Missing in the Smokies – Polly Melton

Great Smoky Mountain National Park begins the transition to fall in September. Soon the leaves would blaze into bright colors of red, orange, and gold.

Three Books

Books have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father read to me at bedtime from when I was very young, even after I could read. He didn’t confine the stories to popular fairy tales. Yes, there were Little Golden Books. But there was also “Alice in Wonderland”, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, and Sherlock Holmes stories. … Continue reading Three Books

“Gothikana” by RuNyx

I recently had two things happen that drew me to read this book. First, while at the West Virginia Book Festival, I met an author whose genre was ‘dark romance’. I had never heard of this sub-genre previously and put it on my list of authors to investigate. Later, in the same week, I visited my daughter and her family in Morgantown, West Virginia. Knowing … Continue reading “Gothikana” by RuNyx

Going Hunting

There’s nothing I enjoy more than a well written suspense filled thriller. Even if I suspect where the story is headed, if the writing is good, I’m all in. “Going Hunting”, another bite size offering from Paul White, fits that description. Once again, this author artfully develops his main character. Our nameless central figure appears to be “Everyman”. In today’s busy world where most of … Continue reading Going Hunting

A good psychological thriller that’s so well written you can’t set it down is like a gift from the gods of literature.

The Girl on the Bridge: A McCabe and Savage Thriller (McCabe and Savage Thrillers Book 5) by James Hayman

Although this is the fifth book in the McCabe and Savage series by James Hayman, it is the first one I read. I was attracted to The Girl on the Bridge by the blurb. Let me say up front, this book is better than the blurb indicates. The prologue does an excellent job of developing the character of Hannah Reindel, the girl who apparently commits … Continue reading The Girl on the Bridge: A McCabe and Savage Thriller (McCabe and Savage Thrillers Book 5) by James Hayman

“He Will Find You: A nail-biting and emotional psychological suspense for 2018” by By Diane Jeffrey

As I have often said, I am not a fan of books with subtitles that tout the story within. It seems to have become a popular way to grab prospective readers’ attention. That being said, the blurb for He Will Find You was enticing enough to encourage me to give it a read.             Let me say from the beginning that author Diane Jeffrey does … Continue reading “He Will Find You: A nail-biting and emotional psychological suspense for 2018” by By Diane Jeffrey
