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.

Review of WITCH INDEED

WITCH INDEED

A Mackenzie Coven Mystery

 

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.

Losing your cat is a no, no. The second time Lexie losses Luna the world comes to an end.

I am just kidding. But the cat convention does with an unexpected ending.

Review of MIND YOUR OWN MURDER

MIND YOUR OWN MURDER

PATTI LARSON

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Persephone Pringle, a psychologist, travels to escape her ex-husband and doting daughter. She looks forward to a quiet vacation but walks into a whirlwind of discontent.

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

However, there are many suspects, which leads to a calamity. When the smoke settles, Ms. Pringle helps solve the crime.

This short cozy mystery was simple and fun to read. The story was well-written. I surmised the killer at the moment I met the person.
