Then, the music starts and you get the “Don’t Dream It, Be It” swimming pool … More The Havoc Tree, by Layden Robinson
Sportswriter Jim Caple has written a sentimental and at times whimsical fiction story (certainly inspired by true events) about a WWII veteran at the end of his life, seeking closure. Roy, a 91-year-old former Navigator for B-24 bombers during the war, is wracked by an unknowing guilt about whether bombs his plane dropped near … More The Navigator, by Jim Caple

It’s very short on suspense or mystery. The reader knows everything in the first few chapters – the hired killer … More Winter Song (Seasons Pass, book #1) by Susan C. Muller
Author David Myles Robinson can write a legal mystery in which the plot is intriguing, the writing is excellent, and the law is accurately depicted. This is quite a triumvirate, which few authors do well. Courtroom scenes are inherently dramatic. Making a deposition scene good reading without making it a mockery of how real law … More Tropical Doubt, by David Myles Robinson
I’m a big fan of Sara Paretsky and a big fan of her heroine, V.I. Warshawski. Dead Land, however, is not the best installment in the series. The author tells us that this is the first book she has written without the support of her now-deceased husband. Perhaps that partially explains why this book was … More Dead Land (A V.I.Warshowski novel), by Sara Paretsky

This book, and this series, has a lot to offer fans of police/FBI procedurals. I picked up this book during a free download offer and I was happy to discover a new author whose books I can now look forward to reading.

The story is a fictionalized, but still very true to history, depiction of one of the main cogs in the Manhattan Project (or the Manhattan Engineering District, the code … More The Oppenheimer Alternative, by Robert J. Sawyer
