As If By Magic

This is the third Jack Haldean 1920 Historial Mystery. George Lassiter, an old WWI Flying mate of Private Investigator Jack Haldean, breaks into a house, he believes he owns. Suppssedly empty, instead he hears voices. Sounds like the murder of a woman. Leaving quietly was his intentions, only to be arrested and accused of attempted burglary.
Why he was there and who owns the house, he tells his friend Jack Haldean, who comes to his aid. Jack investigates and discovers owners of the house are relatives of George. With all probability, instigated this bizarre plot to steal George out of his bequest. As Jack investigates further, he begins to suspect something else is going on.
This is a fast pace whodunit. This is not another WWI story, this is a historial mystery that gives you a reality sense of London just after WWI.

COMING UP....
Peace, Love and Murder
Nancy Holzner
Five Star, August 31, 2009
97815947753
This is a interesting whodunit, with Bo Forrester, the main character. Raised by gentle parents grew up in a commune, given the name "Rain bow". When Bo reached the age of 18, he had to leave the commune, so he joined the army. Two years later, he comes home and finds the commune no longer exists in Rhodes, New York. It is now a subdivision. To make matters worse, no one seems to know where his parents went, except somewhere out west. Driving a cab while seeking info on his parents, he runs into a bit of trouble.
Being accused of murder, sets out to find out who did the deed with the help of a usual love interest. I enjoyed this one and look forward to a sequel, with Bo heading out west to track his parents.
Beloved Vampire

This is the latest Joey W. Hill, who is known for vampire thrillers. Beloved Vampire is the story of a human servant, Jessica, who kills a master vampire and is to be executed. According to the ruling Vampire Council, no Master vampire is to be killed by his servant, and get away with it. Doesn't matter how evil and cruel the Master vampire. Filled with action and who comes to her aid, makes this a fast pace entry in a great vampire saga.

What's Next...
Sweet Restraint
Beth Kery
Berkley Heat, July 2009
9780425227695
With the twists, turns, suspense and of course, romance, this will be hard to put down. Sweet Restraint joins the other two books by Beth Kery as a "keep turning the page", kinda book. Shane Dominic, a special agent in Chicago, hasn't been able to stop thinking about the woman that left him to marry some one else. Shane is finding it difficult to stop loving Laura Vasquez. A women, he loves with every ounce of his being, for over 13 years. Things could not get any more drama filled when the husband is a prime suspect in a global theft ring thaat Shane is investigating.
The two main characters, Shane Dominic and Laura Vasquez are strong, straight as an arrow personalities, with a hint of life experiences and suspicion. Is she telling him the truth? Can he be trusted? Romance suspense is my favorite genre and this one is a page turner. An erotic emotionally gripping adventure, deserving a spot on your 'to read' list.

Am amusing romatic suspense thriller filled with plenty of high seas action. Jenner Redwine, discovers how life with family and friends changed after she won the lottery. This is Linda Howard at her best. I was kinda slow in picking this one up, but I am glad I did. It was a fun book and the spins and twists of who kidnaps who made this an enjoyable thriller.

Got A Doctor's Appointment?
Death of a Witch by MC Beaton
Grand Central Publishing
ISBN:13:978044619613-0
I always take a book with me when going to the Doctor or Dentist. I am not very patient when it comes to waiting, so a good book keeps me company and occupy my waiting time.
MC Beaton's Hamish Macbeth Mysteries fills the bill for me. A book that fits in my purse, a good story and interesting character. You don't have to start at the beginning, any book in the series is a stand a long. Reading older issues gives you insight into the lonely constable, Hamisch Macbeth. Death of a Witch is the latest, for the New York Times Bestselling Author.
Hamish returns to his beloved Scottish Village of Lochdubh, from a foreign holiday. Hamish gets word of magical powers, spell casting by a charming Catriona Beldame. He suspects she is dangersous to the small town, which the towns folk simply don't believe she is any type of threat. Eventhough, all the men are visiting her late at night.
A good book to read while we wait. I have been reading MC Beaton for many years and find her stories carefully thought out and creative. The pace of the book is part of the story line. It is a well crafted book.
