Blood and Ash is the first book in The Jezebel Files and as such it sets the tone and direction for the entire series. This seems to be off to a good start though using some lore from Judaism that doesn’t seem to get a lot of attention or representation in literature. So far the […]

Somehow, I thought with the title, The Crime Beat, I would be getting a true crime story. The genre is mystery / thriller and it is fiction. The main characters are an unlikely duo. Jane Cole is a crime beat reporter who is a widow. Rob Warren is a former marine, cop and now tracking […]
‘All skate, change directions.’ ‘Just Say No.’ ‘Gag me with a spoon.’ If you know what these sayings mean, or better yet, if you’ve actually heard them used not-ironically, I invite you to flash back to the eighties by reading My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix.

This is my first experience with this author, but it is also her first mystery / suspense/ thriller which is one of my favorite genres. When No One is Watching is creepy and a bit horrifying but I think it is because a lot of the story is realistic. Sadly, those with money or positions […]
Post WWI sees in the Jazz Age and Flappers, a generation of brittle survivors who will never see the world the same way again. Former spy, Verity, and her army veteran husband, Sydney, know this as much as anyone. Not all war casualties were left on the field. As they strive to pick up the […]

This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre or topic. The topic here, by my definition, is a series in a Chicago setting. These are the ones which came to mind. I enjoyed some more than others. The […]
