Sharpshooter: A Sunny McCoskey Napa Valley Mystery (Napa Valley Mysteries) ReviewI really enjoyed reading this book and I don't normally read fiction. (As my previous reviews indicate.) I had just finished reading a beautiful big coffee table book - "Napa Stories: Profiles, Reflections, and Recipes from the Napa Valley" by Michael Chiarello. I was certainly in the mood.
Author Nadia Gordon did her homework about the Napa Valley. As a biologist I wasn't sure the glassy-winged sharpshooter was an actual insect. Well, it certainly is. She creates a very real "sense of place" about this world famous valley. She weaves in a lot about wine making, believable local politics, society and personal relationships.
I guess I am being a little bit picky, but I wish the book were a little bit longer to flesh out some of the characters more. However, this is the first of a series, so I guess it is a complement that I would like to know the characters better. The only other comment would be one of the main characters is named Rivka. It is a little bit difficult to mentally pronounce.
I must admit it was a great read and I look forward to the rest of the series.Sharpshooter: A Sunny McCoskey Napa Valley Mystery (Napa Valley Mysteries) Overview

Plum Lucky - A Stephanie Plum Between-the-numbers Novel ReviewStatisically speaking, luck has a normal distribution, that is, it has a bell shaped curve. Most people are in the middle with an average amount of luck, but some people are at an extreme point on the curve and are unlucky all the time (like that character in Lil Abner who walked around with a black cloud over his head), and some are at the other end and are lucky all the time. So goes life.
It's St. Patrick's Day and there is a rainbow in the air. Grandma Mazur stumbles into a duffle bag full of money - lots of money. She thinks that it is lucky money and hers to keep. Let the good times roll. She is off to Atlantic City. But other people have claims on the money. The story has an interesting cast of characters including an ex-jockey who thinks that he is an invisible leprechaun (he is always lucky, but manages to fumble it away); of course there are Stephi, Lula, and Connie from the bailbonds office; Diesel appears from Stephi's past - another man in her life; a short guy hired by Grandma Mazur; the gangster Delvina; and a horse to add to the adventures and misadventures. Of course there is the money.
You will have to read the novel to see how it all shakes out. The novel is not great literature, but is extremely funny. ROFL. Some scenes towards the end had me laughing so hard I had trouble continuing.
It is a short novel, and a quick read, at 166 pages with 28 lines per page somewhat widely spaced in easy reading type. It contains what a friend would call earthy language. I would personally classify it as PG-13.Plum Lucky - A Stephanie Plum Between-the-numbers Novel Overview

Road Kill ReviewThis book has plenty of suspense and action. If you like motorcycles, it will be an extra treat for you. Charlie Fox is ex-British Special Forces turned body guard. She smart and tough. She also struggles with issues from her past, her family, her friends, and her ex-boyfriend.
The story picks up after Charlie's first bodyguard job in the States. There's lots of clever action and not a lot of gun play.
In this 5th book of the series, the references to Charlie's dark side and especially those of her boyfriend get a little repetitive. But, the rest of the book makes up for it.
The first few books of the series were somewhat hard to acquire. I ordered a couple of the books from a bookseller that specializes in out of print books. Here are the books: Killer Instinct, Riot Act, Hard Knocks, First Drop, Road Kill, Second Shot. Riot Act is my favorite.Road Kill Overview

Third Strike: A Thriller (Charlie Fox Thriller) ReviewLoved it!! Have got all of Zoe Sharp's Charlie Fox books. Think it was Road Kill that wasn't my personal favorite but it has been a couple of years since I read it. This one Zoe Sharp has got Charlie back on target. This was actually one of those books that had me hooked from page one. Sat down and started it on a Saturday afternoon and had to make myself put it down to go to bed and got up Sunday morning and finished it. Been a long time since I have found a book that made everything else wait until I finished it. I read the Charlie Fox books in order which maybe that is why I liked this one so much, liked the whole more personal aspect with Charlie and her parents and with Sean. Cannot wait for the next one to see what happens with her and Sean.Third Strike: A Thriller (Charlie Fox Thriller) Overview

Fourth Day. Zo Sharp ReviewOK. So I read each Lee Child Jack Reacher book the moment its in paperback (now moving slowly to Kindle), and I can't get enough Joe Hunter from Matt Hilton either - but, thank goodness there is a similar strong female character from Zoe Sharp. My only complaint? That there not more of the books.Fourth Day. Zo Sharp Overview

Repo Chick Blues (The Leah Ryan Mysteries) ReviewI found the book to be a very well written Mystery with excellect character and plot development. Leah Ryan is a smart sassy young woman with a social conscience. She finds her self in difficult situations and always thinks her way through them. There is also a lovely touch of spice that keeps you looking for more of Leah, her life and her adventures. I also love the fact that is is one of a series. Tracy Sharp has done a terrific job portraying the thoughts, adventure and life of a young single woman with a little attitude.. This is definately 2 thumbs up, hard to put down read!!!Repo Chick Blues (The Leah Ryan Mysteries) OverviewReformed car thief Leah Ryan is trouble. But she is keeping her nose clean when her Jeep is repossessed. Unfortunately, most of her money is going toward past due attorney fees for her younger brother Jesse; a mischievous hacker serving his last few weeks in prison. Without a way to get to her construction job, she is fired. Leah needs a job fast. She's a natural at stealing cars, and decides to ask Callahan Parker, the man who repossessed her Jeep, to hire her. This decision marks the beginning of a nightmare for Leah Ryan.During her first night of work, Leah makes an enemy of a twisted drug lord, Brent Woodard, who targets her for revenge. Things go from bad to worse when Leah discovers that Woodard is smuggling Asian women into the United States and forcing them into prostitution. She is determined to stop him, by any means necessary. But Woodard has friends. Among these is a crooked, sadistic cop who makes her plan more dangerous than she could have ever imagined. Soon it's not only her life at stake, but that of her brother Jesse, who disappears within a day of his release from prison. Leah enlists the help of Callahan and a few friends from her shady past; a past she promised herself she'd never return to, to enter into a dark underworld of sex, drugs and death.

Killer Instinct (Charlie Fox Series) ReviewIf you like US female PIs (VI Warshawski, Kinsey Millhone) then you'll like Charlie Fox.
Charlie is tough. She teaches women's self-defence (which she took up after being raped in the army), rides a motorbike and is very independent.
The book starts with Charlie's friend Clare being attacked during karaoke night at a local nightclub by reigning champion Susie Hollins. Charlie deals with the attack and is offered a job as a bouncer by the clubs owner. Hours later Susie Hollins is found dead - the latest victim of a homicidal rapist that has been terrorising the local community. Charlie suspects a link between the nightclub and the homicidal rapist and she begins to investigate.
The book moves along at a cracking pace and Charlie is a believable tough heroine. The identity of the killer may be obvious in a plot that has been used many times before, but Charlie is interesting enough to carry you through.Killer Instinct (Charlie Fox Series) Overview
