Dead Barchetta

by Kathryn Lively
- Rated 5 stars
“Dead Barchetta is a mystery novel. More than that, its hero is not a gumshoe, but a music tutor by day and tribute band guitarist by night. Matt “Lerxst” Johnston doesn’t have an enemy in the world…so he thinks. And as for women, what rocker doesn’t have them wanting him? Except for one young woman, who tries to kill him by smothering him while he is sleeping in his bed. With mistaken identities (another Matt Johnson in Virginia Beach is found murdered), fear of his grandmother’s special “herb” garden being discovered and investigators, plus the suicide of his would-be killer in his music studio, Lerxst takes off on a bus to New York City to investigate why the girl came to Virginia Beach. And he finds more mysteries to add to the one that he is already investigating. He discovers more about himself and what he needs to do to survive the next attempt on his life, and what a strange trip that it is.

And yes, the book is too a trip, a very enjoyable one. Ms. Lively delivers one rock and roll of a mystery. I look forward to the next Lerxst Johnson mystery by Kathryn Lively.

Fear

“Interesting, showing what fear can do to someone. I figured the ending before the ending, but maybe you won't. Read it and see if you do.”

Soulless

by Gail Carriger
- Rated 5 stars
“Really enjoyed this book. Loved the character, Alexia. No shrinking violet and a bluestocking to boot, she lives in a Victorian England where vampires and werewolves are the norm and accepted. Can't wait for Changless to be out.”

The Warded Man

by Peter V. Brett
- Rated 5 stars
“I had received this in the mail from the publisher way before it was released. I read it and found it interesting, keeping me reading it until I was done. I can not wait for the second book in the series. It comes out today, March 10th, for sale. I would recommend you run out an d get it. With winter full of cold days until spring, this is the perfect novel for reading by the fire. And even if you plan to keep it for summer vacation, a great beach read too.”
