Off Season (Martha's Vineyard Mysteries (Avon Books)) ReviewThis book has animal rights protestors vs hunters, a gangster connection, a shady politician, sexual peccadillos, romance among a widow and widower, and kittens. Snow is falling all over the island during Christmas season, and Nash Cortez is stirring up trouble with the animal rights protectors. Later, a dead body is found, and our hero is hired by the girlfriend of the deceased to find the killer. He warns her, she might not like what he finds... a premonition of what is to come. This book was full of enjoyable aspects, and every chapter was a pleasure to read. As with all of Philip Craig's books, you will work up an appetite salivating over the food descriptions too. Thumbs up!Off Season (Martha's Vineyard Mysteries (Avon Books)) Overview

Gasa-Gasa Girl ReviewOld Masao Arai, American-born L.A. gardener and survivor of Hiroshima, is a character who grows on you. In this second book in what looks to become a series, Mas has been called across the country to Brooklyn by his daughter, who has married an Anglo named Lloyd -- who, Mas discovers, is also a gardener and a student of the Japanese style. "Gasa-gasa" means "always on the move" and that certainly describes Mari Arai Jensen. When the benefactor of the foundation that owns the garden where Lloyd works is mudered, everyone involved is pointing fingers in different directions, except that several of them end up pointing at Mari. Mas, well aware of having never been the best of fathers, takes upon himself the job of solving the killing to protect his extended family. He's aided by Tug Yamada, Nisei war hero and all-around straight-arrow, who's also visiting in New York, and by his network of cronies back on the coast. Things get dicey more than once, but Mas is a stubborn o ld coot and he keeps at it. The author has a gift for empathetic characterization and dialogue, and for efficient description in a scene. Her prose is direct and unpretentious, and I look forward to more stories about these guys.Gasa-Gasa Girl Overview

Cabal of The Westford Knight: Templars at the Newport Tower ReviewAny review of this book by a member of the St. Clair family may be viewed with some skepticism. However, I assure you, I am not a 'true believer' of the Prince Henry St. Clair story. This is why my family held the Atlantic Conference this past Fall in Halifax, Nova Scotia - to find the real evidence of early trans-Atlantic voyaging. There, I was lucky enough to meet David and receive an advance copy of his book.
David's writing style is thorougly enjoyable, but this book goes much further in that it's also a tremendous resource on all matters of this unsuual story of Templar history, the St. Clair family, diffusionism, petroglyphs, and much more. Being a member of the family who may descend from Jarl Henry St. Clair, it's difficult to show me new information, but Mr. Brody does and frames it with a knowledge of the plot lines of history that put it all in perspective.
I highly recommend this book.

Chasing a Blond Moon: A Woods Cop Mystery (Woods Cop Mysteries) ReviewHaving greatly enjoyed Heywood's first two Wood Cop mysteries, I looked forward to reading this next one. But I was disappointed by the quality of the writing and the story. The book is thicker and the story is longer and more confusing than in his first two books. What Heywood really, really needed for this book was a ruthless editor.
The story line is terribly convoluted, with many happenings that simply didn't make sense to me, and various strands which were not brought together at the end. Through much of the story I really didn't know where we were in the mystery; I couldn't keep track of all that was going on. And there were too many other happenings in a warden's life that were distracting from the main story. I never could figure out what Trapper Jet had to do with the story. And there wasn't much writing about being in the woods, about woods skills and real natural resources information as he did in the first two books. One part I liked was chapter 37 about Service's visit to the Ojibway elder Santinaw; that took us back into the brush.
Nor could I understand why, if Siquin Soong's White Moon Trading Co. was subject to a federal investigation for drug trafficking and smuggling, Grady Service or Maridly Nantz wouldn't have warned the Michigan Governor candidate Lorelei Timms, who counted Soong as a major supporter. My God, if a major supporter were the center of a federal investigation, wouldn't I want to know that?
And finally, the book seemed somewhat more coarse with respect to sexual exploits, with people hopping in and out of bed with each other. This wasn't integral to the story, but it appeared to be more prominent than in the first two books. Overall, his latest work just plain needed some ruthless editing.Chasing a Blond Moon: A Woods Cop Mystery (Woods Cop Mysteries) Overview
