Mystery Monday

Do not start reading this book before bedtime, especially if you have to get up early or can’t call in sick to the slog pits because you won’t be able to put it down! Put your phone to sleep, make yourself comfortable, throw a cushion in the corner, roast a knight, make a pot of tea or coffee and go!
A refreshing style awaits from the first page. Written in a three part, first person narrative from three different viewpoints there is never a dull moment in suspense. This thriller delivers by starting at a slow pace and building, like a snowball rolling downhill.
Edvardsson’s characters take us on a suspenseful journey with a twist around every corner. I could not put this down and read it in less than three days. I didn’t know there were writers like this left in the literary world.
Reminiscent of Dumaurier and Christie, Edvardsson quickly draws us in, making us care for these characters. He gives us time to get to know them. I could feel myself standing on that cold, playground, staring at, well, that would be telling…
Fellow Dragons we are known to be a loyal lot, protecting our own young so, before you start reading, ask yourself a question. How far would you go to protect your family?

Happy Independence Day!

I know it’s July 3rd,but I was too excited about this book to wait! And this being Independence Week, I’ve decided to show off a star spangled gem I found not long ago.

Star Spangled Scandal by Chris DeRose, best selling author, Washington,D.C. insider.

Chris DeRose’s Star Spangled Scandal! A Senator madly in love with this wife. His wife’s lover, Barton Key – yes, Key of the Star Spangled Banner Keys. Murder. If it’s the only Historical True Crime you read this year, do so and I mean it. It’s set two years before the Civil War and it’s a true story of sex, murder, and politics…but could easily have been a headline in today’s news.
DeRose’s style made me feel like a fly on the wall of the most stately places, among the most popular, famous and infamous of D.C. of the pre-Civil War era. Witness the development of their party the Democrats during these tumultuous times.
See where the Republican party got it’s start and why.
This is one of the top ten most riveting Historical Crime novels I have ever read.  Grab this gem for yourself and don’t get too near the fireworks, my Book Dragons. Until tomorrow. …

I received nothing of value in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Welcome Fellow Book Dragons
