Death by the Book (A Drew Farthering Mystery: Book Two) by Julianna Deering
With Farlinford Processing and the family's good name safe again
following the events in Rules of Murder, Drew Farthering wants nothing
more than to end the summer of 1932 with the announcement of his
engagement to Madeline Parker. Instead, he finds himself involved in
another mysterious case. The family lawyer has been found dead in a
Winchester hotel room, skewered through the heart by an antique hat pin
with a cryptic message attached: Advice to Jack.
Evidence of secret meetings and a young girl's tearful confession point to the man's double life, but what does that have to do with the murder of a physician on the local golf course? Nothing, it would seem. Nothing except for another puzzling note and the antique hat pin affixing it to the doctor's chest.
Soon the police make an arrest in connection with the murders, but Drew isn't at all sure they have the right man. Could the killer be one of his society friends, or is it someone much closer than that?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series! The back drop is the English countryside village of Farthering St. John in the 1930's. Drew Farthering is the main character who is a solid God fearing Christian man who has a knack for solving mysteries. Would highly recommend this book and series. I can't wait to read Book Three!

Love Comes Calling by Siri Mitchell
A girl with the best of intentions.
A heart set on Hollywood.
An empty pocketbook.
A heart set on Hollywood.
An empty pocketbook.
That's
all it takes for Ellis Eton to find herself working as a
telephone operator for a look-alike friend. For Ellis,
this job will provide not only acting practice but the
funds to get her a start in the movies. She's tired of
always being a disappointment to her traditional Boston
family, and though she can't deny the way he makes her
head spin, she knows she's not good enough for Griffin
Phillips, either. It's simple: avoid Griff's attentions,
work, and get paid. But in typical Ellis fashion, her
simple plan spirals out of control when she overhears a
menacing phone call...with her very own Griff as the
target.
I love fictional history novels! This story begins in May of 1924. Ellis Eton is the main character who is a bit frustrating but has good intentions and no money. Thus to help out a friend she takes a job as a telephone operator and the mystery begins. Overall I enjoyed this story and the characters of Ellis and Griff. At times a bit slow moving, but the author ties up the story very well at the end and I was a satisfied reader.
Shadows of the Past (Book One: Logan Point) by Patricia Bradley
Psychology professor and criminal profiler Taylor Martin prides
herself on being able to solve any crime, except the one she wants most
desperately to solve—the disappearance of her father twenty years ago.
When she finally has a lead on his whereabouts, Taylor returns home to
Logan Point, Mississippi, to investigate. But as she is stalking the
truth about the past, someone is stalking her.
Nick Sinclair pens mystery novels for a living, but the biggest mystery to him is how he can ever get over the death of his wife—a tragedy he believes he could have prevented. With his estranged brother the only family he has left, Nick sets out to find him. But when he crosses paths with Taylor, all he seems to find is trouble. Join the chase as this determined duo search the murky shadows of the past for the keys to unlocking the present and moving into a future filled with new hope and love. Readers will be swept into the sultry South in this debut novel from a promising and already award-winning writer. Interesting overall story but for me it was slow moving. Main characters Taylor Martin and Nick Sinclair were developed pretty well but I found myself not really caring about them or their troubles. Decent suspense build up and solid ending make this an okay read for me.

Stranded (Book Three: Alaskan Courage) by Dani Pettrey
When her friend vanishes from a cruise ship, reporter Darcy St. James
isn’t satisfied with their explanation that she simply left her job of
her own accord. Something isn’t lining up, and Darcy believes the only
way to find the truth is to put herself in Abby’s position.
Within days, Darcy learns her friend wasn’t the only person to disappear mysteriously. Last summer, a woman vanished under almost identical circumstances.
Gage McKenna has taken a summer-long stint leading adventure excursions for the passengers of various cruise lines that dock for a few days of sightseeing. He’s surprised to find Darcy working aboard one of the ships, investigating a troubling report.
Something sinister is going on, and the deeper they dig, the more Gage fears they’ve only discovered the tip of the iceberg.
I LOVE this series that features the McKenna family and their friends. The Alaskan location is wonderful and "refreshing" as not a lot stories feature the winter climate. Darcy St. James and Gage McKenna are the featured/lead characters this time around. Their story is pretty special. I was totally engaged with their story. All the characters are well developed and believable. Story itself moved along at a good pace. I can't wait for the next book in this great series!

No One To Trust (Hidden Identity: Book One) by Lynette Eason
Summer Abernathy wakes up one morning to find her husband missing,
three men in her home intent on finding him, and the life she’s been
living based on a lie. Which Kyle Abernathy did she marry? The computer
programmer she met in line at the bank? Or the one who was apparently
using that image as a cover story?
The search for her husband–and answers–takes Summer ever deeper into a world of organized crime where people are used one moment and discarded the next. And with her deepest relationship of trust already shattered, Summer doesn’t know who to believe.
Always thrilling, Lynette Eason outdoes herself in this taut, breakneck story of lies, loyalties, and love that will have readers up all night to discover the truth hidden in the shadows.
What a ride! This story of Summer and Kyle from start to finish is fantastic. It is fast paced, thrilling and exciting. Forgiveness is a big theme in this story and it is well done. Great character development and interesting storyline.
