Review: MURDER ON THE MOUNTAIN by L. R. Starr

Release August 31 2020

4 Stars

Gorgeous scenery and an endearing pair of protagonists brighten this involving murder mystery, with a seriously twisted denouement.  A bestselling L. A. mystery writer embarks on a retreat in scenic Telluride,  Colorado. The change of scenery is immensely helpful,  till she learns about a certain long-term killer who brutally fancies redheads, exactly what Daphne is.  Meeting a hunky local former homicide detective offers tons of romantic suspense, plus terror as the "Lady Red" killer discovers Daphne.

Tour Review: THE NIGHT SWIM by Megan Goldin


5 Stars


Caution to sensitive readers: THE NIGHT SWIM is both emotionally compelling and emotionally dangerous. Compelling, because you can't stop reading; dangerous, because the topics are rape and murder, and indeed the combination of the two atrocities. 

In today's climate, discussion of rape is nearly as common as the event itself. But the revelatory movements unfortunately haven't halted the crimes. Nor has it halted the horrible viewpoint of Victim Blaming.
