Sounds VERY interesting! Just can't afford anything at the moment. Have had to stick w/freebies & library books since I have been unemployed for over a year. Unfortunately, books are a luxury & not a necessity at this time :(
Ginger, Thanks for your kind comments. I understand books are sometimes considered luxuries. Do you review books?
Absolutely! It is one thing I have been very consistent with this year. Last year, I would read a book & rate it, but that was it. This year, I have read books, listed them here on Goodreads & have written a review for every one of them (as far as I know, I haven;t skipped one). I think it's important to not only rate a book, but give an honest review. I'm not a "great" reviewer...by that, I don't go into the story very much, but I do say how I liked the book, if I connected to the characters, if it kept me on the edge of my seat, etc. You're very welcome for the kind words. I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. :)
Gail, I apologize! I went back & looked at my records & out of the 25 I have read so far this year, there are 2 which I didn't review. I believe they were read around the time I was visiting my sister & her internet was down at the time. I'm sorry...I truly thought I had reviewed everything:(
My mystery novel (title in topic line above) is available on Kindle as of April 7, 2011.
Synopsis:
Pepper Bibeau's insurance investigations for a Wisconsin-based company sometimes involve a murder, but she never thought she would cause one.
Days before the 1968 Democratic Convention, Pepper arrives in Chicago to settle questionable medical claims from an elusive doctor. Her assignment also includes a background check on a life insurance beneficiary who admits to stabbing his wife.
When a close friend is killed, and Pepper is hospitalized after an unprovoked attack, a homicide detective decides someone wants to put a stop to her investigations. For her safety, he suggests she return to Wisconsin, but Pepper is determined to learn why her insurance investigation has stirred up a tragic chain of events. What she discovers are the devastating consequences of one person's greed that she must expose before someone stops her, permanently.
(Several topics dealt with in the story are not mentioned in the synopsis, including PTSD and leukemia.)
