mystery and is driven to solve it. This one is slow paced as the clues are uncovered, but it contains plenty of climactic moments.
Sara Baron makes a visit to her hometown when an affliction threatens to end her career as an oboist. But the friend she is staying with is murdered, and Sara sets out to find out who did it, and why, throwing her into the killer’s sites. Who the killer is remains a mystery, and the list of suspects grows, as the tension rises as each strange occurance becomes more dangerous. Then there’s the mysterious next door neighbor guy whose strange behavior makes him suspect, even though she wants to believe he’s one of the good guys. If she’s wrong, it could mean her life.
An Ear for Music contains all the right notes to create a cozy mystery in the tune of murder. I give it four quills.

Book Review: River Bones
Posted: April 19, 2024 Filed under: Book Review, Books, Crime, Fiction, Mystery, Review, Suspense | Tags: Book Review, Crime Fiction, Mary Deal, mystery, River Bones, Suspense, Writing to be Read 10 CommentsAbout the Book
A serial killer is on the loose in Sacramento River Delta.
When Sara Mason returns to her hometown to start a new life, she learns that a murderer is terrorizing its residents. Despite battling difficult childhood memories, Sara is determined to make peace with her past.
But she soon learns that the elusive psychopath is now stalking her. Sara’s attempt to rebuild her life is hindered even more by the discovery of skeletal remains on her property. As the investigation focuses on several suspects, Sara discovers critical clues and bravely volunteers to be a decoy for the sheriff’s department.
Sara’s destiny has brought her back home, but will her decision lead her down a path lined with danger… and straight into the arms of a madman?
Purchase Link: https://www.amazon.com/River-Bones-Sara-Mason-Mysteries-ebook/dp/B076JDZJ8M/
My Review
The title and cover both drew me to this book, and I wasn’t disappointed. River Bones, by Mary Deal is a classic suspense thriller. This book carries a somber tone in setting and eerie feeling of mystery.
How many bones are hidden in the river’s depths? They are the bones of those who have been lost… and sometimes, they are found.
After many years away, the sale of the gaming software she developed sells and Sara returns to her hometown a wealthy woman. But there is a serial killer on the loose, which is unsetling to Sara but even moreso when dead bodies begin to turn up all around her. The human remains found on her property delays her restoration plans with police investigations, and it soon becomes clear that the killer is targeting Sara as his next victim.
Skillfully crafted and completely enthralling. I give River Bones five quills.

Book Review: The Body in the Attic
Posted: April 12, 2024 Filed under: Audio Books, Audiobook Review, Book Review, Books, Mystery, Review | Tags: Audiobook, Book Review, Devon Sorvari, Judi Lynn, mystery, The Body in the Attic, Writing to be Read 2 CommentsAbout the Book
Welcome to River Bluffs, Indiana, a cozy small town populated with charming homes, close-knit families, and the occasional deadly secret….
House-flipper Jazzi Zanders and her cousin Jerod have found their latest project. The property, formerly owned by the late Cal Juniper, is filled with debris that must be cleared before the real renovation begins. But a trip to the attic reveals something more disturbing than forgotten garbage – a skeleton wearing a locket and rings that Jazzi recognizes….
Tests confirm that the bones belong to Jazzi’s aunt Lynda, who everyone assumed moved to New York years ago after breaking up with Cal. Soon enough, the whole family is involved, sifting through memories and rumors as they try to piece together what really happened to Lynda – and the baby she gave up for adoption. In between investigating and remodeling, Jazzi is falling for the old house’s charms – and for her gorgeous contractor, Ansel. But with surprises lurking in every nook and cranny, a killer might be waiting to demolish her dreams for good….

My Review
I listened to the audiobook of The Body in the Attic, by Judi Lynn, and narrated by Devon Sorvari. I was drawn to this book by the title, and found the story to be well written, with all the makings of a good mystery, but I had difficulty with the narration, which often seemed just a little off, without proper inflection. The story was good enough to keep me listening through to the end, in spite of this, but each time an inflection was off, it pulled me out of the story.
When a body is found in a trunk in the attic of a house Jazzi is flipping, it solves the 30 year old mystery of why her aunt disappeared, but it opens up a new one. Who killed her? When a second, newer body is found on the property, it opens even more questions which need to be answered, especially when the two murders appear to be connected. While digging up the facts about her aunt’s disappearance, Jazzi uncovers the clues that will solve both mysteries, with the aid of a very helpful detective who, for some reason, shares the information on the case with her freely and takes her with him to confront the witnesses. (Okay, I admit, I had a hard time suspending disbelief on that one.)
A good mystery story, with less than perfect narration. I give The Body in the Attic three quills.

