Coming to America

COMING TO AMERICA

A History of Immigration and

Ethnicity in American Life

ROGER DANIELS

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

If you are a Social Studies major in college, this book is for you. The book is full of statistics that one would need to complete a term paper.

However, if a reader is looking for entertainment, I recommend staying away from this chronicle of our North American ancestors' origins. The history is often dull, and the book is a long read, as it's full of information that you will likely never use.

Some parts of Daniel's chapters do tell stories of why people move about the world. Reading this detailed history will reveal how various individuals and groups came to America, which may come as a surprise to the reader.

I recommend that if you care about why your group, the Irish or the Italians, for example, immigrated, the reader can find out. If not, this is not for you.

FRONT PAGE FATALITY

FRONT PAGE FATALITY

Maisy Marple Publication

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

I love cozy mysteries. This mystery about a small-town newbie reporter, Lucy Hartwell, hits most of the bells to be a great first in a series read.

However, the book is a good, entertaining read. The supporting characters required a bit more background, as did the town.

The story had its moments, and Lucy shone as a person with an inquisitive mind, which is essential as a reporter. She gets the job done, and it will be interesting in this series to see the situations she’ll be put in.

As for FRONT PAGE, the author keeps the reader interested to the surprising end. Lucy, through elimination, determines the culprit, and the murderer knows everyone in the town.

Good, quick, and fun read: https://amzn.to/46HCjFT

PRIMAL HEALTH DESIGN

DR. KAVIN MISTRY

Book Review by Author Roy Murry

 

We are all aging; can't stop it. Dr. Mistry provides the reader with seven ways to help reverse the biological systems that control human existence.

Comparing an African's lifestyle many years ago with that of modern-day man's tribulations, he outlines ways to increase one's life. By contrasting the good and bad traits of each, his paradigms are instructive and can be put into action.

The book is one that the reader should keep in the library and read each long chapter and put it down. Then think and read the next. This multiple instructional narrative is not to be read continuously.

Good Read. https://amzn.to/3TVsoF1

ZAMBEZI

ZAMBEZI

TONY PARKS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This novel is my second book by Mr. Parks that I have read. DELTA was the first, which I found more thrilling and less distracting.

ZAMBEZI had its moments, but sexual encounters slowed down the suspenseful events. However, the reader is drawn into the main story of Jed, a Green Beret, on his quest to find the body of his daughter, Miranda.

Mr. Parks shares his African background and recounts how man-eating lions could have devoured Jed's daughter. The twists and turns of this story keep the readers on the edge of their seats.

Just for those well-written events and the description of the African experience, it is worth the purchase.

Claws of Justice

CLAWS OF JUSTICE

EMMIE LYN

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

The title 'Claws of Justice' is a misnomer. 'The Bonsai Killer' might be more appropriate.

Harry is killed over a Bonsai Tree worth $180,000 - 300,000. He did not like cats or dogs, nor did his killer. However, the backstory is more about cats and Jasper the dog, rather than sleuthing.

Sunny Shaw is the main character, with Hitch, her ex-lover, as her co-detective. But the person who shines is Tilly, a whack-a-doodle, making this story worthwhile.

The plot moves quickly and is a well-written story; you will know the killer before the sleuths do. If you are a cat lover and like a whack-a-doodle, it's a read for you.

THE PLACE

THE PLACE

E.B. SULLIVAN

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This drama's backdrop is the 1800s California Gold Rush, where men either struck it rich or were driven into poverty. One man who had a farm and no abilities whatsoever other than drinking sold his daughter, age thirteen, to a Madam.

Lula, her nickname, became a prostitute, learned her trade, and many more lessons in life. She did not follow the crowd; instead, she educated herself and formed close relationships with the men with whom she was intimate.

One young man she fell in love with. However, she did not let him know because she was ashamed of her low social status and upbringing. He came from a wealthy background and left to pursue a career as a doctor in Boston, Massachusetts.

Their written communications brought life to their relationship. However, their status brought destruction to their desires.

And that breakup destroys it, until...
