Mystery & Thriller

“. . . a credible mystery plot, but without anyone to root for . . .”

“Thrillers don’t get much better.”

“. . . a good story that keeps the reader in suspense until the killer is finally revealed.”

“Totally addictive entertainment.”

The maxim write what you know certainly applies in this case. The detective in the Starlight Detective Agency series, David Lowell, like the author, is an astrologer.

It’s not easy to write the second book in a series. The author doesn’t want to bore the readers with a re-hash of the characters’ lives. Yet the new reader must be made aware of the backstory.

“Bloodline shows the younger Mr. Francis gaining strength and confidence . . .”

“A powerful, hypnotic debut novel filled with the horror of conflict, treachery, and intrigue . . .”

“. . . hard to put down.”

This is a cool book, not in the hip way or the frosty way, but in a low-amplitude, dispassionate way.

“. . . a thought-provoking and thrilling mystery.”

“. . . [a] bold, bigger-than-life adventure. . .”

“One of the finest crime novels this year.”
