BOOK: April Yellow Moon, A Cat Collier Mystery, by Carol Ann Kauffman



In this fourth installment in the Cat Collier Short Story Mystery Series, a dear, old friend comes up missing and Cat Collier must scramble to find her before it's too late.

 
A powerful enemy resurfaces and claims responsibility for a personal attack on Cat's family. 
Nola relives Trent's murder.

 
Carter proposes...again.




Mary Catherine Collier, also known at Cat, started at the bottom of the ladder in the newspaper business. Literally the bottom. She wrote obituaries in the basement of the Heaton Valley Herald in a small town in northeastern Ohio.
But what she really wanted to do with her life was open her own investigation service business.

 
The Cat Collier mysteries have been called a cross between Nancy Drew and Mike Hammer. As the author of the twelve-book series, I've always thought them more as a cross between Jessica Fletcher and Jessica Jones.

The Cat Collier Mysteries are written as a serial series. It is best if you beginning with
 January Black Ice. Characters from the first book pop up in others. Problems... grow. 


These books are short, easy reads. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I've enjoyed writing them. The complete series in 
available on Amazon.

TV TIME: Worlds Apart (Tubi)


 This was a delightful film about love. It explores three Greek citizens from different age groups that fall in love with a foreigner during the devastating financial crisis that rocked Greece to its core in 2007-2008.

This is not my favorite genre. I much prefer some kind of escapism. Watching financial gloom is not my idea of rollicking good entertainment. 

However, J.K. Simmons was in this and he is a terrific actor. He is so versatile and believable in every role I’ve ever seen him in, including Santa. 

So we watched. It was sweet and sad and touching. I cried. 

The three distinct love stories had one thing in common. You need to watch it to find out.

I streamed it free on Tubi.

BOOK REVIEW: To Drink of Deceit by Blythe Baker




 In this Blythe Baker mini-mystery, Maddie Morgan goes on a Girls Trip to San Antonio, Texas with some friends for a fun time on the Riverwalk. You know, shopping, drinks, a good dinner or two, a nice hotel. 

Well, Maddie gets separated from the group and finds herself being stalked by a mystery man, getting involved in a stolen artifacts ring, and so much more. 

This is a good introduction to new character Maddie Morgan who I am sure will have many more adventures ahead of her.
