Review of THE KEY TO JUSTICE

THE KEY TO JUSTICE

 

DENNIS CARSTENS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This legal thriller keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. Carstens' legal knowledge enhances the core story of a man on trial for serial killings in Minnesota.

The twist and turns of who is the real murderer are affected by police involvement. Interwoven throughout the investigation of the crimes are deceiving clues that lead to a page-turning story.

This Book, 1 of Mr. Carstens' series, has all the good qualities: characters you want to follow up; and a well-defined background. In addition, his writing is crisp and fast-moving.

The main characters, Marc and Maddy, spark up the series. He is a well-versed lawyer; she is a beautiful P.I. you want to watch in action. They help to bring this action-filled novel to an uncharacteristic explosive ending for a legal drama.

I have read two of Dennis Carstens' novels; all stories stand-alone except for these main characters. Fantastic reads.

Review of UNCONDITIONAL

UNCONDITIONAL

 

LEXXIE COUPER

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Maci has won a scholarship to study koalas in Australia. Raph is a celebrity attending the University of Sydney because his sister married a prince.

She has Parkinson's, which in many ways controls her life. But, because of an episode, they meet in the Sydney Airport men's bathroom and kiss, which sets the tone for their adventure.

Both are gorgeous, according to the people around them and how they see each other. However, Maci and Raph have hidden flaws.

This novel is a romance, so you know they will fall for each other without revealing their complete background. Unfortunately, these problems lead to some interruptions in it.

Raph's love is unconditional, he says, and he proves it unconditionally at the end of the story.

Lexxie Couper's writing will win you over to buy the series.

Review of LIBERAL MISERY

LIBERAL MISERY

                                                                                     

EDDIE SCARRY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This book is 'Political Commentary,' by a man who tells you he is gay at the beginning of the first of five long chapters with extensive references. Eddie writing this is not essential to me.

I read Thomas Sowell's 'INTELLECTUALS and SOCIETY.' without knowing he is black. What is important to me is content for the inquisitive mind or the fun enjoyment of reading.

LIBERAL MISERY is a book for the Inquisitive Mind, most of my followers. He gets to the point of his comments and backs them up with references - more like a dissertation than a story.

The subjects covered are contemporary: political behavior, comedy, elections, riots, and what the left calls an insurrection. Mr. Scarry's comments are conservative-based.

Whether you agree with Eddie or not, the insight is worth this fun read when you know the conclusions of the events within the book.

Review of BODIES, BADDIES, and a Crabby Tabby

BODIES, BADDIES, and a

Crabby Tabby

SHERRI BRYAN

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This Bliss Bay Village Mystery, book 1, sets up a series of a town full of gossip. Megan returns home, stops for coffee, and walks into murder one.

Mystery one is followed by two, three, and four. Too much for one novel. What do you think?

Right. Too many storylines and town bios to remember for book 2. However, the flow is well-penned, and Megan's communication skills lead to a worthy ending.

Even the mystery of the Tabby, a cat for Americans, has a hard-rock ending. BODIES is my first cozy English mystery which was longer than average; however fun to read.

Review of BET THE RANCH

BET THE RANCH

LAUREN DEL ORO

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Celeste is selling real estate in Arizona. Gabe is the CEO of a Tech company in California, keeping that information a secret. They have nothing in common other than dislikes for their positions; they like horses and are looking for ways to leave their career path.

Gabe's grandmother, who lives in the city where Celeste works, becomes her client through Gabe's initiative. His quest is to find a home for his grandmother with Celeste's help, not romance.

Sparks arise between them over time as Gabe travels back and forth, helping to find the right place for his grandmother. Unbeknown to Celeste, they communicate using an app he developed, helping his company get wealthy.

When a disastrous event happens in Celeste's life, the relationship diminishes but ends predictably. Gabe takes the lead deciding to save the day for her without anyone's knowledge.

