MANUFACTURING DELUSION




MANUFACTURING

DELUSION

BUCK SEXTON

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

As you know, I'm an ex-Green Beret Operations and Intelligence Specialist (Vietnam Veteran) and a graduate of the JFK Warfare Center. I believe Mr. Sexton has described the world as it is today. Using historical data on how people react to psychological manipulation, he outlines the stepping stones to how people are swayed into a delusional mindset.

He describes how past civilizations, including current ones, often show instances where humans have bowed to a small group's ideology, resulting in nations or small groups being controlled, believing nonsense. Brainwashing and indoctrination are spread through propaganda on many levels, which the left uses constantly.

Buck Sexton's nonfiction is well written, so anyone with a cognitive mind will understand and enjoy his narrative. Those on the left of the Democratic Party in the USA, Muslim countries, and places like Iran and Cuba will condemn this book as fantasy.

Read MANUFACTURING DELUSIONS and decide for yourself.

A HIGH PRICE TO PAY


A HIGH PRICE 
TO PAY

CYNTHIA HAMILTON

Review by Author Roy Murry

 


Madeline (Maddie), a P.I./Party planner, is caught up in an unconventional cluster of murder and thievery. As a party planner, she is hobnobbing with the Hollywood elite by overseeing a birthday party for the unhinged wife of a famous director.

Maddie Dawkins and her partner, Mike, try to unravel the crimes using clean police procedures, while dealing with a psychopath who is possessed with Madeline. It all comes to a head in a thrilling event that will leave the reader wanting more from the series.

This is the second book in the Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series; however, an avid mystery reader like me would have figured out a key point early on. Nevertheless, all readers of mysteries will be entertained to the end of this character-driven novel.

I liked the characters and the plot, and will return to read another in this eleven-book series.

A Cat's Garden of Secrets




A CAT'S GARDEN OF SECRETS

JACQUELINE DIAMOND

Review by Author Roy Murry

 


"Cat's" is a quirky journey into another world adjacent to California, where the main character, nineteen-year-old Chess Vevoda, travels through fog to Loobly. This land has magick in every endeavor, where the cats talk to each other, and Chess learns this quickly.

Chess has been brought to Loobly by a self-controlling car to claim an inheritance due to her grandmother's death, but many contest it. There is a question as to how her powerful grandmother died.

With her close family and friends, Ms. Vevoda embarks on a turbulent journey to clarify the situation. Control of a library of historical importance is at the heart of the Loobly society and part of the inheritance.

The reader will enjoy the colorful circumstances of this story, which is more of a fantasy than a cozy mystery. When the epilogue begins, the mystery is solved, and the reader will be content purchasing another of Ms. Diamond's fun novels about cats.

HEALED BY LOVE

HEALED BY LOVE

MELISSA FOSTER

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Ms. Forster's excellent writing is a romance addict's delight. She takes two people, Jewel and Nate, and puts them in a position of mental conflict even though they had feelings for each other since childhood.

There is a rollercoaster ride of emotions with family and friends, who take the place of a psychiatrist. Everywhere Nate and Jewel go, they are reminded of their personal blockage in taking the leap of love.

When it happens, romance readers will be content and most likely buy the second book in this 'Love in Bloom' series. HEALED BY LOVE hits all the pleasures of a Book 1 in a series: multiple family characters, open doors to other romances, and the harbor setting.

THE QUEST OF COSMIC JUSTICE



THE QUEST FOR COMIC JUSTICE

THOMAS SOWELL

Review by Author Roy Murry

I have read several of Mr. Sowell's endeavors interpreting the world around us. QUEST, even though it was written in 2002, explains many of the conflicts the USA is facing today without mentioning any global event.

The author explains how Comic differs from Social and Actual Justice in decision-making by intellectuals and governments. These conflicts drive our societies forward, whether for good or bad.

Thomas Sowell delves into many areas with ease; the wording flows without getting into intellectual mumbo jumbo. The reader will understand his explanations without stretching the mind.

A book for the Inquisitive Mind.

A BODY ON THE DOORSTEP



A BODY ON THE DOORSTEP

London Ladies Murder Club Book 1

Marty Wingate

Review by Author Roy Murry



Miss Mabel Canning, a Renaissance woman of the 1920s, has moved from her small town to London. She has taken up residence and has employment at a service agency, Useful Women.

Her first mundane job for the agency is to help at the wake of a wealthy man. She opens the front door, and a non-guest is lying dead with a letter for the widow.

What happens next is Miss Canning going from one job to another while snooping. Mable's and the other main characters are woven into an interesting mystery that leads to a sensitive conclusion.

Wingate's writing is crisp, well-developed, and flows quickly. The characters fill the bill as a Book 1 lead-in to an enjoyable historical series.

A Vampire Vigilante

Justice Novel

ELIZABETH MONTANO

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Vampires, faes, witches, warlocks, and demons from the underworld. Who could ask for more? No one who enjoys this genre.

I read this for my fans and was surprised to find that I enjoyed the main character, Sahara, and the storyline, unlike in other vampire novels I have read. She is a no-frills, gorgeous, kick-ass Vampire P.I, who has a human side.

There is the beginning of a love story with a male client who takes orders from Sahara like a recruit because he wants her to find the killer of his twin brother. The client has hidden talents; he and Sahara's witch friend provide helpful assistance in the search.

A serial killer is loose from the underworld. Sahara and her entourage have a plan that sends the story into a whirlwind, leading to a conclusion any reader of the Vampire Genre will love.
