Lethal Fortune

 

Lethal Fortune (Jake Wolfe Thrillers, #9)Lethal Fortune by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In today’s sensational world, how do you write a plot that has the sensitivity and beauty of a winery and the danger of people who thrive on cruelty, and somehow make it seem almost romanceful? I think it reads that way to us because we need a hero now and then, a good person. That is, most of all, what Lethal Fortune is about.

It is a special author who keeps you eagerly waiting for a new book in a series. Nolan has done that again. His stories and his plots are attention-getters. His settings of open seas and high-tech boats make me wish I were there each time. But it is his characters that keep me coming back. I’m dying to know what they are up to. What will Jake be doing? Are he and Sarah still together, and more than anything, is Cody ok?

Words To Think Or To Sing

 


Have you ever wondered how your favorite songs really began?

Not with the words, not with the melody, but with a feeling.

Becoming a vision, becoming lines, becoming a complete piece of sonorous truth meant to be shared to unite people who resonate with it.

A mystical, fascinating process you can now be part of.

All or None

 

Returning to Sydney, Detective Ramesh Ryan is promoted to the Homicide Squad. Zoe Yang joins him there. Now a detective herself, she is assigned as his junior partner. Straight up, the cops are off and running—investigating the discovery of a murdered company director. Following the clues, Detective Ryan finds that this and a second murder may be linked to past events.

 

As the pressure mounts for a quick solution to the case, the detective finds that he too, is in the killer’s crosshairs. But Ryan is distracted from the investigation by a romantic encounter with an old university friend. He also worries about his mother, Mumta, and her new obsessive desire for grandchildren from her only son. Could this be linked to her recent medical tests? And there’s another pressing problem—the plague of rats in his apartment block.

 

Detective Ryan’s hands are well and truly full.

Swept Away

 

Swept Away: A McLaren MysterySwept Away: A McLaren Mystery by Jo A. Hiestand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With all of the cameras and populated areas in today’s world, it doesn’t really seem possible someone could vanish. But it happens, doesn’t it? This time it happened on a beautiful beach on a gorgeous island. And it happened to the wife of one of McLaren’s old friends, one he hadn’t seen for years.

In Swept Away, Jo Hiestand has McLaren traveling to Bow Island. A vacation place, really. The kind that has trips for tourists, biking, sailing, even a pirate museum. Bow Island is a place that Dan and his wife, Ellie, have gone to often, although it is really Ellie who is the pirate enthusiast. Actually, her interests seem to lie more in the businesses that men own. At least it seems to be mostly men that McLaren finds Ellie spent her time with, men other than Dan, that is. So, did she run away, hide so she could be with one of her many “friends”? Did she drown, or was one of them jealous and made sure she got caught in a cave? Was she burgled, maybe pirated away? McLaren feels quite stumped throughout his work on the case. Hiestand makes it just as difficult for us to figure out who, if anyone, did away with Ellie.

There’s plenty of the author’s descriptive writing here, so you picture the pirate caves and enjoy the island. Her ability to help you become friends with her characters winds throughout.

But this mystery is so well-thought-out that you tend to lose the sense that the author thought of it all. It’s as if her character, former police detective Michael McLaren, has laid it out step by step as a good detective would. That mesh of “was it the character or the author” is her innate ability to make you know her characters, let them absorb you into the story. For me, characters are a huge draw to my enjoyment of a book. This one is a winner.

1833 Brothers & Sisters

 


A peek into the Underground Railroad and the tumultuous period before the American Civil War.

 

In 1833 Philadelphia, the northern states of America were changing, and not everyone was keen on altering the status quo. Black slaves were being freed, and new slaves were no longer allowed.

 

But the southern states didn't always agree. Natives were being thrown out of their homes for living too close to gold, and escaped black slaves were being hunted down. Jesse Eastman controls the affluent Eastman Empire and frees a former slave, his half-sister Georgina. But some family members don't like it.

 

When an estranged brother gets the idea to let a ruthless gang of property buyers initiate a takeover, all hell breaks loose.

 

1833 Brothers & Sisters will pull you into an old western-style family saga, filled with greed, marital love, family conflict, and smoking gun shootouts
