A Review of Haunting Jordan by P.J. Alderman

Image
If you're looking to set the tone for Halloween season, Haunting Jordan by P.J. Alderman is a good place to start http://www.amazon.com/Haunting-Jordan-Port-Chatham-Mystery-ebook/dp/B002PXFYO2/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1443391250&sr=11&keywords=haunting+jordan+by+p.j.+alderman Haunting Jordan has all the juicy elements for a intriguing Halloween read: a couple of unsolved murder mysteries, a spooky Victorian house, and several ghosts looking for closure. The story is part of the Port Chatham Mystery Series which takes place in the Pacific Northwest http://www.pjalderman.com/port-chatham-mysteries.html Besides all the spooky elements, Haunting Jordan is a really good “who done it.” The story is about a modern day woman named Jordan Marsh who moves to the town of Port Chatham to escape the pressure of being accused in the murder of her husband. Hoping to distract herself from the case, Jordan tries to focus her attention on restoring an o

My Review of Some Dead Genius by Lenny Kleinfeld

When my Aunt Monica gave Some Dead Genius by Lenny Kleinfeld as a Christmas gift, I didn't even have to read the back of the book to know I would like it. Monica has spent most of her life working in theatre, film and other artistic endeavors and, as a result, has made it her business to connect with equally creative people.

The Bacchae -- A Myth ReTold by Christy Potter

Image
A Note from Adele Park:  Today I have the opportunity to let my blog readers know about a great new book called The Bacchae -- A Myth ReTold by Christy Potter.  This exciting new novel promises adventure and intrigue.  I would encourage everyone to give it a look. As an influential newspaper publisher in post-World War II New York, Zachary Benton seems infallible. But when his beautiful and icy wife, Hanna, discovers he’s been having an affair with Sarah, his Pulitzer prize-winning reporter, and that the girl is pregnant, Zachary realizes just how much he has to lose. Zachary’s once-charmed life becomes a hellscape as he attempts to keep Sarah safe from the increasingly frightening Hanna, while dealing with his paper’s escalating coverage of the war in Vietnam. Sarah, now visibly pregnant and hiding in a small town in Oklahoma, is unable to stay away from the newspaper business and her instincts for investigative reporting turn up far more than she expected. As t
