This is the second week in a row that I'm not using the Amazon synopsis for my spotlight. The Amazon sales copy was pitiful, so I have quoted from Bookbrowse. My teaser this week is from This Body of Death, An Inspector Lynley Novel, by Elizabeth George. It is a police procedural with lots of twists and turns, and I am still trying to figure out how the two disparate timelines are going to connect up.  ...

I am pleased to announce the release of Vanishing Teardrops, book #4 in the Tamara's Teardrops series! Hold onto your hats, because this is going to be a wild ride! ...

Here is a thriller that I picked up recently. You wouldn't guess from the synopsis on Amazon that The Breach by Patrick Lee is science fiction; I have used a description from tor.com down below to give you a better idea! It is a good ride, with some interesting time travel paradox twists and turns and a cliffhanger ending. But you will find a hero who is not your typical good guy.  ...

This would be a good Mother's Day gift for you or your mom! I just started Lisa Wingate's The Story Keeper (A Carolina Heirlooms Novel) and am finding it an intriguing story.

I've read a number of James Patterson's Michael Bennett series, but this is the first time I've read the first in the series, Step on a Crack (Michael Bennett). Lots of action and tension, as Michael Bennett is simultaneously dealing with a hostage situation and caring for his ten children while his wife is dying in the hospital. I anticipated the twist, but it was still a great book! ...

My current read is It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini, a young adult book about depression and managing mental illness. It has been made into a much-acclaimed movie. In spite of the subject matter, it's a light-hearted book with plenty of humour. While the thought processes and experiences of Craig, the main character with depression are quite different than mine, Ned Vizzini wrote from his own experience and tragically succumbed to his own depression at age 32.  ...