I enjoyed their thoughts and history under all the chapter headings - Celeste and Gabe. You will also like them if you love ROMANCE.

Review of SUPER HOT Supervisor

SUPER HOT Supervisor; A Steamy

#Workplace #Romance #Comedy

MANDY HARBIN

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Can cybersex lead to love? Does it with Cassie and Ian, who work on a project together, her in the USA South and him in California? Or is it just a ploy by Ian?

The roadblocks seem impossible, but with literally a spank on the ass from Sasha, Cassie might get her man. The idea sounds kinky, but to Ian, it's a turn-on.

However, Cassie gets a slap "In the face,' from Ian, who is doing his dirty job. After both events, the novel's ending is surprising.

SUPER HOT is a quick, well-written read full of sex that could have filled the pages of PLAYBOY or PENTHOUSE magazine. If you like erotica, this is for you.

Review of THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE

THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE

Brain, Mind, and Body

in the Healing of Trauma

BESSEL VAN DER KOLK, M. D.

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This review is one of 61,471 on Amazon, some of which read like term papers. So, my review will be short; I am not one of Bessel’s colleagues. LOL.

However, I agree that it is a good read for psychiatrists and people caring for trauma patients. In addition, the general public with an Inquisitive Mind, like myself and my followers, will enjoy the education about trauma.

Although Bessel uses the word I too much, he and his cohorts have made significant accomplishments in treating trauma: PTSD in veterans and children, rape victims, and criminals. He does admit that human nature, as it is, will not change; therefore, trauma cases will always manifest.

Treating them is the problem—the questions: how, who, what, when, and why come into question.

If you have time to read five hundred pages of a dissertation, I recommend this book for its readable content that will surprise you.

SONIA PARIN

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Yes, this novel has a murder, but it's about CATS. Witches have cats. I know women who talk to their cats.

In WITCH INDEED, Lexie, a witch in training, has a cat named Luna that talks back and is this mystery's star. But, lucky for her, the man who died wanted to stuff her, and the murderer almost captured her.

Her next-door neighbor is murdered on her doorstep. Because of prior events and some evidence, the sheriff believes Ms. Pringle is a suspect.

Review of CALAMITY JENA

CALAMITY JENA

 

JANET ELIZABETH

HENDERSON

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Moving to a different country is what Jena did. She ran away from a corrupt ex-boyfriend USA to a small town in Scotland.

Gorgeous Jena gets a reputation for being a walking disaster when dating the locals. But, because her so-called gangster-type boyfriend arrives in the town to drag her home, the local hunk of a cop engages himself as her protector.

A whirlwind of calamity erupts in the quiet town surrounding Jena, who townspeople have already dubbed a dizzy adorable American young lady. The event's end is explosive and a display of emotions.

CLAMITY JENA is a funny and enjoyable romantic comedy that keeps you laughing. Some twists and turns are optional; however, the story comes together.

Review of LITERATURE and the CULTURE WARS

LITERATURE and the NEW CULTURE WARS

DEBORAH APPLEMAN

Review by Roy Murry, Author

I do not have a Ph.D., nor am I a teacher of Literature. However, I did have the opportunity in college to take two courses in American Literature which I excelled, and I have read thousands of books, novels, and papers.

In reviewing Ms. Appleman's dissertation on teaching American and English Literature, one does not need to have Critical Race Theory as part of the syllabist. However, she believes the professor must not cater to the whims of the students, faculty, and an uncultured society.

CTR is not Literature. It's seventy-five percent history and twenty-five percent propaganda - not a text to evaluate icons like Mark Twain, Hemingway, Shakespeare, or Toni Morrison. I agree with L.P. Hartley: "The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."

If you have an Inquisitive Mind, as I do, you will purchase this book. Beforehand, this is written for the literature teacher and is detailed in jargon.

Review of THE BINDING

 

THE BINDING

 BRIDGET COLLINS

 

 Review by Author Roy Murry

 

In the nineteenth century, Emmett is to be a binder - a person who takes an individual's memories and hides them in the pages of a book for safekeeping. His sexual memory is in question.

