Officer Elvis by Gary Gusick – Review @GaryGusick

Officer Elvis by Gary Gusick
Darla Cavannah Mysteries #2

In the vein of Harlan Coben and Lisa Gardner, Gary Gusick takes readers on an explosive ride-along with Mississippi detective Darla Cavannah, a Yankee transplant making her name in the Deep South.

After performing at a local old-folks home, off-duty police officer and part-time Elvis impersonator Tommy Reylander smoothes out his pompadour, climbs into his pink Caddy, and gets all shook up—fatally so, when a bomb explodes. Whether he was killed for his police work or bad singing is a mystery that detective Darla Cavannah is determined to solve.

Though it’s been several years since Darla (reluctantly) partnered up with Tommy, she convinces her boss to let her lead the murder investigation. As the …

The Kill Shot by Nichole Christoff – Review + Giveaway

My Thoughts

The Kill Shot by Nichole Christoff is the second book in the Jamie Sinclair novels. Jamie is a security specialist/private investigator and her father needs her help. What follows is an interesting story of international intrigue. I liked getting to follow Jamie to different locales as she tries to solve the crime.

Jamie is not the brightest character, but I think it helps her appear more human. She isn’t perfect, she’s not super intelligent or gorgeous or anything like that. She is just a normal girl, who works hard to do her job.

This book was exciting with action, crime, mystery, spies and world traveling. I enjoyed reading this and I think this will be a series that …

My Sister's Grave by Robert Dugoni – Review @robertdugoni

My Thoughts

My Sister’s Grave by Robert Dugoni can be summed up in one (possibly made up) words: unputdownable. Yes. Really. I could not stop reading this one from the moment I started. The story is expertly crafted and you’re trying to guess what’s going to happen but you can’t. This is a murder mystery story with enticing characters. Tracy’s sister went missing years ago, and, though someone has been convicted of murdering her (even without a body), Tracy has always thought this person was framed. She became a detective and is astonished when her sister’s grave is uncovered. She enlists the help of her childhood friend and attorney Dan to try to get to the bottom of …

Mrs. Kaplan and the Matzoh Ball of Death by Mark Reutlinger – Review + Giveaway

My Thoughts

I wasn’t sure what to think when I first started reading Mrs. Kaplan and the Matzoh Ball of Death by Mark Reutlinger. The story is set in a Jewish senior living community. While the mystery plot was interesting, and I liked the characters of Ida and Rose, I felt like I couldn’t really get into the story as much as I wanted. I’m not sure if this is because of the constant use of Jewish terms/slang/phrases that I had no idea what they meant, or the somewhat repetitive way that Ida told the story. I think I might have liked it more if Rose would have been telling her own story. I teetered between giving this …

Becoming Josephine by Heather Webb – Review

Becoming Josephine by Heather Webb is a fascinating historical read. I could not put it down. I found myself at work, thinking of it and wishing I was reading it. It stuck with me throughout the day and I fell asleep reading it. I loved the story that Heather has written. All the elements came together perfectly. The characters are beautifully and intricately developed. The settings were marvelous and I truly felt transported reading Becoming Josephine by Heather Webb. The plot was full of action and never let up. I would give this ten stars if I could. This is one of those stories that I wish I could forget simply so I could have the pleasure of reading it …
