BOOK REVIEW #THE LEMON HOUSE MURDERS #TUCKER MAY #TUCKER MAY BOOKS #MYSTERY #BOOK ON TOUR


 MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW

"The Lemon House Murders" by Tucker May plunges into the dark heart of a live-in drug rehabilitation facility, the Lemon House, where a series of unexplained deaths begin to occur. Unbeknownst to the indifferent outside world, these are not accidental or natural deaths, but calculated murders.

Two residents of Lemon House, known by their nicknames Trip and Gobstopper, are the only ones who recognize the sinister pattern of the murders. As they embark on a dangerous quest to uncover the killer among them, their burgeoning relationship is tested to its limits. The investigation casts suspicion on all the individuals confined within the house, forcing Trip and Gobstopper to confront difficult truths about their fellow residents and themselves.

More than just a whodunit, "The Lemon House Murders" is described as a page turner and thought-provoking murder mystery that delves into profound themes. Readers are challenged to consider theological questions, society's treatment. There exists a tense atmosphere where everyone inside the house is a potential suspect. As they delve deeper, their own budding relationship is pushed to its limits by the stress and danger. They are compelled to confront not only the killer but also their own deeply held beliefs and the harsh realities of their situation.

Truly a fascinating read for crime readers and who love mystery novels.



BLURB


A string of mysterious deaths . . . A house full of suspects . . . A secret that will change everything . . .


When residents of a live-in drug rehabilitation facility called Lemon House start dying one by one, no one in the outside world seems to care.


Two Lemon House patients, nicknamed Trip and Gobstopper, are the only ones who can see the truth: these are murders.


Their quest to find the killer will push their budding relationship to the brink, cast suspicion on everyone locked in the house with them, and force them to question their most cherished beliefs.


The Lemon House Murders is the rare murder mystery that will have you guessing at the culprit AND thinking deeply about theology, society’s relationship toward the downtrodden, and the importance of self-determination to a fulfilling life.

BOOK ON TOUR #AFTER PEARL #HISTORICAL CRIME FICTION #SANTA FE WRITERS PROJECT PUBLISHERS #BOOK REVIEW #STEPHEN G EOANNOU

  MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW After Pearl is a captivating historical mystery set in 1942, during the turbulent months following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The novel follows Nicholas Bishop, an alcoholic private investigator and shell-shocked WWI veteran, who wakes up in a seedy hotel room with a hangover, a foggy memory, and two bullets missing from his revolver. Worse still, lounge singer Pearl DuGaye is dead, and Bishop is the prime suspect. As he stumbles through a haze of forgotten days, Bishop—assisted by the sharp and capable Gia Alessi, a loyal sidekick who may or may not still be on his payroll—dives into a web of deceit and danger. His investigation leads him through Buffalo’s underworld, rubbing shoulders with crooked politicians, high-society elites, and an underground group of American Nazis. All the while, he’s haunted by flashbacks from the Great War and shadowed by a one-eyed dog named Jake. The pacing is tight and energetic. The mystery unfolds gradually but never drag...

MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW  RG Belsky and Bonnie Traymore in their new novel SWIPE has put together all the troubles those dating apps or online dating can bring. Especially to anyone looking for love in the wrong places. This story has looked in depth at the unsuspected danger, risk, threat and guilt that comes to married people who think it's casual or normal that they can cheat their spouses behind their back. It's very evident that they are lonely, desperate or unhappy in their lives or relationships.  Jake, a Journalist at New York Banner is hellbent to prove the mysterious death of Matt Furman. Matt a hiker and a married man who dated women online behind his wife and children's back ended up falling down accidently to the Hudson river. Was Matt's death a tragic accident or murder? The irony is that Matt was dating Sonya online. Sonya disliked Matt at their first encounter at the Palisade trail. Jake who covers stories desires to know why Matt committed infidelity...
