Lyn Reviews Richard Houston’s A View to Die For

A View to Die For (To Die For #1)A View to Die For by Richard Houston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I hadn’t realized that I had read two other books in the “to die for” series. The cover is dominated by a large, shaggy dog, not like the Disney classic, just a big furry canine. Anyway, that’s Fred who does not have a point of view and it’s just a big, lovable pet. The cast of characters are definitely not the kind of people I usually hang around with, and I had sympathy for the hero, amateur detective, since he WAS able to think logically. I understood why he moved away from his family! Anyway, very twisty Turny plot with plenty of red herrings, and a fun dog!

Lyn Asks the November Question

Out My Window-Fall

 

What’s the November question, you ask? Well, let’s have a bit of fun. 

Do you have a fond childhood memory of Halloween or fall in general you’d like to share? 

I know many people don’t like all the gruesome and dark things that are now a part of Halloween. I don’t like them either. I won’t even watch Halloween Baking Championship and I watch all the other holiday baking shows. But everything they bake for the HBC is disgusting or revolting looking. I wouldn’t touch it much less eat it. UGH.

But I do have happy memories of cheerful trick or treating as a child and with my children. So anything you’d like to share—funny or heartwarming?–Lyn

Contempt Cover Front

 

Grandma BB, (I love that photo!) the unofficial matriarch of the Jamieson clan, is getting her house in order for the perfect homegoing celebration. After all, she’s eighty-something.

She summons Parke Jamieson VI, his brothers, cousins, and their families to play a part in the practice funeral program—only if they follow her instructions to the letter.

Since the Jamiesons are at her house with bodyguards Chip and Dale, they might have an impromptu family game night.

The evening is full of surprises, especially when an unexpected visitor shows up to steal the show. With more work that needs to be done, Grandma BB plans to put her funeral on hold and stick around for a couple more generations.

Lyn Needs Help with a Title!

booksbylyncote.com Posted on by

Now for the September question.

I need help with the title of my book that will come out early 2024. It will be the final book and my “The Preacher’s Daughters” series. My heroine, Kat, short for Katherine, is a small town business owner who is forced to take on a partner after medical expenses for her late father have cropped up. Through friends, she has connected with a Chicago businessman who wants to leave the big city. So here are the two choices: 

A:“Kat’s Big-City Partner,”

or 

B: “Kat’s Strictly-Business Partner.”

Please vote for A or B! Or if you have a better C, leave that here. And maybe you’ll be offered a free copy!–Lyn

Lyn Reviews Patricia McLinn’s Death on Torrid Ave.

Death on Torrid Ave. (Secret Sleuth #2)Death on Torrid Ave. by Patricia McLinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I recently reviewed book one of the series, “Secret Sleuth,” and here is my review a book two.

The heroine with her secret past, Sheila, has begun a new life in a Kentucky town. A quiet small town uneventful life is what she wants, right? And she gets it, right?

Of course, wrong! Sheila is one of those Jessica Fletcher kind of heroines who find bodies wherever they go!

I found the local dog park on Torrid Ave. to be an interesting place for a murder. And of course the victim– just like the one in Death on Diversion–was a person who would have won the most likely to be murdered, or at least assaulted, award. Some people aren’t happy, unless they are at odds with someone or everyone. Don’t be that person! You may not end up murdered but I wouldn’t chance it!
A thoroughly believable and enjoyable mystery with lots of furry friends!
