Share No Secrets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Share No Secrets is a fast paced suspense that is centered around the town's hotel, La Belle Riviere. Some of the locals believe that the hotel is haunted but, can that explain all the mysterious events that seem to surround the town's grandest hotel?
After famous model, Julianna Brent's body is found by her best friend Adrienne Reynolds and Adrienne's daughter in the closed down hotel, it seems that danger isn't far behind. Adrienne is still reeling from the horrifying discovery of finding her best friend murdered when she figures out her own life may be in danger and learns that everyone has a secret. But is it too late to protect herself and keep her daughter, Skye, safe.
Carlene Thompson has created an action filled read with plenty of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end! This story is highly detailed with an array of in depth characters that are smart, funny and engaging. I felt that Ms. Thompson truly captured the feel of small town life and made you care about the characters she created.
Share No Secrets is one of the best stories this reader has picked up in a long time and I highly recommend it for anyone who's looking for a book that they can't put down.

Creepers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Frank Balenger claims to be a journalist interested in the urban art of "creepers", people who break-and-enter into old, abandoned buildings to see what they can see. Operating under the same constraints as professional cavers and with much of the same equipment, "creepers" invade an abandoned structure with the intent of taking pictures and leaving only footprints to mark their passage. Only the building Frank and his five new collegues invade is the Paragon Hotel, a luxury experience designed and built by a hemophiliac trapped within his own world that wanted to experience as much of the outside world as he could. Frank's lie about being a journalist is only the first of several that fall apart during the eight hours of hell and horror waiting for the "creepers".
David Morrell is known around the world for creating the character John Rambo. Author of over 30 novels, several of them feature or television movies, Morrell used to be an English professor that turned professional thriller writer. Many claim with his creation of Rambo that he invented the modern male action adventure novel. He writes from experience, from the literary field as well as hands-on training in hostage negotiation, evasive driving, firearms, and combat maneuvers.
The novel is a slam-bang adrenaline rush to the finish line that knocks the reader for a loop every time the plot seems clear. With simple, cutting prose, Morrell introduces readers to the urban art of "creeping", a mysterious millionaire who built a hotel to satisfy his own cravings, and more twists and turns in character relationships than a toboggan ride down an Olympic run. The information comes quickly and sparsely, just sips that go down when needed and never interfere with the ticking clock the author sets up in the first chapter.
Unfortunately, some of the other reviews give too much away. This is simply one of those novels impossible to talk too much about without spoiling so much.
CREEPERS is a white-knuckled adventure of a read. Easily understandable, engrossing, and ennervating, CREEPERS is not written for the reader who simply wants to while away a few minutes there. The plot, the characters, and the breakneck action will nail a reader to a chair until the ride is over and the last surprise is out of the box.

Murder at The Universe (A Five-Star Mystery) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was a surprise for me - came as a birthday gift, and I realized it was written by the General Manager of a favorite hotel of mine, the Opus in Vancouver. I'd met Daniel Craig during one of my visits to the Opus - so I was curious to read this.
Mr. Craig writes a compelling tale of murder in a modern New York hotel, full of rich, believeable characters. These people become more and more real, as he spins his multi-layered mystery of murder. I had a hard time putting this book down, and found myself reading way into the night. I was sad to finish the story - it is that good. I believe Agatha Christie would like this novel, very much.

Gambero Rosso Rome: Restaurants, Trattorias, Pizzerias, Wine Bars, Snacks, Wine Shops, Gourmet Foods, Home & Table, Hotels Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Gabero Rosso guides are legendary in Italy. Serious Italian food and wine lovers will rarely try something new without a recommendation from a friend, and often that friend is the Gambero Rosso guide. And I, along with many of my friends, won't travel through the countryside without a copy of the Gambero Rosso restaurant guide -- that way when we get hungry, we can quickly locate a great place to eat, call ahead and find ourselves sitting down before tasty meal very quickly and easily.
The problem for the causal tourist has always been that the Gambero Rosso restaurant guides are not published in English.
Now there is at least this book. While the Rome guide obviously lacks the vastness of the national editions, it is the best available English-language resource for anyone in the Eternal City looking to find a great meal at a restaurant that isn't already listed in every other guide book.
Granted, this book suffers from some of the shortcomings of the Gambero Rosso series as a whole: it generally doesn't reward restaurants that do something out of the ordinary, no matter how good, and the growing sector of ethnic and fusion restaurants in the capital are ignored. One might even criticize the choice of Rome for Gambero Rosso's first English-language restaurant guide, since Florence, Bologna and Genoa all have culinary traditions superior to that of Rome (no doubt Rome's 30 million tourists a year were the deciding factor there). But for any ex-pat living in Rome or any English-speaking visitor who wants some solid advice on where to eat his or her tripa or tagliateli, this is the book you want.

The Hotel Lincoln Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is just what the doctor prescribed at this opportunistic time of questions about the Castro regime in Cuba. The storyline keeps you constantly wondering "what is going to happen next". It was a well written fictional account with obvious attention to detail in communist Cuba. Fidel would enjoy reading this. Some bright enterprising soul will make this into an award winning movie. The book or the movie would make an interesting subject of conversation throughout Cuba as those people assess where they stand with the government and each other.

Blood on the Tracks: A Novel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To be honest I had no idea what to expect when I was given a copy of "Blood on the Tracks" but I ended up being happily surprised. The story was original and the author had an amazing knowledge of the world in which he was writing about. Worth the read.

This morning. Room 211. The Chelsea Hotel. Elysian Row.
A man is lying face up on a red crushed-velvet chaise. His wide-open eyes stare at some unseen spot on the ceiling. He is wearing a pair of tight-fitting jeans, scuffed-up Spanish leather boots, and a matching Bolero vest. At first glance, one might mistake him for a vagabond, a vagrant, a drifter. He would have liked that. He always thought of himself as a traveling troubadour. But look closer. The lifeless man lying across the chaise is none other than superstar Bob Dorian.
He'd been hailed a poet, a prophet, and the voice of a generation. Dorian never wanted to be any of those things. The most famous rock star in the world always resented the attention. Of course, turning up dead attracts the most attention of all.
Suspects? Tons of them. They're all characters in Dorian's songs, not to mention they all hold a grudge.
Intent on finding the killer, Dorian's manager, Jack Frost, teams with Commissioner Tiresias and obituary writer Mister Johns to track down the true culprit and solve the mysterious murder.
And the answers they need may just be staring them in the face.