Reading THE BINDING will put the reader through a gamut of emotions that will self-analyze one's life. Would I like to have some of my life removed from my thought process?

I say no. How about you? However, the concept is written intriguingly by Ms. Collins in novel form.

When Emmett comes of age as a binder, he realizes the enormity of the falseness in the binding process, which includes the book of his male lover. Then, in an explosive and disturbing escapade, Emmett and his lover are free to think for themselves.

But are they? Worth the read for a person with an INQUISITIVE MIND.

Review ot TWISTED JUSTICE

TWISTED JUSTICE

DENNIS CARSTENS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

TWISTED JUSTICE is my third Carstens novel read and the twelfth in his Marc Kadella legal series. In his writing, he brings out the worst and best of humanity.

Marc, a defense lawyer, and his lover Maddy, a PI, round out a group of characters that propel the series forward by getting to the truth of a crime. In this novel, a friend of Marc's is charged with the horrendous murder of his wife.

The wife's secret life, the group of her friends, and her well-connected clients play a role in this twisted case. Marc and his cohorts develop a plausible defense.

In his deductive evaluation, however, Marc knows the truth and keeps it to himself, which leads to a thrilling closure. The twists and turns of this well-written novel will keep you reading to the end.

Review of A LEGACY WITCH

A LEGACY WITCH

Spellcasters Spy Academy

 

ASHLEY McLEO

 

Review by Roy Murry

 

Merlin, a warlock of the King Arthur fable, is rolling in his tomb laughing - an academy for witches to become spies. However, Ms. Ashley Mcleo pulls off the legacy in a fun way for young adults to enjoy.

Odette Dane is an academy legacy enrollee at Spellcasters, which she gets flack for by young witches who took the test to get into the college-like school. But, during this first in a series book, she passes necessary tests with magical help to the surprise of all.

These adventures involve vampires and monsters taught in school classes. The descriptions are funny and horrific simultaneously - enjoyable, even for an older adult like me.

Ms. McLeo's writing is crisp and flows easily with exciting characters, including Odette's soulmate. In this novel, she leaves the reader wondering what happened in four deadly events for solving in books 2 and 3.

Review of THE DELTA

THE DELTA

Sonja Kurtz series Book One

TONY PARK

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

THE DELTA is the second novel I have read by Mr. Park. The first is SAFARI. Both give a vivid background of Africa's wildlife, countries' topographies, and their people.

Sonja, a well-trained mercenary, is manipulated into a predicament by her boss and ex-lover. She has to do the unpredictable for millions, which will start a war. Will this event save the environment or make the rich richer plays a significant role in her decision?

The characters play an intriguing role that leads to compelling subplots that are the background of Sonja's main event. Unfortunately, these stories slowed down getting to the main event.

THE DELTA is a long read but worth the wait for the explosive and unconventional ending. The story is well written as are all of Mr. Park’s novels

ELISA SAX

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Glady's grandmother is the town's matchmaker aficionado, Zelda. She says Glady has the gift, but Glady doesn't see it, nor does anyone else.

Throughout the mystery of trying to figure out who killed a neighbor, Glady can't make a match. Finally, two men are trying to comingle with her, one being the lover boy Sheriff involved with the crime. The other is a wealthy hunk who moved in next door.

Ms. Sax has put together humorous circumstances that sometimes need to be clarified. But they are, and the real criminal is right under their noses.

The storyline is well put together for an easy and fun read. Elisa Sax's prose will bring you back to reading book two in this strange series.

What will Glady match next? Read on.

Review of RECESSIONAL

RECESSIONAL

DAVID MAMET

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

David Mamet is an award-winning playwright and filmmaker who distinguishes himself as an essayist. Recessional is a collection of his essays in which he discusses and analyzes the arts, politics, religion, education, and constitutional issues.

