Review: Dead Cert by Dick Francis
Horses and murder in the English countryside…..how can I resist a book like that?
Jockey, Alan York, is riding in a steeplechase race when his long time friend, Bill Davidson, takes a terrible fall over the last fence.
Alan finishes the race in first place and rushes back to check on his friend. Bill is quickly taken to the hospital but it is too late, he is dead. Alan examine the fence where Bill went down and discovers the remains of a wire, indicating that the fall was anything but an accident.
The dark world of horse racing and bookmaking is one that Alan is familiar with. He knows the dangers of ‘stopping’ a horse intentionally during a race, he knows that the horse racing world is full of unsavory characters but he also knows that his best friend Bill, would never enter into anything dishonest which makes his death even more of a mystery.
As Alan digs deeper into Bill’s death, he puts himself in great danger…..what happened to Bill could easily happen to Alan and it would look just like an accident.
Review: Day Shift (Midnight, Texas #2) by Charlaine Harris
Midnight, Texas is full of all kinds of weird residents.
It’s a one light town in the middle of nowhere Texas and its residents are witches, vampires, and all sorts of supernatural beings.
Manfred is a psychic and has been enjoying his time in Midnight.
It’s quiet and everyone stays out of everyone else’s business…..everyone in Midnight is secretive about their lives which is fine by Manfred.
Well the most mysterious of the Midnight bunch is Olivia, no one seems to know anything about her other than that she lives with a vampire and she’s smoking hot.

Review: The Last Bookaneer by Matthew Pearl
Matthew Pearl has been on my radar for a while now. His books always look so intriguing since they are historic thrillers books…..about books…..but for some reason I just haven’t made it around to reading any of his books.
When this one came around to review I jumped at it since this was an author I have wanted to read.
The Last Bookaneer explores the dark side of publishing and the literary pirates who commandeered unpublished works by famous authors. Before 1890, loose copyright laws allowed for author’s works to be publish on the blackmarket so to speak, which ultimately gave rise to the bookaneers whose job it was to track down these unpublished gems at any cost.
With the new international copyright laws going into effect, the great bookaneer, Pen Davenport, embarks on one last adventure to recover an unpublished work by Robert Louis Stevenson on the exotic island of Samoa. But he needs help, Pen knows he can’t obtain the book alone so he enlists the help of his long time associate, Fergins.
Fergins is the narrator of the story and has enjoyed a nice, quiet life selling books…..and occasionally assisting Pen but he has never experienced anything like this. Before he knows it, he is whisked off onto a boat bound for the South Pacific with Pen to steal a manuscript worth thousands.
