Book Review - Counterfeit Conspiracies - Ritter Ames

18748465
Title:  Counterfeit Conspiracies

Author:  Ritter Ames

Review:  This is the second book by Ritter Ames that I have read.  Both books were gifts from my daughter for Mother’s day and a very enjoyable gift they were.

This book is totally different than the last book I read by this author.  That books was called Organized for Murder and was the complete opposite from this one that I find very interesting.  Most authors that I read seem to stick to one theme, lots of action and thrillers or softer stories about families and friends and small towns.  Ritter has taken two stories from “different parts of the world” and yet both stories are good and fun fast reads!

Counterfeit Conspiracies is book 1 of this series and introduces a character by the name of Laurel.  Laurel is a tall lanky blond beauty that “grew up in wealth and society until her grandfather died and her father gambled away the family fortune, now with more pedigree than trust fund she is the premier art recovery expert for museums that need to stay one step ahead of international thieves.”

Of course there is a hint of love in the offing, but the book is free of any entanglement's and a very clean read which, I for one, appreciate.

This is a good read and a good mystery full of fun and intrigue!!  I give this book three stars!

Thanks Eileen for this review.

Synopsis:  Laurel Beacham grew up in wealth and society—until her grandfather died and her father gambled away the family fortune. Now with more pedigree than trust fund, she is the premier art recovery expert for museums that need to stay one step ahead of international thieves. Her latest assignment pits her against a mystery man, Jack Hawkes, who is not only her equal with blue bloods, but also seems to know where all the bodies are buried. Suddenly Laurel is racing against time to find a priceless art object before the enemy does, locate a missing art world compatriot with crucial information, and decide whether or not she wants to disentangle herself from this new male nemesis, Jack, who seems to know too much about her and her business.

Paperback, 216 pages

Published December 1st 2013 by Gemma Halliday Publishing

Author Information:  Ritter is an award-winning author who writes the Body of Art mystery series and the Organized for Mystery series, both published by Gemma Halliday Publishing. She focuses most of her time and writing energies on globe trotting the world via her keyboard to create memorable characters and fascinating fiction novels for readers. In this great new endeavor, her cat muse remains faithfully by her side–only voicing displeasure when the food bowl sits empty due to Ritter focusing more on writing than on kibble. Ritter tries to blog regularly athttp://ritterames.wordpress.com/ and uses her Pinterest boards at http://www.pinterest.com/ritterames/ to capture great places and ideas she wants to use in both series.

Product Review - Megaphone by Croove -



Review:  Love Love Love this fun megaphone - we have played with it in the house with the kids and the dogs and I tell you it is funny to use it to wake up a kid that refuses to get out of bed with the normal knock on the door - funny stuff - the dogs love to howl along with the megaphone and the 2 modes are fun to use also.

My kids are dying to take it to a game and yell and cheer with the crowd, I plan on using it at back to school day with students who are loud in the hallway - it will be a great item to have for quieting down the drone of teenagers -

Love this fun - inexpensive megaphone that will get plenty of use in our home - calling the kids home for dinner from the park - yelling at the barking dog next door - cheering the home team on - cheering the runners in track and cross country - playing games with the family - getting attention at a big outdoor park or pool - and just for the heck of it - Fun stuff this megaphone is!!!

Book Tour Review - TLC Tours - To Dwell in Darkness - Deborah Crombie


.

18090112
Title: To Dwell in Darkness

Author: Deborah Crombie

Review: A solid mystery with plenty of twists to keep the reader guessing.
The crime is witnessed by a police officer and caught partially on video
tape, but initially nobody is quite sure what has happened or who the
victim is.

In true police procedural style, methodically following each small clue
from insight to insight, the case opens up to encompass a much larger and
surprising conspiracy.  It also demonstrates the simple choices of regular
people can lead to complex results.

The B plot involves the protagonist’s recent transfer and subsequent
blending issues with his new team.  As he deals with the inherent mistrust
among his new colleagues as the try to get along, he finds himself calling
on his past friends for help.  It shows how prejudging others can really
screw things up; especially since history has taught us we are rarely
correct in our assessments.  As a sometimes reader of this series, I did
find the B plot a little hard to follow because I am not up to date with
the multi-book character development.

A good mystery best served when read in series with the other books by this
author.

Sent for a review.

Publisher: William Morrow
ISBN: 978-0-06-227161-7
Copyright: 2014
Pages: 324
Quick Review: 3.5 stars out of 5
Why I Read It: Love police procedural mysteries, love English mysteries
even more, and have read a couple of other books in this series.
Where I Obtained the Book: Sent to me by the publisher for review.

Synopsis: In the tradition of Elizabeth George, Louise Penny, and P. D.
James, "New York Times" bestselling author Deborah Crombie delivers a
powerful tale of intrigue, betrayal, and lies that will plunge married
London detectives Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James into the unspeakable
darkness that lies at the heart of murder.

Recently transferred to the London borough of Camden from Scotland Yard
headquarters, Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and his new murder
investigation team are called to a deadly bombing at historic St. Pancras
Station. By fortunate coincidence, Melody Talbot, Gemma s trusted
colleague, witnesses the explosion. The victim was taking part in an
organized protest, yet the other group members swear the young man only
meant to set off a smoke bomb. As Kincaid begins to gather the facts, he
finds every piece of the puzzle yields an unexpected pattern, including the
disappearance of a mysterious bystander.

The bombing isn t the only mystery troubling Kincaid. He s still
questioning the reasons behind his transfer, and when his former boss who s
been avoiding him is attacked, those suspicions deepen. With the help of
his former sergeant, Doug Cullen, Melody Talbot, and Gemma, Kincaid begins
to untangle the truth. But what he discovers will leave him questioning his
belief in the job that has shaped his life and his values and remind him
just how vulnerable his precious family is.
