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.

No Turning Back

By Tiffany A. Snow / Genre: Mystery & Thrillers / Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars

“The book was full of suspense, had strong characters, sizzling chemistry and enough mystery to keep those pages turning!”

Kathleen Turner has goals. She moved to Indianapolis to start seeing to them, but things aren’t going quite as well as she’d hoped. She’s a runner for a high-powered law firm in town, not the most prestigious of positions, but it and her part-time bartender gig at least pays the bills. And one of the senior partners is a dreamboat in that obscenely rich, disturbingly good looking, slightly snobbish sort of way.

She was quite happy ogling him from afar, before she did a mortifying face plant in his lap during a meeting. After that…well…she was more about the avoiding. Mature, no. More likely to assure she keeps her job, yes.

She’s made some friends in the few months she’s been in Indy. One of those friends is her neighbor Sheila, though Kathleen can’t say she’s completely comfortable with Sheila’s job choice as a high-dollar escort.

It’s the middle of the night when Kathleen hears fighting coming from Sheila’s apartment. As disturbing as that is, it’s the ominous sound of silence afterwards that keeps Kathleen from falling back to sleep. Slipping from bed with the intention of making sure everything is okay, Kathleen knocks on her friend’s door, only to find Sheila murdered, her naked body sprawled on sheets stained crimson with her blood.

Before I Forget

By Leonard Pitts / Genre: Literary Fiction / Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars

“The lucid and well-structured storyline bring the characters to life as if you can look into their souls and feel their anguish, pain, joys and sorrow.”

This powerful novel of three generations of black men bound by blood — and by histories of mutual love, fear, and frustration — gives author Leonard Pitts the opportunity to explore the painful truths of black men’s lives, especially as they play out in the fraught relations of fathers and sons. As 50-year-old Mo tries to reach out to his increasingly tuned-out son Trey (who himself has become an unwed teenaged father), he realizes that the burden of grief and anger he carries over his own estranged father has everything to do with the struggles he encounters with his son. Part road novel, part character study, and part social critique, and written in compulsively readable prose, Before I Forget is the work of a major new voice in American fiction. Pitts knows inside and out the difficulties facing black men as they grapple with the complexities of their roles as fathers.

“It has a good pace and kept me reading and wanting to know what happens next.”

What would their nights be like? Fearlings is a story of such a human.
