More Fiction: Tasha and Tamera Alexander, Johnny D. Boggs, Jeff Lindsay

Fiction

Never Love a Lawman by Jo Goodman. Beautiful newcomer to Reidsville, CO must marry the local sheriff to claim her inheritance of the local railway.

Rio Chama by Johnny D. Boggs. Gunfighter Britton Wade takes on the challenge to transport a priest lynching condemned man to the gallows. But, the condemned man's father is the wealthy and powerful Senator Cole and the Senator does not want his son to hang. I read Boggs' Spur Award winner Camp Ford, it was good.

Dexter by Design by Jeff Lindsay. I've never seen the television series but have really enjoyed the books. The third book in the series, preceding this one, diverted from the usual storyline and involved demon possession. This fourth novel is back again to Dexter's usual problems of trying hard pass as a normal person while still following his hobby of murder.

The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood. Sequel to Atwood's Oryx and Crake and set in a post-apocalyptic land.

The Inheritance by Tamera Alexander. Inspirational romance. All these inspirational titles have the same cover designs. There will be a demurely dressed, pretty gal in her early to mid-twenties in the front and a rugged but handsome dude in the background. Both figures are outdoors in a field or the mountains or both.

Beyond This Moment by Tamera Alexander. A different series with the same dang cover style.

Tears of Pearl by Tasha Alexander. Newlyweds Lady Emily and Colin Hargreaves are honeymooning in Constantinople when a harem girl is murdered. A local diplomat recognizes the victim as his daughter, who was kidnapped twenty years earlier, and Emily and Colin promise to investigate. Alexander was at last year's Murder and Mayhem in Muskego (and also scheduled for this year's) and her books sounded interesting. I bought this one since her other book we have A Fatal Waltz circ'ed well.

Rough Country by John Sandford. The usual.

Evil for Evil by James R. Benn. Another World War Two mystery by Benn featuring former Boston policeman Billy Boyle. Boyle is sent to Northern Ireland to track down some missing BARs that the IRA plans to use in an uprising and maybe ally themselves with the Axis. This is a good series, I recommended it before.

Red's Hot Honky-Tonk Bar by Pamela Morsi. Fortysomething Red is suddenly the guardian of two grandkids she barely knows. How will she mix the kids into her late-nights, bar owning lifestyle, and boy-toy boyfriend?

The Siege by Stephen White. Children of the Sec. of the Army and a Supreme Court Justice are captive inside the Skull and Bones building.

Stardust by Joseph Kanon. 1945 Hollywood where a returned veteran does not believe his successful movie-making brother killed himself.

Blood Safari by Deon Meyer. Emma sees a picture of her brother on the evening news as a murder suspect. But, her brother disappeared 20 years earlier in South Africa's Kruger National Park. Emma makes some inquiries and is attacked, so she hires a personal security guy and goes searching.

That Old Cape Magic by Richard Russo. I don't care enough to read the description.

All the Dead Voices by Declan Hughes. Dublin private investigator investigates. This series has been popular here.

The Puzzle King by Betsy Carter. Woman works to rescue her relatives from 1936 Germany.
