BOOKED FOR MURDER

BOOKED FOR MURDER

C. M. SUTTON

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

BOOKED reminded me of the TV's DRAGNET (1967 to 1970), a police procedural series. Yes, I am that old. Look up Jack Webb's work.

Chicago's Detective McCord is put in a position to find the killer of his friend's mother. This one murder turns into a tailspin, with the executioner going wild and leading the homicide department around in circles.

McCord follows procedures, informing the reader, and has a hunch leading to a deadly conclusion. Reading the events will keep the reader engaged.

The prose is as snapping as Webb's DRAGNET. The pages will keep changing to a satisfying end.

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

UNLOCKING WELLNESS is not a book to read and forget. The reader needs to be open-minded and curious, reviewing chapters to get clarity.

Although Ms. Legault promotes Yoga as a cure-all, most of her dissertation revolves around the mind to physical control of one's health. She delves into affirmation, exercise, and nutrition that leads to a healthy life.

"So, what is the mind-body link? Simply put, it is an incredible bridge between your emotions, thoughts, and physical health." Ms. Legault believes each person can develop a way to reach that goal.

Sara Legault outlines many ways to reach wellness, using her facts and stories of people who have. This book may be an essential, well-written read if you care about your life.

Review of MURDER by THE CUP

Murder by the Cup

LeDoux Mystery, Book 1

ABIGAIL LYNN THORNTON

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

CUP is a cozy mystery where the characters shine. The main character, Wynona LeDoux, is a witch with no powers and has a purple mouse as a sidekick - she reads tea leaves.

The police chief is a vampire who needs his blood coffee to get him going in the morning. His deputy is a wolf shifter and one of Wynona's suitors. The Chef is a gnome, and other strange people live in Hex Haven.

The Pastry Chef, who is hired to fill Wynona's Tea Shop with delights, is killed in her shop while she is home in bed. It was another gnome, but they all think it is the Chef.

The police chief puts the crime on Wynona, and from this point, she becomes an investigator at the disdain of the chief. Their battle to find the truth is in her favor because she has powers unknown to her and her Rich Presidential Witch Family.

CUP ends in a flaming battle with the murderer, who is known only to Wynona.

Review of SOCIAL JUSTICE FALLACIES

SOCIAL JUSTICE FALLACIES

TOMAS SOWELL

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

I am neither an intellectual elite nor a full-blown conservative. Mr. Sowell is an intellectual conservative who writes convincing arguments against fleeting progressives on their fallacies of Equal chances, Racial differences, and the other pigeonhole placements of humanity.

FALLACIES is a thesis on how the wealthy and intellectual elite (UN, WHO, and WEF, three) vanguard manipulates humanity to believe and follow their dictates. Fifty percent of it has footnotes, clarifying Sowell's thoughtful positions.

Whether you agree with his stand on racial fallacy progression, as an example, the reader will have a hard time disagreeing with his opinion. This well-written and thought-provoking book is for the Inquisitive Mind, which many of my readers have.

If you want to clear the cobwebs out of your mind and think about how the world around you happened, SOCIAL JUSTICE FALLACIES is a good read for you.

Reivew of FORMAL ARRANGEMENT

FORMAL ARRANGEMENT

KYLIE GILMORE

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Lauren, a teacher, signs an agreement with Alex, an artist, to care for his two-year-old daughter during summer break, Viv—the arrangement between one hottie and another hottie. It could only end in a "Happy Endings Book Club" conclusion, as all the stories in this eleven-book series.

If you love HALLMARK movies, this is right up your alley: no significant twists and turns. Lauren wants what Alex has, and vice versa.

There is some hot sex, and it is preordained that marriage is in the cards. Viv is the linchpin - she loves Lauren, her second mommy.

The story is well-written, with some girlie-funny conversations. However, I will not buy another book in the series, but if you are a romantic and like happy-ending stories, start with book 1.