Book Review: Georgie Shaw Cozy Mystery Novellas 1-3
Posted: February 23, 2024 Filed under: Book Review, Books, cozy mystery, Fiction, Mystery, Review | Tags: All Hallows Eve Heist, Anna Celeste Burke, Book Review, Love Notes in the Key of Sea, Murder at Catmmando Mountain, The Georgie Shaw Cozy Mystery Series, Writing to be Read Leave a commentAbout the Books
When Georgie and Jack met it was love, and murder, at first sight. Middle-aged and in upper management at a Disneyesque entertainment empire, Georgie knows Marvelous Marley World isn’t always so marvelous. As a police detective, Jack Wheeler knows how to solve crimes. Together Georgie and Jack make a formidable team of crime fighters.
Join Georgie, Jack, and two delightful Siamese cats, Miles and Ella, as they solve the first three mysteries in this award-winning, bestselling series.
Included in the Box Set:
Murder at Catmmando Mountain
Love Notes in the Key of Sea
All Hallows’ Eve Heist
Purchase Link: https://www.amazon.com/Georgie-Shaw-Cozy-Mystery-Novellas-ebook/dp/B071GDK9SG/
My Review
I read The Georgie Shaw Cozy Mystery Series: Novellas 1-3, by Anna Celeste Burke: Mystery at Catmmando Mountain, Love Notes in the Key of Sea, and All Hallows’ Eve Heist. These three novelas come packeged together on Amazon, and I recieved a free copy of the set through a newsletter of some sort. It pays to have those newsletters in my email when I’ve wrapped up my reviews for the year and am looking for new stuff to read and review for the coming new year.
The cover above, however, isn’t the cover that caught my eye, and frankly, I don’t know if I would have downloaded the one with the cats. After reading the set, I have to say that all though the cats are a cute edition to this already kind of cutsie series, they do not play an integral part in solving mysteries, so I see the above cover as a ploy to draw in cat lovers, but it is a bit misleading. The digital book I chose to download featured a cover with a dark haired woman with a bob haircut and sunglasses appearing from behind a corner or a wall, (I’m doing this from memory. I don’t currently have the book in front of me), offering a mysterious, yet playful, tone representative of the cozy mysteries inside, and showcasing our amatuer slueth, as should be.
Georgie Shaw is a dynamic character who doesn’t like confrontation, loves cooking and food, owns two cats, and can’t turn away when things don’t add up and there’s a puzzle to solve, and her character is what carries these three cozy tales. For me, Jack and the cats were just sidebars which made the stories move more smoothly. But cover notwithstanding, these cozies are just plain fun to read. They are quirky, to be sure, and maybe even a little bit silly, but there was a smile on my face as I read each one.
It’s difficult to review the plots for mysteries without giving away spoilers, but I’ll give it a shot.
Murder at Catmmando Mountain
When the boss’ daughter is found murdered at the base of Catmmando Mountain, there is a mystery to solve, and Georgie Shaw is just the one to solve it. But 2 + 2 doesn’t add up to 4 in the the wacky world of Marvelous Marley World amusement park, where pets are welcome to enjoy the fun along with their owners. With Detective Jack Wheeler, Georgie works to uncover the clues until they add up to a mystery solved.
Love Notes in the Key of Sea
When she goes back with Jack to the beach where she was attacked and her fiance murdered, a song written especially for Georgie by her first love who died is the first clue that something is amiss in this cozy mystery. I tending to lend moral support to a friend in a similar situation, Georgie hadn’t planned on investigating a crime of the past which stirs up old ghosts.
All Hallow’s Eve Heist
All heck breaks loose at Marvelous Marley World once again, with active shooters in the park, during the big Halloween bash, when everyone is in costume. Georgie Shaw quickly sets to work figuring out who they are, where they are, and what they’ll do next. Once those pieces of the mystery are solved, she and Jack can solve the why and nab the bad guys.
All three of these cozies are a fun ride on the mystery rollercoaster. Light and witty, I give The Georgie Shaw Cozy Mystery Series: Novellas 1-3 five quills.

