Review: Murder in Hum Harbor - Jayne E. Self

-


The thing I love most about White Rose Publishing is the fact that they prove to outsiders that Christian Fiction just doesn't include the sweet inspirational stories and are light and fluffy. They show outsiders that Christian Fiction has substance and can be about issues that pertain to people's lives and that danger can be lurking just around the corner and that First Impressions are not things that are precise.
Review: Murder in Hum Harbour - Jayne E.Self - September 2011
Wanting a Cozy ( I've decided to adopt the American spelling as to me our way with an "s" just doesn't look right) Mystery to read ? One that will have you guessing the murdered right up to the last page as it seems in the small community of Hum Harbour - everybody is a murder suspect and they all seem to have very good reasons for wanting the deceased to be well Dead.
The story starts with main character Gailynn aka Gai finding the former Doc's boat stuck in the reef, this strikes her as odd since he's supposed to be sailing off into the sunshine for his retirement. Upon closer inspection, Gai discovers the Doc dead and soon his death has been ruled from accident to homicide . Who wanted the Doc dead ? As Gai seems to be the only one that cared about the Doc , she decides to get to the bottom of it - but it seems that the only way for her to actually get towards the truth of what happened is to delve deeper into the business of the community of Hum Harbour and it seems like everybody has something to hide from financial troubles to unfaithful husbands to law suits.  Soon Gai will realise that the people she loved or trusted are not what they seem and what will happen when she discovers the two people she loved most in the world are the ones that she should be scared or worried about rather than the rest of the residents of Hum Harbour ? So, readers in order to find out who killed the Doc, you will have to turn the pages of this fast-paced thriller "Murder in Hum Harbour". A mystery that you won't want to or be able to for a better word , put down.

    I happily lost all my free time one weekend - once I started to read I had to keep going. Lots of intriguing happenings, a spicy story told with moments of great humour. Can hardly wait for her next book

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
