Review of MURDER at the MARINA




MURDER AT THE MARINA

A Mollie McGhie Cozy Sailing

Mystery - Book 1

ELLEN JACOBSON

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

There is a reason Ms. Jacobson is a USA Bestselling Author. Her writing is top-notch, with a laugh every moment.

Her husband, Scooter, gifts Mollie a sailboat. She was waiting for diamonds on her anniversary, but she got the boat and a cat called Mrs. Moto.

Their boat mooring is at a local cove where shenanigans are going on, which leads to two murders. Mollie investigating aliens as a sideline, finds the first dead man and then two days later another.

Just being ‘Quirky Mollie,’ she works her way to find the murderer accidentally. But unfortunately, she gets her second bump on her head during the not-so-accident.

Murder at the Marina is a short cozy mystery you will enjoy.

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

Review of AN AFFAIR TO DISMEMBER





AN AFFAIR TO DISMEMBER

book one of the matchmaker mystery series

 

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.

Review of DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS




DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS

A J.J. Graves Mystery

LILIANNA HART


Review by Author Roy Murry


There are few books I read as quickly as DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS. Hart brings the reader into the story and keeps you there.

Jaye, Doctor Graves, has a double career going nowhere in a small town except into a string of murders. A co-lead character Jack is the Sheriff and Jaye's best friend, 

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.


Hart's writing is exciting.

Review of SWEET DEAL SEALED





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.