Book Review: A Cry in the Dark
Posted: January 19, 2024 Filed under: Audio Books, Book Review, Fiction, Mystery | Tags: A Cry in the Dark, Book Review, Denise Grover Swank, mystery, Shannon McManus, Writing to be Read 2 CommentsAbout the Book
When doing the right thing goes horribly wrong…
Caroline Blakely is certain of two things: She was happy with her life as a first grade school teacher, and she can never, ever return to it.
After discovering a shocking truth about her father, the wealthy businessman at the helm of Blakely Oil, she’s on the run – a difficult feat given her father’s endless resources and connections.
With the help of friends, Carly is able to secure a new identity, but her attempts to keep a low profile are blown to bits when she gets stuck in Drum, Tennessee. When she investigates a cry in the parking lot outside her motel room, she finds herself the lone witness to a murder.
Stranded in the small Appalachian Mountain town, she soon realizes that Drum is as riddled with secrets as her own past. A huge chunk of the intrigue centers around the Drummond family, ancestors of the town’s founders, and their oldest son, Wyatt – an ex-con.
She knows she’d do best to stay away from the Drummonds, especially Wyatt, and from the mystery she’s stumbled upon, but Carly’s sense of right and wrong demands that she help, even if it means risking her own secrets…and her life.

My Review
I listened to the audiobook, A Cry in the Dark, by Denise Grover Swank, narrated by Shannon McManus. The narration was lovely and Miss McManus did a lovely job of portraying the diffferent characters in distinguishable ways.
The story itself is a well-crafted tale of a woman on the run getting caught up in the events of the town she is temporarily stranded in when her car breaks down. Landing a temporary job while her car is being repaired seems like a landfall of good luck at first, but when a young boy is murdered outside her motel room, landing her right in the middle of a mystery in a town filled with intrigue, Carly begins to wonder. Although she’s running to save her life, Carly is compelled to carry out the dying boy’s wishes to take a message to Seth’s grandfather, setting aside her own problems and the fact that the killers may know she was there. But with the message delivered, she finds herself embedded even deeper into the town and the mystery of who killed the boy, and it is only a matter of time before someone in this town recognizes her as tries to cash in the reward that’s offered for her. In a town full of strangers, Carly doesn’t know who she can trust or who to turn to, but she’s determined to get justice for Seth.
A thoroughly entertaining mystery which will grab a reader’s attention and not let go. I give A Cry in the Dark five quills.

Book Review: “The Town Santa Forgot”
Posted: December 12, 2023 Filed under: Book Review, Books, Fantasy, Fiction, Holidays, Humor, Mystery, Review, Short Fiction | Tags: Book Review, Christmas fiction, DL Mullan, Fantasy, mystery, The Town That Santa Forgot, Writing to be Read 8 CommentsAbout the Book
In the small town of Saguaro Hill, Arizona, there is an ongoing history-mystery as to why Santa has never visited. Children have never received a single gift for the Yuletide holidays since the town’s establishment in 1888.
The public librarian, Rachel George, is tasked by Mayor Higgins to research the urban legend and discover the real reason why Santa has never flown over, let alone stepped foot, in their village.
Rumors abound, but are there any facts to this case?
Or, will Santa remain a no-show for the ages?
Rachel is determined to find out the truth as to why she lives in The Town Santa Forgot.
Purchase Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQDK1RPD
My Review
The Town Santa Forgot, by DL Mullan a short story which reads like a classic Christmas mystery. This is the kind of heart warming tale you want to read with your family, sitting around the tree, with a fire warming the hearth.
Rachel George is the head librarian in Seguaro Hills, Arizona, dubbed the town that Santa forgot. It was named so because Santa Clause hasn’t visited this town for over a century. No one knows why Santa has neglected them, but despite being left off Santa’s GPS, the town maintains their Christmas spirit in hopes that someday he will return. It falls on Rachel to find out why Santa has forgotton Seguaro and save Christmas, but she must dig deep into the town’s history to solve the mystery.
A tale that will tickle the whole family’s fancies. The perfect holiday gift, but would be fun to read year round. As with most Christmas stories, this one is filled with love and hope. I give The Town Santa Forgot five quills.
