Political Murders

I’ve avoided blogging about anything political recently because the situation in the United States is so volatile these days. However, the recent shooting of Charlie Kirk is one more act of gun violence in a long list. Let me add this disclaimer right off the bat.

“Her Deception” M.M.Mayfield

I enjoy a book that takes me by surprise, and Her Deception by M.M. Mayfield fits the bill. From the first page when Patrice Strickland overhears her husband, Hugh, order a “hit” the story takes off, and the action and suspense continue throughout. Patrice wasn’t always the prim and proper wife of philanthropist Hugh Strickland. In order to work her way through college, she worked … Continue reading “Her Deception” M.M.Mayfield
