The Midget’s House
By Anita Bartholomew / Genre: Mystery & Thrillers / Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
“You get sucked in and won’t want to put the book down until you’ve read the very last page.”
The Midget’s House is a tale of two women (one alive, and the other long dead), each mourning lost love and struggling for control of the one place that feels like home.
Marisa Delano is thrilled when she unexpectedly inherits the fairy tale-like cottage on the bay–until she learns that Lucinda Lacey, a sideshow midget who died on the property in 1924, still inhabits it. As Marisa searches for answers about the unwelcome presence in her new home, all the clues lead to one conclusion: on the day Lucinda died, she murdered her lover, circus owner Cyrus Parker.
Alternating between Lucinda’s and Marisa’s perspectives, The Midget’s House takes readers from the carnivals, circuses, and freak shows of the early twentieth century, to the boom-and-bust of today’s Florida.
Haunting in every sense of the word, this genre-blending tale will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Margaret’s Ark
By Daniel G. Keohane / Genre: Mystery & Thrillers / Rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars
“This was an entertaining story that was also very thought provoking.”
On April ninth, thousands of people wake from the same dream, angels instructing them to build a biblical ark in their front yard, or the town square or little league field. Anywhere, to prepare for the worst natural disaster to strike the world since the days of Noah. A widowed California high school teacher risks everything to build a boat in the sixty days she is given. A homeless and self-proclaimed prophet of God preaches across Boston’s waterfront, unaware that he is not alone in his visions. A young priest is torn between the signs around him and the skepticism of his Church. A physician’s plans for advancement are threatened by her husband’s dreams of a coming flood.
In the end, only thirty people may board each boat. As the world slowly comes to grips with events unfolding around them, they must weigh their own faith in the exceptional and identical visions of so many people. The skies are clear, without a hint of rain. But if the dreams are true, something terrible is looming on the horizon.

Tears in Tripoli
By Paul A. Rice / Genre: Mystery & Thrillers / Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
“This was a well written, fast paced book set in the midst of a recent historic event; I’d recommend it to anyone.”
Providing security for international media teams is old-hat for Jake Collins. He’s been there and he’s done that. However, his latest little jaunt, one that sees him travelling right into the heart of Libya, soon turns out to be the trip of a lifetime.
The day after Jake arrives in Libya, the rebel assault upon the heart of Tripoli begins.
The destruction of Colonel Gadaffi’s compound, a giant, walled village in the heart of the troubled city, is the Rebels’ only goal, and they will not be stopped.
Jake soon finds himself in the thick of the fighting, racing through the war-torn streets of Tripoli with a camera crew under the gaze of his watchful eye.
It’s never easy trying to stay alive in a world ripped-apart by revolution and madness, especially when some of Jake’s crew seem absolutely determined to get themselves killed.
Finding himself surrounded by death and love, sadness and joy, it seems to JC that there are enough tears in Tripoli for a man to drown in.
Jake Collins doesn’t do tears, and he’s not that keen on drowning, either.