I am politically neutral. I don't love any political party; I love good books. I review books based on their content, not the author's affiliations.

Mr. Mamet writes from the perspective of a man who tries to make sense of a nation knocked off its rails by the politically correct. Even though many of the essays are "Right" leaning, he does an excellent job.

A leftist will say Mamet is out of his Jewish mind. Yet, his cognitive perceptions are better than many in our U.S. Government today.

His prose is funny, insightful, in-depth, critical, and intellectual. "Recessional" is a must-read for a person with an Inquisitive Mind.

They combined their intellect to find the killer. But, unfortunately, Jaye and Jack's relationship is interrupted by Jaye's lover and finding the murderer.  

This novel ends in an unpredictable one where Jaye finds herself in a deadly compromising position. However, it leads to a new beginning - book 2.

SWEET DEAL SEALED

Donut Lady Cozy Mystery - Book 1

JUDITH A. BARRET

Review by Author Roy Murry

Although this story did not rock by boat, it was a fair read. The mystery starts when the main character, Karen or Teach, is in prison for killing her husband. An inmate is killed. 

The rest of the novel is about Karen relocating to her hometown to open a Donut Shop and meeting people who will propel the series forward. The sheriff who comes by each morning for coffee and donuts, hyperactive Shirley, and Woody round out the odd characters.

The mystery woven into Karen's new life is the who, what, and why some women are killed. This novel is not a real thriller, but somewhat fun to read.

ELIZABETH RAIN

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This novel is a mystery that has strange bedfellows: ghosts and witches. Juli inherits uncle Jed's restaurant, 'Snips and Snails,' and ends up looking for his murderer.

The story is full of laughs a minute as Juli navigates learning how to be a Soup Witch with the help of Grans, a witch, running a restaurant, and dealing with the ghosts/cats in the kitchen. As an investigator, she upsets locals and the police chief, looking for clues.

With all this going on, Juli finds a relationship with Jack, a firefighter, a la hunk. He helps her to understand the humans in her new hometown and find the killer.

She is on her own with the other witches and ghosts.

Ms. Rain's novel is an enjoyable read.

Review of TABOO

TABOO

10 FACTS (You Can't Talk About)

WILFRED REILLY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

What you can't talk about is a phrase that puts me in a tailspin. So, when I saw the cover of Dr. Reilly's dissertation on racial mores, I needed to read the book.

I am not an intellectual, but I have always been able to pick a phony. Dr. Reilly is not one. He is an intellectual, as was Thomas Sowell, who opened my mind to some ideas I didn't understand. They each have a different take on racism.

Wilfred Reilly's TABOO taught me things I had yet to learn because of a lack of study. Example: Anthropologists and biologists agreed that there are four primary genetic human races: Caucasian, Mongolian/Asiatic, and Negroid.

What are we thinking today - Black and White racism only? At SCOTUS today, there is an Affirmative Action case - Asians against Harvard because of its Diversity quota system.

Then, as some on the RIGHT would say, there is White Racism? There is too much in this book to explain. It would be best if you read it.

Dr. Reilly's prose is easy to follow and overly detailed. The only drawback is the multiple uses of IQ for layering races and some repetitions of themes.

Review of THE SOCIAL EXPERIMENT

THE SOCIAL EXPERIMENT

ADDISON MOORE

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This series Book 1, is a young adult Hallmark-type novel with vulgarity. Example: "Ember says that guys who are into oral are worth their weight in cunnilingus gold."

Sophie and Rowen grew up together and were in love at a young age. However, their love never connected because of an entanglement between Rowen and Sophie's brother.

Family allegiance keeps them apart until they meet in a college social experiment. Then, love blooms in the childish experiment, and the battle lines flare up.

The story ends in Hallmark fashion, leading the reader into book two. Again, Moore writes well with funny sexual connotations.

Reader beware. Purchase: https://amzn.to/3We2RXv
