DEATH ON THE SAPPHIRE: A LADY FRANCES FFOLKES MYSTERY BY R.J.KORETO

DEATH ON THE SAPPHIRE:A LADY FRANCES FFOLKES MYSTERY BY R.J. KORETO is a first book in the Lady Frances series. A victorian era setting with a very very opinionated and college educated woman Lady Frances is caught not only in the mysterious death of a good friend but in a love triangle involving a cad of a man and her families solicitor.  When Lady Frances is not getting into trouble trying to find the answers of her friends death and the theft of his manuscript she is off to meetings to get the vote for women in England and to show just how independent she can be.  Its that independence that is not only causing social trouble but it can be dangerous as well.

I found the book very well written and structured for a first time writer and hope to read more of the Lady Frances series.

THE EMPEROR'S REVENGE A NOVEL OF THE OREGON FILES CLIVE CUSSLER/BOYD MORRISON

THE EMPEROR'S REVENGE CLIVE CUSSLER AND BOYD MORRISON A NOVEL OF THE OREGON FILES.  I've said it before and I'll say it again I LOVE Cussler novels and this one is no different.  From page one you get a slice of history and an action packed deadly game of cat and mouse between the Juan Cabrillo and the Corporation and two modern day pirates who are not stealing booty but bucks, as in dollars, the Corporations dollars and Juan and his crew is NOT happy.  In the latest adventure Juan join forces with the feds to find the bad guys and along the way one of the team will not make it home,and that's the only spoiler i'm giving out! Fast paced high adventure, Cussler has never disappointed and with THE EMPERORS REVENGE  is no exception.  A must read of a thrill ride.

DOUBLED UP BY JERUSHA JONES

DOUBLED UP BY JERUSHA JONES:  This is the second of the series but the first book of the authors I have read.  This is stuck into the cozy mystery but that is ok with me because I enjoyed it immensely!

What's a girl to do when you day starts out with pounding rain,a trucker unconscious on the museums property who isnt what he seems, a federal investigation and an ex husband who wants to be apart of your life again?(more like a nuisance).

A very enjoyable,quick, quirky mystery that goes on my list of must read author again!

Bill O'Reilly's Legends and Lies: The Patriots by David Fisher

Bill O'Reilly's Legends and Lies: The Patriots
by David Fisher
If you like or dont like Bill O'Reilly you have to read this book.  The book gives you an inside look to the Revolutionary war and its players.  Fact:  Paul Revere was not the only rider yelling that the british have landed, there were other men and women who rode that night.  Meet the hero's and the villains of the Revolutionary war in this book.  Take it from a history junkie like me this is a must read.

HIGH STRUNG BY JANICE PEACOCK

i recieved this book from goodreads in exchange for a review.  HIGH STRUNG BY JANICE PEACOCK is the first installment of the "beading" mystery.  Cozy mystery yes but as a first installment it was pretty good.  It took me till the last chapter to figure out the bad guy.  I found the book very entertaining because Jax the main character is kinda like any run of the mill woman, just your average person who loves crafting who has a cat who is psychic (mine too) and boyfriend trouble.  Her neighbor is a little wacky which makes her my fav character and I did learn that making glass beads is not any easy task,especially when faced with a murder,being on the suspect list along with your best friend & finding the local Detective cute and rather annoyed at you.  I cant wait to read the second installment but I do have one word of advice for the author if she reads this, the murder must come in  at the first half of the book not the second half.
