Review of THE STRANGE DEATH OF EUROPE


 

THE STRANGE DEATH OF EUROPE

 

DOUGLAS MURRAY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

'When you allow unvetted mass immigration into your country, the world's problems become your problems.' is my takeaway from this well-researched book on how the globalist in Berlin and Brussels (EU) destroyed nation-states in western Europe.  England, France, Italy, Germany, Sweden are the center countries of Murray’s arguments that have collapsed in identity, socially, demographically, and economically.

For me, this is an indictment of failed politicians (Globalists) who feel they know best for other countries. They do not consider the clashes of cultures, Islam vs. Christianity psychologically. The integration of humanity will take of that.

Mr. Murray makes excellent points on what I just mentioned and more, leaving the reader with PERHAPS... Maybe profoundly ingrained beliefs, over centuries, will change.

The arguments, pros, and cons about religion, mass migration, refugees, and national pride are profound. So, as I, the reader, will stop, take notes, think, and want to know where the world is heading.

Born in the USA, I am concerned with its new unvetted mass migration and refugees from Afghanistan arriving daily. If you are also, you should read this book.

Review of DON'T KNOW JACK

DON'T KNOW JACK

The Hunt for (Jack) Reacher Series, Bk 1

 

DIANE CAPRI

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 


It seems to me; Diane Capri does not know jack.  However, the book is a thriller with a new character FBI Agent Kim Otto.

Kim and her partner, veteran agent Carlos Gaspar, are sent on a high-level "Wild Goose Chase," instructed by the Director, whose name we don't know until the end.  For me, the story stands on its own, leaving out the search for Jack. 

Kim, following her instincts, does unravel an international plot. The tensions rise and fall for her and her partner, leading to an unpredictable deadly ending.

The thrilling points and the characters are the main reasons to read this series. Checking your BPM is needed when reading this novel.

DON'T KNOW JACK is a bit of a con; however, the story was full of cues that will lead the reader to the next novel in the series. If you like thrillers with no end, this is for you.

Review of ONE LAST STEP

 



ONE LAST STEP

A Tara Mills Mystery - Book One

 

SARAH SUTTON

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Tara Mills has a six-sense for a newbie agent of the FBI. However, her partner is a veteran who is going to teach her the ropes.

As all people learning a job, if they're enthusiastic, mistakes are made. Her partner understands this when Tara makes them.

However, she rises to the occasion when all conclude that the case is over, including the big boss. Tara falls into a legal quagmire but proceeds, leading to a suspenseful deadly situation.

In that entanglement, lessons learned by her and her veteran will have the reader wanting more.

Therefore, I recommend the three-book series because the characters, writing, and drama are entirely satisfying.

Review of LUCK BET



 


LUCKY BET

ANNA READER

 

Review by Author Roy Murry


'Lucky Bet' was a fun book but not likely to happen in the 1790s. Because Lady Elizabeth, Bet, tricks elderly English men into believing she is a man. 

The events of her manhood come after she, with the help of a male friend, escapes her nefarious ward, who tries to marry her off for monetary gain. Instead, she runs to an uncle she has never seen in London.

With her uncle and friend's approval, Bet's adventure is sometimes comical and becomes deadly when she, as a man, tries to help a married woman in distress. The story leads to an explosive ending where the saga continues.

Ms. Reader's writing is crisp and weaves an intriguing and secondary romance story. Reading the second book in the saga is on my list.

I recommend that you buy both books and read the whole story at once.

Review of ALL OF ME

ALL of ME

The Bridesmaid Club

LEEANNA MORGAN


Review by Author Roy Murry

 




Tess, an ex-model, owns a small-town cafe after a traumatic event that still possesses her. Logan, a veteran war reporter, moves to the town and, for a year, is smitten by her.

She does not like reporters. At this point, the educated reader knows they'll get together. Each has its horror stories that collide in the relationship that lead to confrontations.

Romance lovers will love the characters, but the storyline has too many backstory gaps, which they will overlook. However, these genre lovers will enjoy the tit for tat of Tess and Logan's relationship and forgive the holes in the story.

Because ALL OF ME is well-written with interesting characters, I recommend it to all Romance Lovers, using Kindle, to read the series. All others beware.

Review of SAGE ADVICE

SAGE ADVICE

Lives and Maxims of Some 

of History's Wisest People

 

RICHARD K. BORDEN

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

SAGE ADVICE is a collection of thoughts for the INQUISITIVE MIND. These thoughts or maxims make your mind go into a tailspin.

From Ptah-Hotep of Egypt to Gandhi, eighteen of Borden's wisest people’s short biographies and advice in thoughtful phrases are well organized. Fortunately, the book layout divides the bio from the maxims giving the reader the luxury of not being confused or trying to know who said what.

With each biography, the reader will see the evolution in thoughts over the thousands of human existences. The maxims, if read slowly, quietly, and separately, will lead the reader to self-evaluation – always a good thing.

You don't need to be a philosophy or a psychologist to read SAGE ADVISE. However, you should be a thoughtful person with an Inquisitive Mind a la Murry's Readers Are Leaders.

A well-written collection.

Review of TAPAS



Tapas, Carrot Cake, and A Corpse

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

TAPAS is the first cozy mystery series where Charlotte lives, and she owns a restaurant in a small oceanside town. A dead body lies on a luxury yacht docked not far from her eatery, where the locals and tourists gather.

Not only is Charlotte an excellent chef, she understands people.  Without trying, she is sleuthing by observation.

The owners of the yacht are suspects of Charlotte's detective friend but have alibis. So how did the death happen?

The information gathered by Charlotte daily leads to an exciting ending on the restaurant's patio at a celebration. The locals, the detective, the tourist, and the reader get a surprise that only is found in a cozy mystery.

Well written and enjoyable. Get a Cozy Mystery Novel which is always pleasant reads.
