An Afternoon Freebie!

I’m on my lunch break --- feet up in my room. I think my feet are the one thing on my body that really feel the strain of a long time standing, and many days teaching in a row.

This means that I had to put the “do not disturb” sign on the door --- the housekeeping cart was only 2 doors down, and I know they were working at getting to my room to clean it, but they can wait til AFTER lunch break—I’m not moving!

With teacher dinners out ((Love it! Last night we hit a Thai place --- the Glendale Quilt Show staff treated David Taylor, Mickey Lawler, Larkin Van Horn and myself to some of the yummiest Thai food to be found –)) and HAVING to pop in and see what was going on in the mystery madness class last night that ran from 6pm to midnight ---I need a nap!

But first --- email….and that leads to calendar checking, and that leads to facebook and that leads to surfing and that leads to – oh! Look what I found!

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
Amy Hobbes never expected to solve anything tougher than a crossword puzzle. When she left her job as a journalist in Southern California, she planned to give the adrenaline a rest, but her next job, managing editor of a local newspaper, delivers some surprises.

After a respected Senator and World War II hero dies and two more people turn up dead, the news heats up. Both victims had ties to a hotel owned by the Senator’s family. With the help of reporter pal Clarice and the new man in her life, Phil, Amy uncovers a number of shadowy figures, including a Holocaust survivor who’s spent sixty years tracking down Nazi loot. It’s a complex and dangerous puzzle, but Amy can’t walk away until she solves it.

Midwest Book Review: “Edited for Death” is a riveting and much recommended pick for general fiction and mystery collections.

I found this review helpful:

"Edited For Death" is your classic, loveable mystery novel but with an interesting spin (I can't share what this 'spin' is because I won't give away spoilers). I love it when mysteries are engaging enough to keep you guessing the identity of the killer even when you aren't reading the book, and this did that for me.

I found myself constantly considering the plot of this book and weighing the likeliness of each suspect against one another. I continually narrowed down my suspect list as the book progressed and am pleased to announce that I picked my killer correctly (I'm pretty good at that).

I am an avid mystery reader and enjoyed that this book brought back the classic structure to mystery fiction because it has been a while since I read a book like that.
I loved this intricate plot which was riddled with suspense, plot twists and, of course, mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will certainly read more by the author.

"Edited For Death" is a compelling mystery novel with strong characterization, an intricate plot, and twists that will keep you up all night reading.
