Review of THE CASE FOR TRUMP

THE CASE FOR TRUMP

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

The book THE CASE FOR TRUMP is the fourth I have read by the historical intellectual Davis Hanson; see the list below. I am a non-aligned voter who believes the present two-party works as one party. I always seek answers as to why.

Trump came into the picture 2016, and many newsworthy conflicts became the norm. VDH takes the reader through those conflicts - politically and personally charged.

You may disagree with VDH as to Trumps, Never-Trumpers, Democrats, and Republicans' motives pro and con, but you will find VDH's historical data complete. His narrative of the rollercoaster Trump journey into the White House up to November 1, 2019, is profoundly contra to what the Washington elite and political profundity got the USA into over the last twenty years.

'The (USA) status quo certainly was neither stable nor sustainable,' Davis Hanson explaining the US conflicts before Trump's arrival. I believe that the US Citizen's needs came second to the globalists - wealth and political needs of the military and industrial complex.

THE CASE FOR TRUMP is a must-read for those with an Inquisitive Mind.

Review of Pretty Little Fliers

Pretty Little Fliers

Pet Psychic Magical Mysteries

ERIN JOHNSON

Review by Author Roy Murry

Jolene is a pet psychic - not really, but she can talk to the animals. Peter is a hunk of a police officer with a magic wand and has a partner named Daisy, a dog who can tell if a perp is telling the truth. What a setup for a fun series!

The murder is simple: a woman falls out of a building. The investigation by the trio is hilarious, with a sarcastic undertone and highlighted by spells and caramels.

This novel is a fun fantasy a young adult or an old fart like myself will enjoy. The colorful characters are a sound basis for generating more comedic adventurous crime-solving.

The storyline is incredibly developed and well worth the dime.

Review of BENT

BENT: A Love's Complicated Novel

HOLLIS WYNN

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Carrigan has been in a mental funk for years because of her relationship with her mother, whom she has cared for from a young age. Believing in herself was difficult until she moved from her hometown to Chicago when her mother died.

Little by little, Carrigan's self-confidence grows with the help of Whit, a man she meets on the train and a friend at her new job. Her love for Whit increases and becomes complicated because of his life's events in motion.

How the novel ends will surprise the reader. For a first novel, Ms. Wynn hits all the buttons - good characters, emotional evaluation, excellent conversations, and tear-jerking situations of a young single living alone in the big city.

This novel is well worth the dime.

Review of SAILOR'S CHOICE

SAILOR'S CHOICE - A Connie Barrera Thriller

 

CLR DOUGHTERY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This novel is the twelfth in the series. I have read four of CLR's novels, starting with LOVE FOR SAIL in 2018, which you should also do.

   However, SAILOR'S CHOICE stands on its own. Connie and her husband take on a contracted couple to sail to a Caribbean Island on their sailing yacht DIAMANTISTA II. Karen and Mike, researchers, go ashore to investigate a volcano and do not return.

Connie and Paul report the people as missing to the island's police - the adventure begins. This thriller's intriguing twists and turns lead to murder, kidnapping, and corporate espionage.

With a supporting cast of characters that Connie and Paul have acquired over their careers, her sailing in the Caribbean, and he a Miami homicide Captain, the web closes in on the criminals. How they accomplish this feat is fascinating, as are all of Charles Dougherty's novels. In the end, you will be happy you read the adventure.

I will read another of his novels soon because of the adventure of reading about the Caribbean, where I lived for twenty-eight years in the Hospitality Industry - Dominican Republic to Margarita, Venezuela.

A MATCH for MAUDE

A Lilac City Romance Novella, Book 1

DONNA K, WEAVER

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

The Lancaster sisters, Maude, Doris, and Frances, are in a serious situation after the death of their father. Their uncle, who seems to be the executor of their father's will, has given them an ultimatum that will destroy their lives.

Without the uncle's knowledge, the three head on an adventure to reunite hundreds of train miles from home with the brother. Aunt Ann knows and seeks help from Charles, an ex-Pinkerton officer, to protect the women.

He agrees, and the cross-country adventure begins. The uncle, who has a nefarious quest, will do anything to get these women under his control.

With all this going on, Maude and Charles, who have similar backgrounds fall for each other. This romance begins an excellent series with characters and Western Hospitality that will encourage readers to continue.

 

A fast, enjoyable read.

Review of NEW ORLEANS MOURNING

NEW ORLEANS MOURNING

JULIE SMITH

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Why is New Orleans mourning? One of its Rexes, a king of the Mardi Gras parade, is shot dead near the end of the proceeding by A Dolly Parton look-a-like.

This police drama's lead character is an Uptown girl who returns home after a long journey to become an officer. Skip is her name, and the chief puts her together with two veteran homicide detectives to solve the crime because of her status with the in-crowd.

The old mystery cliche is "The Butler did it." But, in Mourning, the killer is closer than one would think. A historical love-hate relationship between family and friends is the key to this drama.

Ms. Smith's knowledge of NOLA's class system and the city's layout is a fascinating part of the story. Having been to New Orleans twice, I followed her tour.

Skip intermingles with the right people finding important information that will surprise the reader. "Mourning" is a long, good read.
