The Harvest Club by Iona Morrison

The Harvest Club
by Iona Morrison

    Book Description

 September 5, 2014
Jessie Reynolds has no idea when she moves to Blue Cove, that she will be sharing her life with a ghost. A young pastor has been murdered, and Jessie finds herself following the trail of that death into the dark and deadly world of organ trafficking.

Jessie is soon introduced to the detective in charge of the case. Matt Parker is a tall, scruffy, ruggedly handsome man who takes an instant dislike to her and the feeling is mutual. He wants her out of his case and she finds herself entangled in it. The tension between them mounts and so does the attraction.



Book Review from Amazon:
5.0 out of 5 stars Must read!!! You won't be disappointed!!!! September 19, 2014
Format:Paperback|Verified Purchase
I just finished a new (and first) novel written by Iona Morrison; title “The Harvest Club". Wow, what a great read!! I enjoyed every page of this mystery. My criteria for a good read are style, character and plot development. Ms. Morrison’s clean, crisp writing style kept me turning pages and I was intrigued by the characters from the start. Plot development is tight and keeps you guessing all the way to the end.
The main character Jessie is a delight. It is great to see a strong woman character not painted as isolated and needy due to her strength. Always disappointing are the seemingly strong women characters that fall apart and in the end some guy comes in to rescue them. Wonderful to read a book where the female character is genuinely strong and the world doesn’t melt backwards into the 50’s!!
Throughout the book Jessie's character never wavers, she is self-confident because of her personal convictions and ethics. Her curiosity and internal intelligence serve her well and guide her to the truth.
The setting, the plot and all the other characters are there for the reader to discover. Through her writing skill, Ms. Morrison transports you to Blue Cove and tells a story that will linger in your mind for a long time.
I say Iona Morrison nailed it!!! I cannot wait until her next book.

Alphabet on the Farm by Susan Harris

 Alphabet on the Farm
by Susan Harris



Alphabet on The Farm is a picture book for ages 2-6 (or for adults who love the small farm). It is dedicated "For children who have experienced the delights of a farm. For those who have not, I bring the farm to you."  It uses letters of the alphabet to introduce words relating to the farm.

Book Description:
Have you tasted milk? Do you know where the foods you eat come from? If you guessed a farm you are correct.  Farms are exciting places where crops are grown and animals are raised. You can find trucks and tractors, cherries and berries, wheat and oats, kittens and cows, fields and trees and a whole lot more on the farm. 
Have you visited a farm or lived on one? If yes, this book will preserve that special memory, and if you have not visited one, this book will bring the farm to you.
